Timisoara

Posted by Claudia Moser on 10:09 AM in , ,
And I am here, back in my home town, enjoying a wonderful Indian summer morning, the sky is so blue that you could sink your eyes in it. The temperatures are warm and mild, I am only dreaming of walking and we will do so in a couple of minutes.

Peter and I are both so happy to be able to share a Sunday breakfast with my mom and granny, we were chatting about this and that for more than 2 hours, and life does feel good.

Sometimes you cannot find words to describe a situation since you land in a writing road block, but today I believe that HAPPY is the only existing word to define how I feel.

I wish you all a lovely Sunday!

P.S. Please excuse my lack of posting from yesterday, it took us some time to fix the wireless, so this should actually be a post for Saturday since I know that HAPPY was and will be my state here in Timisoara.

Happiness

Posted by Claudia Moser on 10:18 PM in , ,
As clearly stated in my Longing List, the best things in life are the simplest and this evening was just one example for this rule.

You know what? I am simply happy at this particular moment, after spending 3 lovely hours with my neighbour, also Claudia :)

What did we do? Well, while reading the local newspaper on Sunday I stumble upon a small add saying that this evening the store Karstadt (similar to Marks & Spencer) is organising a Ladies Night in order to announce the new refurbishing they were doing for the last 2 months. I noted towards Peter that I would love to go, but with whom? And then he suggested my neighbour, and I am so glad he did that. Claudia accepted without any hesitation, so here we were, the 2 Claudias driving towards the special evening.

The store had quite a nice program prepared: make up tips, a fashion show, live music, some nice drinks.

We started with a lovely Campari Orange, then found a nice spot (2 lovely leather armchairs) and chatted and chatted while waiting for the fashion show. Sadly the show was short, only half an hour, but great music and some nice combinations. What I can say is that pink, dark red, grey and blue are trendy.

Then we had free shopping, with some nice discounts. Somehow time went by so quickly, we found lovely items, had fun trying them on! The live soul music in the background was a great companion.

In the end after spending some money for us, we bought chocolate for the husbands and cheese for Naila. She snore happily at my feet after seeing me safe home and enjoying the treat!

Life is good and I am still happy!

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
