Far from the madding crowd

Far from the madding crowd / Thomas Hardy

Waiting for my second child to be born and while my hormones were making my mood tango, I chose to watch “Far from the madding Crowd”, not knowing that it was based on a novel. Something intrigued me with this movie {was it the performances, the scenery, the fact that it portrays women with a male-dominated feminism (???)}, so I decided to buy the book. The way Thomas Hardy writes is sensational. It engrosses you right from the first paragraphs.

Greek Christmas Recipe - Melomakarona

Easy recipe for the traditional greek pastry

Melomakarona is probably the most popular christmas pastry in Greece. The word in greek means "spaghetti with honey" but of course it has nothing to do with what you are going to eat.

Life is like a camera.

Make a nice album out of your life

Do not give in...

Do not go gentle into that good night

Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

A honeymoon worth remembering

Cuba

It's 21:00 on a Monday evening 7 years ago. My husband and I are ready for our honeymoon the next day. We also are going to move out when we return, so our apartment is full of boxes. We are waiting for a phone call from the traveling agency, to give us information about the procedures. They had told us they would give us a call until 20:30. So -under my pressure, I always worry about this kind of staff- my husband called them again. No answer. We were worried to death. Called again...no luck. Finally, since we had booked the tickets through a rural agency, we managed to find the owner's home number (the second number under the same name on the catalogue was his cousin's home!) After a series of apologies and since we made clear it was actually a honeymoon trip, he informed us at 22:30 that we should be at the Athens' National Airport at 05:30, where we should look for mrs X, near the abroad check-ins. And yes, we made it! Took off from Athens and after a stop in Paris and a 10hour flight from there, we landed in La Havana, Cuba.

Goodmorning

I wish to you a sincere and positive good morning. Beauty lies within the small and trifles!

Time to relax

Relax you guys!

There are periods in my life that things get so hectic, I feel that time isn't enough t do the basics, let alone relax. You see, I am a working mother. I have to babies. A 3,5 year-old Tasmanian devil and a 1 year-old Tasmanian devil-to be. I have a 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier (Tasmanian devil). I work in a hospital. Shifts. Weekends. My husband on shifts and weekends, as well. We cannot afford a nanny and our parents live far away. Some days we just meet at the door passing the car-keys to the other one's hand and giving a quick kiss. "Call me"!
