Time flies so fast and we are now in the middle of May where the Cannes Film Festival is in full swing and there is the Monaco Grand Prix happening soon, But most of all, this is also the month where in France, we have a few holidays in the calendar and some vacation days that need to take before it expires, therefore, a quiet month in the office especially that May 2025 has a lot of faire le pont that we can take advantage of.

The weather is becoming warmer as June approaches, and I look forward to wearing my dresses again. Yesterday, I was at Villefranche sur Mer (photo above), taking a quiet stroll in this little town. Soon, when summer comes, it will be filled with activities and tourists again, and the beaches will be packed with people from anywhere who wanted to soak themselves under the Mediterrenean sun. Such is the life here in the South of France! 😀

Currently

Reading.  a history book about Europe. I’m still at the early days where France is still Gaul, and the German warriors have taken over the Roman Empire.

Writing. None at the moment. But I have a task to create a catalog that I look forward to do later.

Listening. This song “Wild Thing” kept on playing in my mind this afternoon and even made the bf listen to it lol

Smelling. The melting candle wax from my candle warmer lamp in my bedroom

Wishing. For continuous peace of mind that I’m currently enjoying

Hoping. For some things to come to a conclusion.

Wearing. a comfortable house dress lol 😛

Loving. The relaxed feeling after having a herbal tea before going to sleep

Needing. Water. More water. Also, more time to exercise. Sunset comes later now, so I have time to walk and for contemplation and meditation.

Feeling. Relaxed. I need to write some things down to remind myself of something.

Another weekend is ending, and I don’t know who invented this, but why do we only have two days off? The rain is also ending, and I hope the sun will return. I like the rain, but I have many things to do without the rain. The autumn (and the spring) season is my favorite time of the year because the weather is more bearable, and I like wearing coats.

The daylight saving time ended this morning. November is coming soon, and there are a number of holidays in France in the coming month. I look forward to two long weekends, soon.

My mom is currently with me and I took her to Menton last week, as you can see above. Just like the other Mediterranean towns, I love going around the old towns and walking through their colorful history. Menton can easily be reached by train from Nice, and it is near the Italian border.

Currently

Reading.  a silly orange book

Writing. None at the moment.

Listening. Watching Mamma Mia on Netflix and listening to Abba songs

Smelling. The melting candle wax from my candle warmer lamp. I bought mine on Amazon and it looked something like this.

Wishing. For happiness in my life right now

Hoping. It’s a personal thing, but I’m crossing my fingers for this beautiful thing in my life right now.

Wearing. warm clothes ‘aka’ pyjamas

Loving. The thought of going to bed and reading my book after writing this post.

Needing. Water. More water. Also, more time to exercise.

Feeling. somewhat at peace. I just want to continuously smile and feel loved

Summer is Ending (As Far As We Know)

September is here! Last year, summer was extended as it was still warm in September. Some people call it the Indian Summer, and I’m not really sure how did the name come to be. An Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere.

It’s the first Sunday of February 2023. The weather is still cold, and it’s windy tonight. I just finished clearing my kitchen after a light dinner of salad. I told myself I should have heavy lunches and light dinners, thus, the salad. It was only simple: fresh lettuce, red onion, cherry tomatoes, freshly-squeezed lemon drizzled with olive oil, some pepper, and grana padano cheese. It was supposed to be parmesan, but I took the wrong packet in the grocery, hehe 🙂 The vegetables were all bought from the vegetables and fruits stand at the corner of my street.
