Petain Road

As my little island home has in the recent years been displaced by newer buildings, it's heartening to find pockets of beautiful architecture that must have been around for a while. A little online search and I found I was not the only one to discover this place - more nicely put together details here

Poppy seed cake X Diptic

My Turkish friend told me about a cooking class held at the Turkish Cultural Centre and I signed up pronto pronto. His wife was the teacher of this amazing poppy seed cake topped with Turkish cream. I liked it so much that I thought I would give it a spin in Diptic - it's a great app to play with.

Oh Yes - Charles Bukowski

oh yes
by charles bukowski

 there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realise this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than

too late.

The Blue Fox by Sjorn

'The burden that is borne well becomes light'

- Ovid 

Jerome's got a book that I picked up to read myself. Seems like my brother has pretty good taste in books. This one is by Icelandic author - Sjorn. Wish I knew how to put that tick above the o. In any case, it's the kind of book that makes you get the story only a while after you have finished. 

Apart of the fantastic cover design (looks much better in print), I like the quotation by Ovid.

Whole lot of Necking

By Danielle Kroll

One of the most talented artist by my personal standards. When I get my own little pad, I shall dedicate one or more walls to her prints. This one for sure is going up - love everything about it.
