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...

In Which we pay Homage to the Christmas Fairy

Hello everyone, good morning, and I wish you the best. I feel sad for starting the month of April in such way, it is my fault, I should've written the post earlier, but anyway, something sad happened, the Mrs., friend of my grandma mother of my dad (and also my grandpa father of my mom), that used to make some cakes and used to help grandma decorate her house for Christmas, unfortunately passed away, I don't know the cause, but the fact is that she is not around anymore... Again, I didn't cry, but I can't find the words to describe how unmotivated I am to find out of those bad news. A person that came in the best time of the year and used to transform the house of grandma, unfortunately is gone. So I found only appropriate to call her The Christmas Fairy on the post, it's a nice way of paying homage. Anyway, there is little we can do, just keep the tradition of decorating our houses in that wonderful time of year going forward. And for Easter, Grandma decided to bring lambs to the house instead of bunnies, as she found that animal would represent Christ better.


I understand, even if I miss the colorful stuffed bunnies that would be around. Having the lamb is more appropriate though, I will have to agree with grandma, even if I'll go ahead and have bunnies anyway, I'm not the most religious person around. I offer my prayers and I do believe in God, but it still is something foreign to me. Anyway, overall I'm okay, and glad it is April, I'm glad the new apartment, the one that I'll live on in a bit, is coming together. Easter was fine, I felt a bit odd on my stomach, but nothing that would bring my day down. I didn't have Easter Eggs, unfortunately, but I had some chocolate still, and I love Chocolate! Anyway, I just wanted to say hi to you guys, pay homage to the mrs. that brought so much joy to my life, and next post, that will come soon, hopefully this Wednesday (let's pray for it), I'll talk about April with more detail, just properly say hello to this nice month of hot and wet days, hopefully we can have some cooler ones as well, I can dream, can't I? Well, I appreciate you for reading this, and I wish you the best, as I said in the beginning, see you real soon.
