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 talk about my walks this week!

Hello everyone! Good evening and Happy Friday! And here I am again! Writing a post on this blog I'm determined not to let it die! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope all is well with you, today and in the week! How is the weather where you are? Where I am the day started with a delicate veil of clouds covering my neighborhood, protecting me from the heat of the sun, but it wasn't to last, the sun returned and the heat came with it, lots of heat, hot hot and hot, I miss the rainy days, the true rainy days of Winter, lovely winter! It shall arrive, eventually, but while we wait, we shall survive the heat of the sunny days of February, good news is that March is coming, and with it fall season, I hope, let's see how it goes!
So this week I went on three walks, at least so far, today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, the week is not over, but well, so far so good, three walks, two on my neighborhood and one in the neighborhood of my grandparents, I was encouraged by my friend Blud to do so, I should have gone to pilates as well, but I didn't go unfortunately, as I overslept in the afternoons of Monday and Wednesday, the days of my pilates. This tuesday was a mess for me in the end, as I spent most of my day at the doctor's office, went home and got stressed over some stuff, Wednesday was slightly better, as far as I remember, I mean, it started off in a bad way but it improved, and this Thursday was fairly enjoyable, even though I had to face some frustrations of the previous days. Well, I went on three walks, the first on Monday, the second one on Wednesday and the final one, so far, on Thursday, it is quite nice how those walks tell a bit about my life as I write about them, I also wanted to share a picture I took with you guys, maybe you'll like it, let's jump into it! Important to say, I love Coffee, I drank two mugs of it today even!


I took this one when I reached a dead end on the neighborhood, next to the house of my grandma, I took a picture of the infinite sky with hints of a tree filled with fruits, as it goes, the sky is in a deep shade of blue, of course, as it was expected from Summer, I never said it wasn't beautiful, just really annoying, plus I think cloudy days are quite beautiful as well! So, on my neighborhood, I went for 5 walks on my neighborhood, and on the one of my grandparents, just one, but quite a big one I'd say! And well, this is it for today, just a small post talking about the weather, my favorite topic! Thank you so much for being here dear reader, means a lot to have you here, you are the best! See you next time and good night!
