I love this poster!

A notebook is basically the creative equivalent of the NFL jersey you picked up at Macy’s; unless you fill it with a lot of hard work and sacrifices, you’re just a dilettante with poor spending patterns.

(I am so guilty of this. Sigh.)

Two weekends ago in Montreux; was absolutely magical. The sun, the warmth, the water!
Right now though, it’s a shame, we seem to be having the worst spring in “twenty years”, I am told. Rain, rain, and chilly winds. That’s Europe for you? Oh Summer, be better!

Modern ideal is to always to be more ‘oneself’ but why such a mediocre role model, why not try to be Montaigne, Woolf, Churchill?

-Alain de Botton’s Twitter. I just found him yesterday. This is one clever man! Also: “Ashamed and bemused by our own fragility, we consistently underestimate how anxious everyone else is.”

and: “We want our politicians to be at once entirely ordinary and completely exceptional.”

…a genius, I tell you. His twitter feed is inspiring. Go check it out.

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony.

Guinea pigs buried under the April Fool’s joke..

Woke up this morning to 10cm of snow-cover. It’s like nature’s way of saying April fool’s: “thought it was spring did you? Tricked ya!”
Happy April first everybody :)
