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.

Art of the week! In which we talk about the Steampunk Puggie!

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday and good morning! How are you today and how are things going? I do hope all is well and I wish you the best How is the weather where you are? Here it is hot, but luckily I dont feel the heat too much as I have fans by my side, but not everything is flowers in the land of Daniel, I ate too much cake and coffee this morning, I mean, not too much, just two pieces of cake and a mug of coffee, but that was enough to send my stomach to a not so kind place and here I am, feeling like doing nothing for the whole day, barely being able to move to other places as well, to make matters worse I'm struggling a bit with anxiety as well, not too much, rest assured, but just a bit, and I was never good at the breathing exercises my therapist teaches me about, I have plans for the next days, plans that right now are totally out of reach due to my stomach and anxiety, but anyway, I have a good image to share with you guys today! One that looks like it could have gone out my fanfic of Over The Garden Wall! Well, I'd like to present you the Steampunk Puggie (as it was said on the title of this post).


You have this wonderful pug in a zeppelin! He must be going to the land of Socks, or must be going to Christmas land instead! It doesnt matter the place, this Pug has style and I love it so much! Thank you so much pug for giving me something to write about today! Sometimes coffee inspires you, sometimes it betrays you and steal your well being, leaving nothing but an ache stomach and an uneasy feel, I mean, how dare you coffee and cake? You guys are supposed to make me feel good! I really do hope this image helps me write my story, one that I've been wanting to write for a while now, with not even starting, it's a beautiful land with much potential and adventure is out there! Also, I started playing a game yesterday called Frostpunk, it's hard as hell, and it has a steampunk look to it, which is nice, even though like I said the game is super difficult and requires a lot of stuff to get on going! I should write a separate post on this game, or not, it depends on my interest on it, maybe I shouldn't play it though, maybe is not good for my health.... Anyway, this is it for today's post, thank you so much for being here, dear reader, you are the best! See you next time and hurray!
