Another friday of a very busy week. Days go by so quickly, and I've got the feeling that my to-do list is growing with every second, I need more time! I'm the kind of girl (or maybe woman?) that wants everything at the same time. So this is me most days when I get home:
;-)
Sometimes I just need to stop and take a deep breath, maybe just dream for a while. And watch videos like this one (you now in this blog we are a little in love with the north countries)
Now he is doing Kilian's Quest and it's amazing!! If you want to know more about his adventures, just google him and you'll see some incredible videos like this:
And speaking about mountains and landscapes, I want to show you these beautiful photos made by the photographer Enrique Pacheco. You can find more here.
Lately I've been stumbling upon some stunning videos. I think I might share them, because we all need some inspiration these days, a little bit of magic.
I am sooo tired and it's just Wednesday! Holidays are far gone and I'm back with my daily routines, back with courses and projects. I'm looking forward to many of them, like restarting my yoga classes and belly dancing, but on the other hand it's hard to see so many dates on the calendar occupied after weeks of calm...
Mhmm and now I have to talk about books, right?
"Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy.
He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling
graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian
who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead.
There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy-an ancient
Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an
abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family. . ."
What to say about Neil Gaiman? He is a genius! I loved reading this book even though it's not a new Coraline. But it recreates the same atmosphere: children, dark scenes and supernatural characters. It was fun and I truly enjoyed all the little adventures.
Today you can choose between to songs, depending on your mood. I've fallen in love with this version of "I follow rivers", an original song by Lykke Li, now covered by Triggerfinger. Delicious!
The second song is chosen by Marina, a classic by Gossip.
As Marina said a few days ago, these last days of summer are a treasure. Time to share sweet moments with family and friends, to enjoy the nice weather outdoors before the autumn cold arrives. Bye bye summer days. Fall is knocking at my door, and I'm so happy ;-P
I'd like to explain you what my loved catalan people did last Tuesday. One and a half million people took to the streets of Barcelona in the greatest demonstration in the history of Catalonia with unanimous demands for independence, with the main theme "Catalonia, new state of Europe". This event brings in serious danger territorial integrity of Spain, as it is very clear that most of the Catalan people, after more than 300 years under Spanish rule, wants to be a free country with an independent state. The fear of the Spanish Government has been demonstrated in an attempt to hide the huge media event, despite the coverage in international media.
I love to eat at my parents house garden, it's my favorite thing to do in summer. Having lunch or dinner, it doesn't matter, but being all my family together. Summer in Lleida is very hot, but these days the weather is sweet and autumn cold hasn't arrived yet. I hope we can stay together ten thousand summers more!
Today is a special Monday here in Catalunya. Tomorrow is a festive day, la Diada. So for us, this Monday feels like Friday. To celebrate I want to share with you the newest song by Muse, Madness.
Mònica talked to me about the blog Some Chic Stuff, a blog full of wonderful ideas and inspiration. There's a bit of what we love: crafts, recipes, inspiring ideas, fashion ... a perfect mix! They are preparing a course of “Agulla Màgica” (I think in English is “Magic Needle…”), a new concept (for me at least) that seems interesting. We are planning to join this course where they will teach us about what kind of materials and type of stitches can be made with this needle (I'm curious to know why it’s called "magic"). I think it’s a very good idea, to spend a morning sharing with others who love crafts, learning new things!
Here is the link of this super blog (its' in spanish), maybe you want to come with us! Oh, and here are some cool examples of what can be done with the mega magic needle!
It's Friday and here's a new edition of Links Loved, have fun!
My in-laws are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary (yeah, 50th!!). We've been planning some little surprises for them, and one is inspired by this idea. It's been a lot of work but so hilarious!
Here you have another example. Five guys repeat the same photo for 30 years. It's amazing to see how they're changing, and also it is very heartening to see a friendship last for so many years!
Now it's time for some videos. This one is stunning.World champion freediver Guillaume Nery special dive at Dean's Blue Hole, the deepest blue hole in the world filmed entirely on breath hold. It's not filmed in real-time, but he can keep respiration for 7 minutes!
Today I want to let you some photos that talk about the present and the past. These photos by Tom Hussey have something special, something that makes me feel kind of sad. Maybe the color, the situation... How do you feel about it?
It seems that fall has come to our city, great! Last Friday I went to the beach with some friends and Saturday night, back to the city, we went to the "Nit Sonora". Is a little annual festival of electronic music in our city. The greatest thing is that the stage is right here:
