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 the first boxes are already on the apartment!

Hello everyone! Good morning and happy Monday! The first proper week of August comes in, it's being a nice month so far, and I couldn't be more happy about the move! Like I said in the title, mom already put the first boxes into the apartment, it's just her pottery stuff, ceramics and so on, I was planning on taking my succulents with me as well yesterday but I decided to wait till the main move, in August 10, like I said before! Or, well, maybe not, maybe I'll take them with me before that, so they can get used to their new place! I don't want to touch my painting material until we get there, and this is giving me quite the artistic anxiety because I can't draw these days, waiting for the big move, this sucks! Well, I already have some plans for new drawings, so that's good, hopefully I'll be able to draw and feel like drawing once I'm there! Expectations are high, though concerns are also a thing, one example: what about in the summer? My bedroom won't have AC, at least mom is not planning on put one there right now, what if it gets too hot? Will I have to purchase a new fan by christmas? Time will tell... My current place gets more wind than my new one... Well, once I'm living there, I'll figure things out. Other thing is streaming, I do plan on streaming once I'm there, I just hope the streambug keep on going on as time goes by, because it comes and goes, once again, once I'm living there I'll figure things out, hope so...


Here's a picture I took close to my new building! If you look carefully you can see the sea in the horizon! It's a nice small set of trees, quite pleasant! The street is quiet and calm, the way I like it, as I come to realize, I love silence! So, this is today's update! Thank you so much for being here, dear reader, hopefully the move will progress even further this week and I'll get to write about it! Much happiness to you!!!!
