FRIDAY funny things// lifestyle culture

THE WEEKEND FINALLY!

Fridays are for me Freedom day.... the work week is finally over and I can relax, kick off the heels, and enjoy a drink. Its been an unusually hot spring and the summer it seems will be the same. So naturally it nice to be home and sit outside , light the barbecue and enjoy dinner al fresco.

Its a thing about summertime that reminds me of summers spent in northern Europe, visiting family and spending the summers boating, eating fresh shrimps and mounds of delicious strawberries. A oh so relaxing time. Strolling over rocky coasts, or vast sand dunes that stretched on forever. The long summer nights .......

NORDIC THINGS ... HYGGE , LAX , IKEA

The Scandinavian countries come alive in the summer after the long winters, and it is their love of the outdoors nature and enjoying the small things. No wonder the nordic countries are always top of the list of the best living standards. Life is slower there.

Like the idea or word hygge , its a way of life - or like the saunas that the Finnish people are famous for.

Another more amusing word I recently read about is the Finnish word, PANTSDRUNK - a english translation. It is something the Finnish people enjoy to do after a week of work and in the winters months when it is to cold to go to the local pub. Basically its sitting at home in their undies and drinking beer.... hmmm okay. So whats strange about that?

I can imagine it happens in many places in the world .

So on that note, CHEERS (lemonade) everyone and have a great weekend.

Pockets please!!/ fashion

Well as the title says…. Pocket s please! This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in. Any dress I thought I could use didn’t have pockets for anything. Why??? When I think back there usually were pocket inserts nicely sewn on inside of slacks or dresses. Now you rarely find that . I guess it’s a cost saving , less material needed and no extra time used sewing a pockrr er r in. Maybe it’s to give an outfit a more neat look, no bulging pockets. Meanwhile mens wear there are always pockets. Do you like outfit with pockets?

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people . Festivals , Films and Fashion The festival season is winding down, but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it! The return of Clooney on screen in Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight. Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show! Of course there were other stars on the red carpet but no outstanding dresses . Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not sure what I be tempted to watch. Julia Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment. One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
