Third blog anniversary give away

Happy Sunday, everyone!

This week I was having my normal routine of work, early Halloween rituals 

(basically consisting on horror movies marathons, book and decor shopping, pie baking...) and my typical seasonal chills, when I suddenly remember this month is 

the third blog anniversary!

I can´t believe I almost forgot about it. Well, I actually do.

Not only because I am really clueless, but also because this week my health is 

playing hyde and seek with me, and I am partially inside my own little bubble...

Nibble, nibble, gnaw, Who is nibbling at my little house?

I don´t know about you guys, but there is something on Victorian houses (specially on little Victorian houses) that makes me think of fairy tales. To be specific, of Hansel & Gretel. 

I mean, yes, I know the witch lived by herself on a chocolate house,

NOT on a Victorian house. Nevertheless, my childish imagination tended

to picture a little cute Victorian house hidden in the forest. I don´t know why exactly was that, but I suppose my grandma´s 1860 house built on the edge 

of the woods had something to do with it.

Of course there was nothing "witchy" about my grannie (nothing of the wicked witch type, anyway). However, for some reason, her house resembled the 

candy house and since that moment, every little Victorian house reminds me of

fairy tales.

What I did in August

I can’t believe it’s been (almost) a month since I last did one of these posts. 

 Another thing I can’t believe: the fact that I’ve kept a monthly series going for a full four months without giving up on it! 

The most remarkble is I am not bored of it at all (and really hope you are not bored either...)

Although August temperatures were quite extreme, I managed not to weaken

and could enjoy great adventures. 

Also, some lovely news made this month the best this year!

In between, this month I...

On Saturn days we used to sleep

For most people Sundays are the typical resting day.
A day linked to late breakfast, newspaper, family lunch and all that jazz.
I share that vission, but Saturdays can be as lazy as Sundays for me.
The reason is simple: I am quite lazy homely myself.

The zombie diaries

I am quite sure you already noticed I had a hard month due to job reasons, as I would not stop complaining about it here, here and here.

Yes, I know, I can be a little very annoying when I am tired.

Specifically, I tend to become a small child even under the slightest sleep deprivation.

 And no, I am not exagerating.

I DO mean it.

Engaged

I turned thirty-one last Monday and I am glad to say I got formally engaged the same night too. 

As you already know if you read this blog on a regular basis, 

I am currently living in Bucharest for professional reasons, which means this year 

my usual extravagant party was replaced by an apparently nothing-out-of-the-ordinary dinner with The Gentle One.

Or so I thought.

What I did in July

After my trip across Europe last month (yes, the one that lasted just six days 

in real time, but which seems to have wore away six years in blog time) and its consequent post saga, my electronic agenda 

rang to let me know it is time for another monthly roundup (already?!) 

I have no idea how this month flew away so fast, but I suspect it has something to do with my current zombie condition, 

derived from the fact I must wake up at six o´clock in the morning. 

EVERY DAY.

The Dresden files

Due to the lack of new weekly adventures and spare time for job reasons lately, I´ve had a hard time to post here.
Nevertheless, I could find a little gap to write this post earlier today, and want to share with you the continuation of my European tour saga, featuring Dresden and Karlovy Vary in this ocassion.

Plague on Prague

Unfortunately, good things do not last forever and of course Summer holidays are not a exception. 

After a deserved three weeks break, today was my first day back to work (and the messy real world), so I thought bringing you some more impressions about my trip would probably improve my mood. So here you have the second part of my European tour series, featuring Prague this time.

Viena, baby

Hi everyone! I am back after a week of exhaustive and unforgettable travelling.

My European tour consisted on a crazy roadtrip, including: Budapest-Vienna-Prague-Dresden-Karlovy Vary-Konopiste-Brno-Bratislava-Budapest, so as you can figure out I am less than a shadow of myself at the moment. Nevertheless, it was TOTALLY worthy, and I can´t see the moment of travelling abroad again!
