shifting

It is almost September. The roses are still in bloom but you can feel how they bring out the last buds for this year. The sun is changing its course, the evening light breaks out in yellow colors and the shape of things says: Autumn. The temperatures, the light, the perspective: All is shifting. Usually, […]

the thing with roses

I guess have a thing with roses. Thus, here comes the promised post on rosy matters.  I got a lovely mail today, where someone admires what I do with roses. These mails are of course lovely to read, but here is the truth: The trick is quite simple. Just use the real thing. You remember […]

3 weeks until Pitti Fragranze

In three weeks I will get ready for Pitti Fragranze in Florence. With this in mind, I visited my bike mechanic guy to announce my bike for repairs. I used it on a daily basis and hence figured that these 5 days where I am at Pitti might be ideal to get my bike’s age […]

an updated blog and a word on information 2.0

Yesterday, later in the evening Zurich time, my blog was down again. It was malicious code that brought it down, injected by whomever. With a few adjustments done by my super IT cracks it should be fine for a while again. When visiting the blog’s spam folder, heavily protected by a mental TEFLON suit, I […]
