My new idea to serve you sometimes just "Snippets" fascinates me.
As before I will write long posts, but more often a short one - sometimes I will serve you a Lungo, sometimes an Espresso. You might want to chat with me, or just enjoy the cuppa in silence.
Variety, change: life is bursting with possibilities.
Whenever you see the photo above it signals: "Snippets". Hope you have as much fun as I!
I like the idea.
ReplyDeleteDear Yale, your comment was the first on my snippet-idea - and it made me smile and encouraged me - thank you!
DeleteWhat is a Lungo Britta?
ReplyDeleteNice pens - I love fountain pens.
Great 'snippet' xx
Oh Mary, I am a victim of the "baristas"! Before their time I just drank a normally-sized cup of coffee, which they call a Lungo - to hide their outrageous price :-)
DeleteYes, fountain pens are something I indulge in - on the photo which I always use for my blog you see "the star": a porcelain fountain pen by Lamy. And in the snippet I adore the tiny Montblanc "Mozart" which is very practical for travel; and the inexpensive rose-gold Lamy was engraved with my name when they gave a treat in Christmas weeks three years ago in the KaDeWe.

An espresso is a perfect metaphor for a snippe!
ReplyDeleteWhen my brain has a sparking idea but I can't get it down on paper, I sit down with an espresso and sharpen the brain. The first few sips of the very hot espresso are the most effective.
Dear Helen, I hope it has same the effect on me!
DeleteI like it very hot too, and very sweet - and if as in fairy tales I have a third wish free: on a terrace in Italy! :-)
I do not know how they do it - their espresso is the best.
Snippet for today - “Don't wait until February to start living in January.”
ReplyDeleteI love that one, Rosemary! I didn't wait, believe me - it was a long exhausting but wonderful day.
DeleteI'm rarely concise.
ReplyDeleteMe neither - as you may have noticed. :-)
DeleteAnd I even often add an "PS", Tasker.
DeleteVariety is the spice of life. Mix it up a bit and discover new pleasures...
ReplyDeleteTrue, Susan, I try to remind that - especially if I feel like getting into a rut . On the other hand I do love some routines.
DeleteThe typeface has changed.
ReplyDeleteYes, Rachel, that is easier to change than oneself :-)
DeleteCourier resembles the type of an old type-writer, thus I thought it adequate.
Love your Snippets accoutrements, Britta. I know what to expect when they pop up now :)
ReplyDeleteAt school I was average at running long distances, but a flop at long jump. I ran - and then, in the attempt to hit it exactly, slightly stopped at the beam where you jump off. Why do I suddenly think of that after my grandiose announcement?
DeleteAnticipation.....
ReplyDeleteDear Joanne, for my part I found out that anticipation very often is the cherry on the torte of life :-)
