Confetti Leaves

November’s running, running, running, as Beyoncé would say :) I’ve my blog kind of deserted, i just publish some photos and don’t take the time to write some words down. We’re here, but we aren’t. My in-law’s have some houses for rent and one of them’s empty for this month, so we’re living a parallel life in the south of Brussels, doing the same things we do at home (walks, laughs, readings and discovering new places) but displaced. We come home regularly but it’s so, so chaotic in here that this will be the last week with our lives divided between 2 places. I need to rest. That said, we’re loving our 2nd neighborhood, not in real woods but with lots of trees.

Week Delights

In the most windy days people get strange and accidents happen in a greater assiduity. The trees are almost naked and sky looks prettier (not retouched photo!!!)

I love to share with you interesting reads, and this week i read about nanoparticles and their toxicity, altering the DNA and suspected to be carcinogenic. You can type nanoparticles+toxicity in google and you’ll find lots of articles about it. It’s scary because they’re everywhere, in clothing, yogurts, dentifrice, cars,…

Yesterday we went to the swimming pool and they had a very steiner-y autumn-winter table

I listened to this song on repeat this week, an amazing version of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black by belgian Oscar and the Wolf+Tsar B from School is Cool (with a beautiful voice, very close to Björk).

I’m joining Suzy Mae.

El clima està siendo màs que clemente y los bulbos aûn nos regalan hermosas flores. Ayer salimos a hacer nuestra ûltima colecta de nueces. Bajo el nogal, ya desnudo, un espeso manto de hojas nos puso difîcil la tarea, pero en realidad las nueces eran la excusa para disfrutar de los confettis de hojas, como a ella le gusta llamarlas.

Week Delights

After a few days spent on a kind of holiday in the south of Brussels I missed my little space on the web, and other’s too.

I watched loads of documentaries this week; one about Apple and its slavery conditions of work, another one called LoveMEATender (here the french version, i didn’t found the english one, but here‘s a trailer in english). It was the second time i watched the documentary, inspired by another documentary i recently watched, Cowspiracy (in netflix); it’s about animal farming, pollution and so. And yesterday i watched Honk, about death penalty, and i’m still shocked and just can’t understand it. So there you’ve some quality documentaries in case you’ve a few hours to spend in front of the TV/computer.

Halloween was this last weekend and then on Monday we were very surprised to see Christmas has already arrived to shops.

I loved this wooden tree, easy to copy

And it was funny to see these woods on the table. This summer i asked my man to make wood discs as counting supplies (or whatever) for Wendie, however it’s a good idea as a decor.

But what i really wanted to say is: isn’t it too, TOO soon for christmas decors?

Happy weekend, ladies! [I’m joining Suzy Mae once again]
