corner view ≈ evening

·
i read this book a long time ago. subsequently i saw the film. i cried to both. 
·
basically evening is a review of one woman's life in the latter part of it, hence evening. 
·
i'd love for miss minot to write another book. a little research learns me however she may prefer the life of a wanderer these days. good for her!

drawing | health

mother has repetitive breakfasts, lunches, dinners and suppers year round. she makes jams, grows a tiny patch of vegetables, tends four chickens in the yard for eggs. she drinks coffee, no tea. every evening she munges on a few pieces of fruit. she doesn't drink much, she doesn't smoke. on saturdays and sundays she allows herself sweet treats. that's how mother kept up with her health, for eighty eigth years now. ask her, and she'll give you a different story. but i know: mother knows about health.

ariane came up with quite a fickle theme. i could never have guessed it'd lead me up the parental path... ☻

corner view ≈ lunch

i confess, today i'm winging it. although there've been lunches like these, walking, drinking and eating on the go. bon appétit!

the big {black} book{s} of life

the big black book haunts me, it has been giving me grief. all of the loose snips and smidgens inside have been talking right back, feasting their sorry selves on {unmistakable} urban language. in silent sighs i dare open the heaviest of them all. you know? sometimes all of this paraphernalia just weighs? down. 

so. can i ask? how do you get on with life's trivia, those nostalgic bits and bobs that squeeze ooh's and aah's from yourself and inmates, at the same time cluttering up an overall view? i'm curious to learn about your filing systems! 

corner view ≈ away

the best away is the moment you escape from your own mind, relax and be cool. a dream comes pretty close, and so do moments on pavements, in gardens, on trains. as opposed to the actual goings away, which usually involves packing, the small aways happen every day. a new season to corner view ≈ hello world! ♥ jane's corner view, francesca's hosting.
