All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.  John Stuart Mill 

Berries and jams, cherries and cakes. So much sugary distractions, so much lack of proper action. Must write poems just to say how these sugary days transform and inspire sloth. Hm. Not good. Must do with less of all, less sweet, more fresh.

Summer is everywhere, except for today.. chilly winds arrived. Brr. Come what may! My faithful readings and my notes come back to me in an even more special way than ever before. I’ll tell you more about my current readings soon ^_^

Below: sugary mouthful of berries and cherries to ungloom any cloudy chilly day :)

The method: pick the cherries with love

Divide and conquer (worms aside)

Prepare in style

The finished goodies: “dulceata”, “kompot” and jams.

Conclusion: It’s a great year for cherries!

Note to self: I ate we too much cherries this year.

Pisa is visitable in a few hours, given that the most important site to see is the Pisa tower, the cathedral and the Baptisery. There were many many tourists, all with their arms up, trying to fix the tower in the photos :)

We had pizza in Montino, as recommended on a travel website. Then took the train to Florence.

Discover. Learn. Develop. Imagine. Contribute. Share. Move.

Maybe you encounter these words too often, but why not follow the learning paths and discover yourself more each day, by doing. By pushing yourself. By crossing boundaries. By challenging yourself.
