Bike ride

So, my darling suddenly decided to buy a bike. He never bikes but he’s now going to participate in a ten miles bike ride with 10 thousand other cyclists where all the money goes to charity. He did a similar thing a few years ago. He then went & bought a bike plus all those things that comes with it – such as shoes, gloves, helmet & those clothes that are padded & upholstered everywhere with lots of badges sewn here & there.

Anyway, he did not use any of the stuff after that bike tour. Just when we’ve finally driven away most of it to charity, he comes up with the idea to repeat the procedure. So my dear has been up early every morning the past weeks to kick start his fitness level. And finally, the big day is here. It was nice weather when he left early this morning but it got warmer during the day, around 37 degrees. That’s not so cozy!

(But the important thing was the earnings which are donated to charity, in this case, muscle disease).

Daily inspiration, Vespa

Black Vespa 300 – a perfect means of transport whether it’s rush hour or a quiet ride home. Easy to run, great city bike & very fast (of course within the speed limit) plus convenient & practical. A little beauty, design-wise also.

Daily inspiration, practical

A stylish bag or backpack rather, is not easy to find. I’m not looking for the everyday use since I don’t have need of that. I would like to have one for short day trips but it must to look good, of course, otherwise it’s no point. Practical is important although not to bulky. What do you think about this one?

Daily inspiration, urban living

Open space solution in an open place. It’s an old water tower that is turned in to a residence. It’s like living on a stage, a place that is accessible to those who are interested in other people’s accommodation & lives. Whether you would enjoy it or not, it’s an amazing creation that combines the old with the new in an exceptionally interesting way.

Café life

We went to Melbourne on a long weekend to celebrate a long relationship that goes into its third decade. And our boys joined us, of course. Where would we be without them. It turned out to become more their weekend actually – shopping weekend so to speak. We strolled behind or in front of them, went in & out of hundreds of shops, spent time outside the changing rooms, discussed all sorts of subjects and so on. Beautiful weather, great city, nice people, comfortable & luxuriously hotel & numerous, numerous cafes.
