I know I went a bit MIA since my laptop was stolen, but that’s only because just a few days after the unfortunate event I went for a little trip with Pyke, Kohana, Lumo and Talamia. I also had the pleasure of meeting lovely Jeckyl. I believe that all will be forgiven when you see the result of the trip. Excited is not the right word for what I feel about it. It’s more like ecstatic times 20.








We spent three days in a lovely and odd little town called ‘Parys’. I totally milked the name and kept telling people that I’m going to Paris. I must admit, that was mostly because I couldn’t pronounce the name of the place properly, but whatever. The place is tiny, with literally one main road with a few side roads branching off, but it is filled with awesome antique shops. There are literally at least 10 of them. The best one was massive, the size of a warehouse, and filled with all kinds of wonders. I got myself a 4th edition of J.E. Taylor’s ‘Flowers’ from 1906. It’s not worth much, but the cover is really pretty and I just adore the smell of old books.












Besides talking a whole lot, shooting, eating and drinking, we also did a bit of trespassing. We needed a spot to light lanterns on our last evening, so a random field and a bit of sneaking was necessary. We had to get away from the houses, in case any of our lanterns decided to just randomly drop from the sky and set stuff on fire. The photos that Talamia took that night are amazing, but you’ll have to wait a little bit to see those, as my phone’s camera is pretty much useless in the dark. I do, however have a few photos of the same field from early in the morning. It was as beautiful as it was full of cow poop, and it was cold as hell, but beautiful nonetheless.






We also stirred quite a bit of trouble with the local wildlife, what with feeding the birds and watching them fight over bread (bets may or may not have been made), feeding the monkeys and stray cats, but at least they were all fat and happy while we were there. I also suspect that the cats weren’t stray, just greedy little buggers, but they were too cute not to feed.




Oh, and I present you the amazing, incredible Super Lumo!



Anyway, I’m back and I’ve got a laptop that I can use, so things are more or less back to normal. Things are happening again and that’s making me extremely happy.

P.S. Americans, happy belated Thanksgiving!

P.P.S. Please go say hello and give a warm welcome to a gorgeous new Croatian hopeful Ahry. She's a total sweetheart and she's got an amazing set coming up in February.
