It is AMAZING. For the last months I have not written a single word in this blog and have not even had the leisurely time to look at it - and today, as good Sunday morning should be, armed with a lovely and hot cup of coffee and the sun shining into my living room - I go to my handbag and see it is well alive! Actually, we have passed the 10 000 views, which is in itself pretty amazing! You all have been busy looking at my ramblings and I can see on the stats page ( which I LOVE!) that the US, India, South America and even the Far East have been looking on this blog a lot, great fun! Thank you!
The months past have been pretty heavy on my time and mind, but then there are always times in our lives, where everything must be cut down to a minimum to ensure an somewhat essential continuity - anyway, the most important thing is to come out of all chaos more or less alive and perhaps a little bit ruffled, but spirits untamed, unabashed and perhaps, or let us say better, hopefully a bit wiser and calmer.

| I am sitting right here |
Now we are heading once again onto Christmas, the season which every year take you by surprise. I have not yet a picture of the children to send around, and not a single Christmas present. Nor do I have any idea - there is blank void in front of me and the famous list, the children put in the fridge in the kitchen is still empty. I have filled in some stuff, to make them busy: an orchid; Nigelissima's cookbook for the easy recipes therein, in the never dying hope that the children will start to cook them themselves, some "Cresta" chocolate by Lindt - difficult to find her in Belgium, so relatively safe - and which I should not eat, as I have imperatively to lose weight for health reasons, so boring - and perhaps a subscription for english Vogue or Bazaar?
I have to tell you that the latest two editions of English Harpers Bazaar have been super super interesting, with good journalism, wonderful pictures, clever tips on beauty and interiors, people and style. And a clever person writing right now the "Why don't you" page - at least someone with an interest in Culture and Art! Go and buy yourselves a copy ( no, unfortunately I do not get paid, this is free publicity for the damn paper) - but, seriously, I really advise you to have a look at it, I think it might for those last two editions at least be the only really interesting and inspiring fashion magazine there is for the moment - I mean for people like me without loads of money and time but who have to live a real life in the search of Beauty and the Good Life.
That said, once again thanks to you all of you following this little blog. I am really so happy that there are people out there looking at the stuff - amazing.
