one saturday in plainpalais

on a boat

R came for a visit. It was lovely to see him; good chats, beautiful sunny times at the Cottage Cafe, latin rum night, and - of course - making him try on ridiculous(ly awesome) outfits. Melbourne is ready, R. You just have to trust it!

jardins botanique

Tpday we went on a beautiful walk around the botanical gardens, daydreaming about making our own garden in the new house. 

all about knives and guns

Yesterday S discovered a secret park at the Bois de la Batie. So adorable!

spring is in the air

the last snowstorm of the year

It's cold in Geneve, and apparently even colder in NYC, where I am going to on Friday to meet up with two of my favourite girls in the whole world! I hope you are keeping warm and safe and building beautiful philosopher snowmen.

Too late at work again tonight - but now it's over. happy weekend, everyone!

Two snowmen are standing in a field. One says to the other "Funny, I smell carrots too".

Today I went up to the Jura for my first snow of the season. So beautiful! Icicles, frozen ponds, snowball fights, hot chocolates. A perfect sunday.

winter is coming...

I've been fighting it for weeks as the days got shorter & temperatures dropped; but it's time to face reality. No snow yet but coats & gloves & soup weather is definitely upon us: snowmen can't be far behind. Secretly, I can't wait! So many good reasons to stay inside & drink cocoa & knit & cuddle & go tramping in the frozen mountains. 

What do you want to do this winter?

why burn your bridges when you can blow your bridges up?

it's a crime i never told you about the diamonds in your eyes

a plus, a bientot, au revoir, adieu.

Lately I've been feeling sad about all the "goodbyes" I've been saying, instead of seeing 'goodbye' as an opportunity for change, for more "hellos". Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher have a great project on Learning to Love You More for just this problem: Exercise 70. Say Goodbye. Here are some of mine:

What things have you said goodbye to recently?
