Fields of Rye and Cornflowers

I am still feeling rather under the weather, so again my post will be fairly brief! I have seen the lovely photographs of turn-of-the-century rural Russia before but Tiny Happy reminded me of them this morning with a link. This is a field of rye and cornflowers in the early 1900s. Do head over to the link and check it out for yourself - the full image is so lovely (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/russia_in_color_a_century_ago.html)

Thank you so much for all your kind suggestions for battling sinusitis. Much appreciated! Enjoy your weekend.

A brief pause and some bloggy goodness

A brief post today because I have sinusitis and so am feeling a bit sniffly, headachey, ever so slightly grumpy and generally under the weather. I just wanted to mention that the very talented Sefarina over at Windleben is holding a great blog candy raffle of one of her beautiful pieces of art. Head on over and check it out (but please don't win because I want to - haha) -

Brrrrr...Monday Mirth


I have been a little under the weather these last couple of days. I've had long-standing issues with sinusitis and asthma and despite the weather being exceedingly cold and despite the fact that I was already sniffing and sneezing, I decided it would be a very good idea to clean out our very dusty storage space on Sunday morning. Not very surprisingly, within an hour I was sneezing violently and my left eye had swollen up. Brilliant! So Sunday afternoon was a write-off, spent on the couch watching a truly daft Elvis movie and feeling sorry for myself. I felt a little better yesterday but the weather this long weekend just passed - rain, cold winds - has not inclined me to do too much at all. It is 8 degrees (celsius) here at the moment...

But enough of the downer that is winter. The second season of "Flight of the Conchords" started here last night and so I thought I would give you the link to one of my favourite songs of theirs, "Foux De Fa Fa". I mean no disrespect to the French by posting this link. I have been to Paris and it's lovely. This is more about the absurdity of what they teach you at school when learning a foreign language.
