a dark, drab and dreary sunday spent indoors? appealing! daring yourself into trailing off somewhere, on a whim? yes, please.
·
i decided the latter before the rains came. and they came.
·
·
i rushed to a walloon cafe where i whiled for an hour, calling for a de beauvoir moment (in the form of prolific contemporary equivalent jc oates}, all through a fiery red apéritif and a hot, hot homemade soup.
·
·
here i sat, looking, listening, writing*, waiting, for my train to hurry me back home. ha! home.
·
now for that sunday spent indoors! and would you believe the sun is shining again... ☻
·
there's more, as usual.
·
·
* if you want to find out what i've been writing, or if you feel you have an itching editing ambition, or if you happen to know someone who has (and who would like to lend a critical eye), please let me know. i am in need of splendid grammatical (and probably composite) dissection.
·
if you do, drop me a line. i'll elaborate.

my sunday was cold and dreary too. I wasn't daring enough to get out though.
ReplyDeletehappy week.
Similar motions, indeed.
ReplyDeleteyou did take quite a lot of photos though. Love the one of the croissants ... mmmmm :) Happy start of the week Nadine.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs on flckr are really good Nadine!
ReplyDeleteAnd I adore your writing ( the one I get the chance to read here at tinywoolf ) The sence of humor in it - slightly selfirionic- or maybe that's how I receive it.. But in any case I am not the one to give you an advice. I simply enjoy you writing : )
elke keer word ik weer blij
ReplyDeleteals je een post maakt met een link
naar al die andere foto's die je ook nog maakte
dan reis ik een beetje met je mee
en de ramen!
ja ik loop een beetje achter
wat fijn, wat fijn!
dag Nadine
een fijne week gewenst
