In Which Gardening Will Not Redeem Diocletian

Good morning, my friend! I am fighting against the desire to sleep, as I do want to write a post today. My eyes are so heavy, my muscles are all failing, it is like I am going to explode in exhaustion. And yet, maybe it isn't sleep, it could be anemia in any case, I hope you are in a healthier position than me, today? Of course, do let me know. And also, let me know how is the weather? Here it is one day of mild winter, which is so much appreciated. Fun how just being some centimeters in a different direction, concerning the planets, can make a difference! Here, it means the difference between a scorching day, and a more mild one. There could be influence of the ocean currents as well, but anyway, I would love to jump to today's theme, that motivated me to write. If you allow me, let is jump to it! As I mentioned anemia, let us turn to gardening, or more specifically, to cabbages and lettuces. I saw a post today that pointed that Emperor Diocletian abdicated the throne to go ta...

Album of the month! In which we talk about the Superb Christmas Record by Hannah Huston!

And here I am again! With the album of the month! But for the ones dropping by right now: hello to you! And welcome! Wonderful to have you here and I wish you the best!
So, going back to the album of the month, today I listened to the new christmas album by an artist I've been a fan and been following since 2016, Hannah Huston, that I first heard of on the 10th season of The Voice. It is simply SUPERB! I'll just go ahead and share the link to it right now and then talk about it, so you guys will have an idea of what I'm talking about...


First of all, the title of the album is really wonderful, and it delivers what it says: Believe in Christmas. Believe on this wonderful holiday, on the magic of it. After listening to the superb voice of Hannah, so hard to define because it is just so spetacular, please believe me, it is spetacular, it is hard not to believe in it. Featuring many known christmas songs, she brings her immense personality to it with blues, jazz, soul, that even evocates the name of another wonderful soul artist that I met on The Voice: Michael Sanchez. After listening to that, and knowing the similar background of Michael and that he also has work on Christmas, I wonder how spetacular it would be for them to have a song together, that would shatter earth, that is for sure! But coming back to Christmas and Hannah, this is indeed an album that caught my attention way too much, going beyond Christmas even, it's quality work for its diverse rhythms, for the hard to believe voice of Hannah, her great approach to classics of the season, truly some album that has the power of improving days. This is indeed quality work, and I couldn't recommend it enough for you guys! If you guys want, go give it a listen and I think there's a good chance you won't regret!
And for today this is it! Thank you so much for being here! Wish you the best and happy December for you!
