January has been grey & wet & a bit dull - but there has been a lot of tulips and reading. I read 19 books, photographed practically nothing, instead was remembering summer and Florence. Maybe you wish to look at my strolling on the hills of Florence - so green and beautiful!
Here you see how unispiring it looks outside!
Wishing you cosy & sunny days & a good start to February! ❤︎❤︎❤︎ #all seasons #der natur donnerstag #digitalart dienstag #dimimi #fokus auf schwarz / weiss

A view through my kitchen window. He have a lot of
Mr. Blackbirds in the garden.
The warming of the climate shows: January is exceptionally warm & grey. What to do when outside activities do not tempt? Read of course! I have read a lot and Sissi has kept me company.
At last I read Hemingway’s classic For whom The Bell Tolls.
The Spanish Civil War has interested me a lot and I have read earlier a few books about it.
Kersti Juva has a 50-years career in translating English literature into Finnish.
Her new non-fiction book A Discovery Trip into Finnish was a brilliant experience. See my blogpost HERE.
Reading is tough. Sissi gets tired sooner than me and also has her manicure moment!

I had an espresso in this historical café. Els Quatre Gats / The Four Cats is a café in Barcelona, that became a popular meeting place for famous artists throughout the modernist period in Catalonia, known as Modernisme. The café opened in 1897 and served as a hostel, bar and cabaret until it eventually became a central meeting point for Barcelona’s most prominent modernist figures, such as Pablo Picasso and Ramon Casas i Carbó. The bar closed due to financial difficulties in June 1903, but was reopened and eventually restored to its original condition in 1989.
In 1899, at 17 years old, Pablo Picasso began frequenting Els Quatre Gats and even held his first solo exhibition in the main room. The poster that now stands on the corner of the street outside the café was designed by Picasso. I do not have a better photo of Picasso's poster, but see this link. There you can see also the wonderful facade of this house.
