In Which we have the Opening of November! Christmas 2025, the one of uncharted territory

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of the present post! I of course wish you a happy Saturday, as November arrives also. I can also say happy belated Halloween! I wish I could have written something for the ocasion, but I was busy for the most of yesterday. I am not sure if I mentioned it, but I was at the glorious mall, that happy place that I don't see it often enough. The occasion was to fix my phone by replacing its battery. This device, the iPhone 11, was purchased in February 2022, so it is close to its 4 years of existence in my hands. Everything still works as intended, except for what does the biggest traction, which is the battery. As such, it had already lost most of its working capacity, and was not doing its things appropriately. There goes I, then, to replace it. Though I do appreciate the shopping halls, I must take care as I am on a budget, in any case, I would be lying if I said it wasn't a bit of a gross misadventure, for the most part.

Art of the Week! In which we talk about Expectations!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday to you and good Afternoon! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope all is well! How is the weather where you are? I hope things are fresh and soft, as here the sun is cooking everything it can touches! I'm having to be careful not to struggle too much indeed. Wish the weather could be fresher, like the painting I'm about to share, that sounds filled with longing and desire, here we have Expectations by Sir Lawrence Alma Tadelma.



I saw this painting and thought it could be a really good one to share, as I love it so much, by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, the level of details is insane, as you can feel the wind on her hair, the coldness of the sea and of the stone. The girl here, sitting in the marble sofa, waits for her love, that comes from the ocean, flowers come to comfort her, even if she’s full of hope. Sounds like a wonderful place to wait for your loved one indeed. On this scenario fit for Rome or Carthage. It's also amazing how her dress fits the landscape and the sofa, complimenting it. I shared it on my Instagram a while ago with a caption similar to this one, but I made some changes here so I could share it on the blog. I hope the wind is fresh for her, and I hope her loved one may come, and the sun is gentle also.
There's a lot I want to do today, make some drawings, writing on the blog, I havent drawn properly for a while now, and this sucks, hopefully that will change soon when I'll make new drawings that I'll be satisfied about, it is a process indeed... I also want to enjoy my new laptop though, so is the struggle to keep everything balanced!
Well, this is it for today, just this painting by this amazing artist! Wish you the best dear reader, and you are the best! See you again next time, have an excellent weekend.
