locked in

Well damn. The lock on my apartment door has given up the ghost. It’s been “sticking” for a while and then today… that was it. It stuck in LOCKED position and Peter couldn’t get in after going upstairs to hang his laundry. Lucky I was home and could open it from the inside. Anyhow, turns out that this isn’t covered under the landlord’s insurance, so we’re going to have to find a hopefully not-too-expensive locksmith to come and replace the lock. Which obviously is a bit more complex than the one in this photo. And since it’s now the weekend gotta wait until Monday or pay exorbitant weekend prices, which means that we are LOCKED IN. Ok, not totally, but only one of us can go out at a time, so there’s someone at home to let them back in. Good times.

night lights

I used to make such a big deal about going to SEE THE LIGHTS. In fact it used to be one of my favourite things. But these past few years I’ve got out of the habit of going out at night unless I’m working. So I just managed to snap this pic on my way to pick up clients… more to come. I hope.

should I…?

silver

Turns out my roots are coming in pretty much white these days (before it was all more streaky brown and grey) so I am thinking of GOING FOR IT and just going silver. I understand it a process and will have to check it out with my guy. But with the alopecia ravaging my head perhaps I’ll also look less BALD if my hair is lighter? Ideally I will end up with my new natural hair colour and then won’t at least have to bother with that any more. What do you think?

today’s grey with… pulleys?

pulleys

Out for a walk this afternoon and noticed for the first time that the gables on one side of The House of My Dreams have these pulleys over the windows. It was suggested that they were used for lifting furniture up to the top floor, except you really couldn’t fit much through those windows. Also, although those rooms are clearly apartments now, back then they were probably used for storage (?) or servants quarters (??). This got me wondering about the history of this house, which is massive. Who was it built for? And most importantly, WHY did they install pulleys over those windows. Enquiring minds want to know.

RAIN

I mean, FINALLY. And man, it’s been raining up a storm. Like this one I got caught out in today on a lunchtime Tapas Tour. This screen grab doesn’t really do the experience justice – you can see the short vid over here… Azahar Instagram.
