solitary_summerAt the risk of repeating myself, spring! :)
Day off, and since my sister & family are on holiday, no niece day; tried, emphatic emphasis on tried, to buy some new clothes (much needed) at H&M, and it was like some kind of 80ies inspired nightmare. Is it just me, or is fashion getting worse and more frilly & feminine by the year? It's literally been years since I found something I actually liked that wasn't plain black shirts, both of the long- and short-sleeved variety. Even my trousers and skirts are from way back. My spring/autumn coat is so shabby (corduroy + messenger bag + biking a lot don't mix well) that I expect to get thrown out of places, but I can't find anything I even remotely like. And whoever thought it was a good idea to bring back leggings?People whose ass is smaller than mine, obviously.
Then drove to Laxenburg and had very nice walk in the afternoon sunshine; everything still looking very bare, but Leberblümchen and Primeln and Bärlauch and some kind of violet flower I don't know the name of are already out and the buds are starting to open, if you look closely. Took a few photos, which I haven't done for months, and quite enjoyed it.
Also called the dentist and fixed an appointment, which I've bee putting off since I came back from my holiday.
One of the better days, actually.
