In Which Gardening Will Not Redeem Diocletian

Good morning, my friend! I am fighting against the desire to sleep, as I do want to write a post today. My eyes are so heavy, my muscles are all failing, it is like I am going to explode in exhaustion. And yet, maybe it isn't sleep, it could be anemia in any case, I hope you are in a healthier position than me, today? Of course, do let me know. And also, let me know how is the weather? Here it is one day of mild winter, which is so much appreciated. Fun how just being some centimeters in a different direction, concerning the planets, can make a difference! Here, it means the difference between a scorching day, and a more mild one. There could be influence of the ocean currents as well, but anyway, I would love to jump to today's theme, that motivated me to write. If you allow me, let is jump to it! As I mentioned anemia, let us turn to gardening, or more specifically, to cabbages and lettuces. I saw a post today that pointed that Emperor Diocletian abdicated the throne to go ta...

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!!!
