Ahoy polloi (an island for the masses)

[Mariapia]

Helloooooooooo ladies!!!!!!
Sorry, I have dropped from the planet.
Visited my sister and saw tons of old colleagues and friends the past days and never had a second for myself. But, it was HUGE fun.

I know I left you hanging.... here is the bag that
- went with me to my old working place (we saw the elevator, but did not use it)
- went with me to the Irish Pub to meet a colleague who worked with me for the jerk and who is leaving, too
- saw the dentist
- made a picknick at the park
- had a fun happy hour at my sister's favorite tapas bar
- went shopping and to the steak house
- and experienced a hot ride on the train out of hell (I am not missing those rides).

My forest green Aphrodite from Massaccesi.

Your Massaccesi Aphrodite is a wonder, Ludmilla. I love green forest and the leather looks amazing!
Congrats on your purchase!
I am glad you are enjoying yourself and feeling great.

Green! Smooshy!
WINNER!!!
Already, this lovely bag is adventuring=excellent choice.

PS: blood tests were good. I am one healthy islander.

I think my circulatory system pumps a more caffeinated brew.
But I might live anyhow.
Glad you are well.

 

[remainsilly]

Ah, islanders.
I did a thing.
And may own new sling bag.
Because love crazy bird logo, on osprey stuff.
And the new travel pack is sooooooo nice. To pack/unpack/repack repeatedly. As I consider weather in Scandi-land.

You are too kind.

Hehe.
The bag has a good size. Not too big for adventures.

We need to see your new sling bag of course! I am glad that you like your new travel bag. And I am pretty sure that you will pack just the right stuff for your trip.

Huge disappointment on my side of the island. It is raining cats and dogs today. This is very unfortunate, because the daughter of our rich neighbour (the one with the huge park that I could watch from my roof windows) is marrying today. Planned was a party in the park and I thought that I could spend some fancy hours watching them. Pretty clothes and stuff like this. They informed us that there will be fireworks in the night, but I wonder if it is not too wet for this, too.
Booo!

That stinks Ludmilla. We’re supposed to get a terrible rain storm tonight.

On the upside miss 17 and I went to the thrift and scored awesome denim and 2 maxi dresses. Yayy! Love the thrift

Oh, I hope the storm will turn out not too bad. Stay safe!
I need to check out thrift stores at the huge city. I know that there are some that sell designer stuff. And I want to see the non designer thrift stores, too. It is so nice that you and DD had a successful day.

Oh! Exciting - when will you be leaving?

How was the wedding?

Oh! Love thrifting!
Right now I am getting free furniture. Unbelievable what people give away for free. Happy to get furniture like that so i don’t have to buy it right now. Today I got 3 vintage chairs from 1950 in excellent condition. As well as two Ikea wardeobes, an Ikea shelf and two glass tables.
Downside is that I have to carry it myself. But at least I help to reduce waste!

So good when a bag plan works well!

I never could be trusted to design custom stuff. Imagine tragedy with a messenger strap.

Thanks. Will photo later.

Psychic silly predicts fireworks.
Your watching idea sounded so fun. Sorry rained out.
Maybe they will do another event soon?
Bride will be devastated.

Hooray, thrift store clothes!
Mine suffer tragically, being worn. So spending $5 on pants is a godsend.

Oh! Exciting - when will you be leaving?

Omg, next weekend. After my bike race.

Great furniture score!
So nice when universe helps us along in tough times.
Good ol' universe. Often helps me, too.
How will you move furniture?

New osprey daylite sling(6L) & acrylic knit beanie:

Awesome bird logo!
Smaller/lighter weight than my patagonia atom sling.
Bit different pocket arrangement & no exterior gear/cinch straps.
Front zip pocket has nice, breathable fabric panel.

Pacsafe crossbody still wins, for trip.
Will take osprey hat.
Patagonia sling won for morning's ride:

When one of my friends moved into her house I learned about the fact that many gift old furniture. She got a very pretty wooden cupboard for her living room for free.

Yes, I think the bride was not too happy. They had a huge tent and all, but could not use the park.

We say the same.


The fireworks was spectacular! Much better than the usual fireworks on New Years Eve. Wowzers.

Oh! Have a great trip!

Have my mini car. Ikea is fine because can be deconstructed!

Have so much help! I am overwhelmed- even my Ex‘s friends help me. Thank you! Yes universe helps out at the moment big time!

I’m so happy for you about the furniture!

Thank you! Feel blessed

It was raining on my wedding day. So no, not true.
