080808








Eight images from the eighth of the eighth of eighth. I got a hand-delivered postcard from a friend whom I haven't heard from in ages, so lovely to get first thing in the morning. Made me realise how rare handwritten postcards and letters are these days. Spent most of the day watching the opening ceremony from the Beijing Olympics, which was incredible, but after a couple of hours I felt dizzy so I sat myself in front of the piano for the day's practice and immediately felt better. How was your eighth?

  3. Hi, I work in a shop and it was very nice to write this special date on the receipts. I was thinking of doing it days before...
    So funny, before I looked at your blog this morning
    (this is how I start my day) I was thinking 'is she still playing the piano' and you showed this pic.
    It brings you in a good mood, great. So play, play, play...

  6. oh, så fint! vykort o brev som är så roligt! vilken dag! :) jag har blivit ett vykorts-freak de senaste åren faktiskt och skickar ganska ofta såna fina som jag köper på mig ett gäng vid tillfälle.
    min åttonde var fin med hotelfrukost, city-stros men även tågåkande i gammeldags kupé (låter mysigare med sistnämnda, än vad det faktiskt var...)
