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.

In which we play Uno! - or is it You Know?

Hello everyone! How are you today and how are things going? Good morning and happy Wednesday of the month of February, that one between January and March! I wish you the best, and hope all is well! So, how is the weather? Here it is cloudy, but don't let that deceive you, because it is hot either way, oof to that I must say, quite a bother, but I have two fans with me and they help me with the heat, I also showered, that helps too. I have pilates today as well and this is not one thing I'd say Hurray to, but it is what it is, I have to at least do one exercise so I can say I'm doing one at least! I'm thinking about getting a pilates closer to home, that would be great, or at least in theory, if I could choose I wouldn't do anything at all, I hate exercising, SO MUCH, but here we are, you can ignore reality, like I try to do sometimes, but you cant ignore the consequences of ignoring reality, my grumpy pal Ayn Rand would say, and she's right, and the reality is I'm fat and have health issues because of it, so I should eat less and better, and do at least one exercise twice a week, in order to keep on going, so it goes, my friend Bludo is always pushing me to go even beyond that, to go on walks, he's quite a pal of mine, like him a lot, even if it gets annoying from time to time, and in consequence I get stubborn and ignore his advices... SO, In other news...
I played Uno with my friends this Monday, my friends Ivan and Ethan, it was awesome, I bought Uno back in Friday of the last week, in my bad stream, and had my first match with my two pals this Monday and it was super doper crazy! They are meanies though and the bullied me in the way I say Uno (You Know) and they didn't let me win, not a single time! Just because I was streaming, they were determined to stop me from beating the game like I was suppose to, like come on guys, give me a chance! Was awesome though, the time we spent together, and I'll never forget this nice moment and I love both very much, well, if I ever do forget, here's a post about it so at least others can read and see that I had a good time with my two friends Ivan and Ethan!


So, as I always like to have images on my posts, here's one of the wreckage of Titanic, one of the most sad events of the 1910's apart from the World War, of course. The lost of this treasure of Architecture, interior design and technology, is never to be underrated, alongside everyone who met their destiny on this tragic event, I should do a more detailed post on it, but for now, Pilates is about to start, see you next time my friend! Happy Wednesday and a good Afternoon to you!
