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.

In which we say Hello to August!

Hello everyone! Happy month of August! Wish you the best and hope things are going well with you? How is the weather where you are? Here it is cozy and rainy, the way I like it! The sun is shining bright, but on the shadow, where I am, on my apartment, not the new one, the temperature is cold and windy, again, the way I like it! I have a nice wallpaper to share with you guys today in celebration of this amazing month, and also some thoughts and plans for it, not much, but I hope they come to reality! So, let's jump to it, shall we?



I'm excited for August, I must say! This month promises a lot, and I believe it can deliver as well! I mean, I'm really just waiting for the move and my birthday, and I'm sure both things will happen and will be amazing, amazing because I'll have a new room just for myself, which opens new possibilities! I hope to play some Civilization V when I get there, maybe I'll even stream it! I will resume my drawing routine as well, and I'll work on remaking some old drawings, hopefully it will go smoothly... for my birthday I got some plans, I want to chat with a couple of friends, if things go well. I am planning on start my efforts to buy a new phone, I'm planning to go to the mall, but my mom is making it difficult, you know, Corona and all... Well, I hope I get to go there eventually. I'm really excited for my new place. I was very talkative yesterday but today I'm not as much, which is a shame, but well, it's two posts in a row, what did I expect? Less than a day of difference, what could happen in such a short amount of time? It's almost lunchtime, I'm hungry, so I'll leave the post here, but I shall come back soon with more random thoughts and my life as I move! You guys are the best! Love you all, and I see you all real soon! As I will try to keep the posts coming like they were in July! I hope so, at least...
