August in pictures
I was on a blogwalk when I saw James’ post: August 2025 in Photos and you can rest assured that I’m berating myself for not thinking about it and got myself in my usual what-should-I-blog limbo. Last month, we had an early morning rainbow — and more rainbow sightings for the next couple of days,…

“Arsène Lupin: Gentleman Burglar” by Maurice Leblanc
“What a pity that I am not an honest man! Yesterday, I just finished reading “Arsène Lupin: Gentleman Burglar” by Maurice Leblanc.

It was midnight, and Ari already fast asleep, but he…

I passed my driving exam!
I mentioned here that one of the things I wanted to do, and passed, is learning how to drive. I couldn’t drive, and there were times I wished I could. I remember when Rey was still a baby, and she got a fever. It was midnight, my husband was out of town for a business…
