Once upon a time....

a

 
Long long time ago, in a far away galaxy I used to be blond...and I used to have a wonderful tan...Speaking of the devil, today I realized that I have lost my summer tan (kind of late for that but I do live in Mediterranean)...  While browsing some old photos I remembered a perfect one day trip to the most unique island in the Adriatic. The shirt I'm wearing on this photos I painted (with fabric colours) long time ago. I bought it in Benetton I think and the jacket as well....and here is my word of advice: You need to have a business suit in your closet no matter how young/old you are. It will always come in handy, trust me:)

DOCTOR FISCHER OF GENEVA OR THE BOMB PARTY BY GRAHAM GREENE

Image
In this post, I shall review Doctor Fischer of Geneva or The Bomb Party , a novel by Graham Greene, an English novelist. Published in 1980,   Doctor Fischer of Geneva or The Bomb Party could be described as a psychological thriller. It was adapted to film in 1984, and was at that time the most expensive television film shot in Britain. I have not seen that adaptation, so my review today shall focus solely on the novel. I acquired the copy of this novel in a somewhat secret antique shop in Split (that is basically more of a basement with books, but it is very cool). Having read Green before, my expectations for this novel were high. Were my expectations met? You will find out soon enough. This was my second novel by this writer. The first novel of his that I read was The End of the Affair .  Greene was a prolific novelist, and many of his novels were adapted to screen, starting with Stambul Train that was adapted as Orient Express. The End of the Affair was adapted to fil...

A BLUE REVIEW OF TIGANA, A FANTASY NOVEL BY GUY GAVRIEL KAY

Image
What kind of a review is a blue review? Well, as the colour would suggest, somewhat of  a  melancholic and sad one.  I would say appropriate for Tigana is somewhat of a sad and serene story. That's how I remember this fascinating fantasy novel by Guy Gavriel Kay. Published in 1990, this fantasy novel that explores identity and politics remains relevant for our times. The Winner of Aurora reward, this novel still has a lot to offer. As the Summer has just given way to Autumn, some of us might be in a somewhat blue, pensive, thoughtful and meditative mood. Simply perfect for a novel like this one. This transitional period is always an interesting one, and I do not just mean the often unpredictable weather forecast. In many ways, this transition between Summer and Autumn can be an inspirational and exciting one. When it comes to fashion and art, we might find inspiration in many ways. Why not use the change of seasons to inspire us, both in sense of fashion and other aspects...

BLOGGERS ART GALLERY

Hello dear visitors and readers. Today I'm really excited to join in the Bloggers Art Gallery link up. Kezzie is the organizer and you can find her blog  here .  As some of you already know, I'm blessed to own a lot of beautifully framed oil, watercolour and acrylic paintings. As a hobby artist myself, it gives me great pleasure to have so many paintings on my walls. I don't have a single poster in my home, it's all real art, my walls are all just: canvas after canvas!  My husband is very emotionally attached to my paintings (particularly to boat paintings) so he rarely lets me sell them. However, I do sometimes sell my art. Sometimes I'm the one who wants to keep it.

A SUSTAINABLE BACK TO SCHOOL- A SUMMER DRESS IN SPLIT

Image
 Hello everyone! Happy Back to School! With the start of September, I always feel like a new year is starting. For us educators it means the beginning of A Brand New School Year! However, it is not a phenomenon that only students and educators experience. With the end of summer vacations and holidays, many are starting to gear up for work and embrace new projects. Seminars and conferences are being sold out, people are making gym appointments, taking on new hobbies and so on.  There is this atmosphere of a fresh start.  Whether you're returning to work or school, you can probably feel that 'back to school' atmosphere. I suppose in a way we are all students in the school of life. Every year is a new opportunity for learning. I wish everyone all the best in this new school year, whether it is attending the school of life or a regular educational institution.  Summer is not over yet, but the end of Summer is in the air. Officially Summer will be over on the twentieth of...
