weekend bits & bobs

Lovely weekend. The rain let up (went away completely) and it was clear skies and lots of sunlight mixed in with some amazing sunsets to boot. This is certainly my favorite time of the year in LA. While many elsewhere are freezing or under snow we have these beauties hanging over our heads whilst we walk around in cardigans with the temperature lingering in the low 80s. I know, I know. 














Rode my bike to the local Farmer's Market for flowers. Hit up the current exhibition of recent acquisitions at the MoCA-Grand Ave. Vegged out with friends and pizza for some True Blood. Had an amazing brunch with my best bud at Salt's Cure. Came across a new (or at least new to me) mural during an afternoon walking about the Arts District. And best of all had some quality time with this handsome pup.

whispers








Very much into soft pink at the moment. Almost mauve, but not quite as committed to violet.  A whisper of a color. 

October came and went and now November is charging by like a wild rhino. The holidays are upon us and I am already sick and tired of the commercialism of it all. 
I shouldn't say that, it might be bad for business. 

It was gray and rainy today and yesterday and it looks like we are in for more tomorrow. I miss Paris. This weather always makes me long for more. Or rather for different. 
Different locale, different time, different life. 

Good weather for running. And thinking. And hopefully for action.
