Moustache Monday


Okay, let's try this again.
I started this meme in the first place,
it can't be that hard to keep doing it,
for God's sake.

Say hello
to the Moustache Monday
beard edition

Back to school today.
I have to say I don't feel that excited.

Always, Sometimes, Never

The idea for this post is from Here Comes the Sun,
head over there to see Amanda's.

I always...
- sweeten my tea
- mash my potatoes with the fork
- tell little stories to myself before falling asleep
- play with crafting ideas in my head

I sometimes:
- dance around and sing on the top of my lungs when I'm home alone
- bake things just because of the baking, not because I'd like to eat them
- get really sad without any particular reason
- step on the white lines only when crossing the road along a zebra crossing

I never...
- eat blue candies
- skip my daily nap, if I only can choose
- forget to tell people how much I hate sweetcorn
- wash the dishes instantly, which always annoys me later on (like right now...)


What about you?

Dear so and so...

Dear sky,
please don't rain on my books when I bike to the library.

Dear jumpers and cardigans,
It's lovely to wear you again.

Dear former boss from London,
thank you so much for the chocolate you sent me!

Dear burnt orange,
you are my favourite color today.

Dear bargain store,
I would appreciate it so much
if you still had that lovely yellow yarn left.

Dear boyfriend,
I promise I'll sew up your jeans and
finish your new mittens
before it gets really cold.

Dear hand-knitted beanie,
thank you so much for saving this bad hair day.

Dear rich people,
could someone send me money for a hairdresser?

Dear S,
this morning I had my black tea with milk and honey,
and it was oh-so-lovely.
Therefore I'll promise I'll never mock
your tea-drinking habits again!


With lots of love,
Miss Notebook

The best of seasons right after spring



I couldn't fall asleep cause my toes were icy-cold. I tried to snuggle and cuddle up next to him to get warmer, but it didn't help my toes. And because icy-cold toes on your side aren't the nicest way to wake up, I let him be. Gave up and tried to find a pair of knitted socks in our dark bedroom.

I also wore tights today, first time after the end of April. It felt weird. So did the observation I had to close the balcony door at 8 pm cause it was chilly in the living room. For the whole hot summer it's been open day and night. We've also been sleeping with the window open since May. I guess soon we have to close it because of the cool, but I wouldn't like to, because the breath of fresh air has become so good friend of mine. Sleeping without it feels so...airless.

I guess it's official now.
Fall is here.
Welcome friend!

Not the Band Though


I do that too.
Especially on days when I have
to queue at the pharmacist for 45 minutes
with all those coughing grannies
just to get more pills
to get along with my life.

"Yes, I'm perfectly fine.
This is only a placebo."
