In Which a Defeat feels like Victory

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! Hope you are okay? Do let me know! And maybe the weather is also fairing not as summery, instead leaning more on towards Autumn, assuming you come from the north! Here, the weather of September has been mild, which is a blessing! As a whole, the month so far was one of a slowly fading winter, in towards what one can pray it may be a fresh spring. As for me, the weekend was relatively calm. I did play some games, and I could work on my first 2026 season christmas postcard! As a personal tradition I have, I do it early, as I adore christmas. I was worried if this year I could have done it as early, fortunately the answer is yes! As usual, this is dedicated to my dear pen pals, excellent online friends, that I have cultivated across the years. It has a sparkly feel to it, more than in past years. It just ended up this way, and I like it. No reason for it to look particularly optimistic, just happened in the end. God knows I have my lament...

In which we say Hello to July! Meet Mr. Struggleshire

Good morning, dear reader! Welcome to the divagation store! Here we are, in the month of July! Happy July to you, wish you the best! I'm really happy to have you here, as I always am! The rainy days are back, I'm wearing my new sweater, writing this post while watching to Scandal and commiting a fashion crime wearing socks with slippers! Things seem to be going fine today, and I really hope we all may have a nice month, better than June, and better than May! And how are you today? How's your day going so far? Are you commiting any fashion crime as well? Hmm hope not, this world can't take another socks with slippers!


Here's my new sweater btw, I love him so much

But not everything is roses in this vacation heaven, I'm 100% out of ideas for posts today, which is such a bummer! I thought really hard on what to write, and I still wanted to have a post today, cause you know, I love to write and just wanted to wish you a nice new month. Well, so I went to look for anything on my computer folder, and fortunately I found something that I think might be nice! Made this sketch a couple of weeks ago, meet Mr. Struggleshire!


Mr. Struggleshire was born in a rush of energy I had in some late week in June! He's in his mid 30's and he's an architect! His sweater is based on the pattern of Autocad, in one of the choice of colors you can have on the screen! And why is his name Mr. Struggleshire? Well, because architecture can be really hard, and many people tend to overlook it, and sometimes architecture school sounds more of a architorture for me - pun intended! Architects struggle, and Mr. Struggleshire knows that way too well, he drinks tons of coffee, stay way too late at night trying to fit bathrooms and kitchens into place, he cries in pain when his Revit software crashes, and he doesn't like contemporary architecture, so he founds himself lost in the world of Calatravas and Hadids, even though he's not a reactionary... 
Mr. Struggleshire is also a slightly different sketch for me, I tried a new shape for the eyes, and just a different configuration for the face, and also a different way to color him.
And Mr. Struggleshire is what we have for today! I'm really happy to have you here again! I see you next time! Happy July!!!
