PARIS GREY

I may not be visiting Paris anytime soon,

but I now have a Paris grey table.
Chalk paint was a nice experiment,

fast-drying,

no headache-inducing odours.


I said goodbye to my regular morning job

a month or so ago,

& I'm  in the honeymoon stage

of being a full-time freelancer & free spirit.

Getting to paint a table,

 sort a cupboard,

pop over to pilates

in between jobs

in the middle of a quieter day

if I so wish. 

If you fancy a virtual escapade to Paris,

you can pop over here.

TENDER

It's Friday,

and I'm indulging in

a spot of uninterrupted time

& this tender August light.

By now, the late summer light has come to its senses

even in the land of the midnight sun -

it knows how to dim down for the evening

for curling up with a book.

Perjantaina herkuttelen 

omalla ajalla

& elokuun hellivällä valolla,

joka ymmärtää kuitenkin 

illalla hämärtyä

kirjan kanssa käpertymistä varten.
