In Which we have the tone for 2026 more defined: Dialogue of the Jane Jacobs

Good afternoon, dear friend, reader of this post! Hope you are okay? Of course, do let me know! As for me, I am okay. One hour at a time, at moments I am okay, at others I am exhausted, turbulence. Never quite good, I think I will be above okay when I can chat with dear friend. And with so many dear friends, and I will chat for hours and will have stimulating convos with so many handsome people. I love handsome people, unfortunately most, it seems, do not love me back, but anyway... even if this good state that I envision is not to be achieved that easily, frankly not even to be that much chased actively, if I can feel somewhat comfortable on my skin and have some hobby on the horizon, as well as a soft place to rest my body, I suppose this is okay enough. What can be said... I can ask for much more but I also will not insist. Could be worse... it is what it is.  Summer proceeds, the weather varies from some days with rain and a bit of relief, and much more with the heat being quit...

Song of the week! In which we explore a lovely Christmas song with Riley Elmore!

Hello everyone!! Happy Friday to you! And good afternoon! So nice to be here! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best, and hope everything is going nice! Lovely month of December and lovely Christmas season, definitely so wonderful to have reached this time of the year! I still have a lot to do for college, and I still have to study, but overall I'm almost in my vacations! Before we can go over to our song of the week, I'm so happy to see christmas decoration everywhere, so let me just show you guys another picture of it, just some more details! This season is amazing for me, I love taking pictures, it is truly wonderful!


I love this Christmas bear so much, it looks so wonderful in the colors of the season, and I saw these Ixoras around, I had to take a picture of the bear in it, and I'm quite pleased with the result! Ixoras are truly amazing flowers I think, they're ordinary but honestly so genuine and pleasant! This is indeed a good prologue to our song of the week, that of course will be around Christmas!
This one was covered by one of my epic favorites, Riley Elmore, and recently released on his Christmas EP! Ladies and Gentlemen: I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm!


Beatifully performed by Riley, this one is not quite known as other Christmas songs, actually it feels more of a song for the Winter season, but anyway, quite fitting regardless, and it's actually one of my favorites too! I first heard the version by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, which is also superb, but I loved that Riley brought this one to his new work, his music selection is really clever and knowledgeable, bringing both classics and more faded pieces of Jazz. His whole EP actually is a lovely addiction to the Christmas season, and for the year in general.
I really love Christmas songs, all of them quite please me a lot! Hopefully this one will bring more to your season, and this month will be filled with different songs for you guys to enjoy here on the blog! This song don't have a Youtube Video yet, but when it does I'll upload this blog with the link to it, plus the link is for Soundcloud, which is free, so it shouldn't be a problem anyway.
The always mind blowing Riley is what we have for today! Thank you so much for being here reading this! You're the very best! Wish you a happy Christmas always and hopefully I'll see you on the next post!
PS: Here's the song by Ella and Louis (on Youtube and Spotify):
