In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone. I like this topic, and I love her majesty. Though the late rococo she preferred was hinted with an antique tint, it was not the more sober neoclassical of the 1790's and the Napoleonic era. She brought flowers a...

In which we see a kitten napping in the radiator! And the picture of the Week!

Hello everyone! Happy Monday to you! And good Afternoon as well! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope you are doing fine! I'm having a calm day so far, I watched some The Office, the weather is hot but I have my electric fans, and I may or my not turn the air conditioner on... I'm so tempted to do so, though that wouldn't be wise, or would it be, as the sun is cooking everything under its shines, and talking about air conditioners, I saw a very lovely painting recently, that made me so happy, and that I wanted so much to share with you guys right now! A cat in a Battery (Radiator) by Maria Chepeleva!


This kitten, like me, knows how amazing those devices can be! On a hot weather like mine, living without air conditioning is harsh, and on cold weathers, having a heater has the same effect! Also, how relaxed he sounds, just having his nap, observing the enviroment, he looks peaceful and comfortable! Maybe some human may show up to bother him, but some petting might suit this lovely creature! I loved this painting very much, it is indeed a wonderful one, I love kittens and I love oil painting and I love the wallpaper, how talented the artist is to produce such effects, I'm enchanted! I wish I had a kitten, I can't right at this moment, but I'm slowly feeling more comfortable, and I think when the time comes I'll be able to own a cat and properly take care of him! Giving him healthcare, proper food, love, everything this lovely creature may need. I wish I was in a mood to write something these days, though I'm still tired of that story I finished in 2018, dedicated to Zach, and there's the story I translated on my blog as well, my mind is tired this January, I think it happens, some moments are more creative than others... I will though try to do some poetry, as it's always good, a bit of a small freestyle piece, as I know my limitations. Anyway, on this relaxed enviroment, I also would like to share with you guys the picture of the week! A small world of plants and a really blue sky, one of the only good things that comes with this unsufferable temperature.


It's hard to believe this is just a small picture, bellow it we have a wall and around it just some grass, plants can be find in the other side of the wall, but they're small, the miniature of a forest. Lovely plants those are, lovely leafs! It is an enchanting enviroment, that pleases me a lot! It's nice to return on the routine on my blog, to have pictures of the week and stuff.
I turned the air conditioner on in the end, it cooled the enviroment a lot and it is much more comfortable now, though I may turn it off soon when I start freezing! Anyway, thank you so much for being here and reading this! You are the very best! I'm very thankful for it! This is what we have today on the Divagation Store! See you on the next post! Yahoo!
