Something scary on Halloween

You want to hear something really scary for Halloween?

Almost 29 degrees in my country.

On the 31st of October.

 

But then again, if life gives you good weather, make the best of it, right ;-)

Music 2

And maybe it's time for a music update, what I've been listening to recently:

Piers Faccini - Diamond in the Mine

Gabriel Bruce - All that I have

Gioli & Assia - Eurydice

Yann Tiersen - The Long Road 

Kid Francescoli - Moon

Indochine - Karma Girls

Worakls - Porto

A lot of emotions and feelings in just about every single one of these songs.

Music 1

The music that's playing in shops is usually not quite my cuppa tea. But there were some notable exceptions, as this for example is how I learned about Madrugada or Jardier.

But just the other day I went to my local Decathlon and there it was: Rammstein's Zeit album. 

Now I'm not a huge fan of Rammstein but it's definitely a very different shopping experience when there is loud Rammstein echoing around the aisles :-)

Grown up.

You know you're grown up when you wake up on a Sunday morning and think: "Today is the perfect day to clean the windows."

Yes, I am that old. 

And yes, I did clean them.

Italian lakes

And we were off again.




Sea and ceilings

Well, first of all, I was away. 

The coast was beautiful ...


... but the beaches even nicer when immersed in fog!
 


I've seen also a lot of interesting ceilings. For example one in Batalha:

one in Monserrate:

 
 and another one in Sintra:

Summer is over.

 You know the summer is over, when:

- you have to put on your jeans in the morning. After about four months of wearing skirts, dresses and shorts.

- all the rain that did not fall during one of the driest summers ever, falls down in just one weekend.

- they are shooting Christmas commercials in the park nearby and half of the park is covered with (artificial) snow.

- and yes, I am already assembling material for a possible prototype of this year's Christmas cards.

Yes, summer is definitely over. 

I do owe quite a few updates, don't I?
