春天的氣候多變,一下春光明媚一下陰暗多雨,每次天氣好的時候就換上洋裝拍穿搭照,天氣不好的時候就蓬頭垢面的穿著牛仔褲窩在電腦前。值得記錄:每兩週在 Tübingen 舉辦的 Swing Zeit 人數越來越多了,難以想像第一兩次小貓兩三隻的光景,希望我跟 Julian 搬離這個小鎮之後這裡的 swing 會繼續成長。大家如果有機會來德國不要忘記找看看所在地有沒有跳舞的機會噢~ 整理一下上週的靈感,in case you missed it. /// April weather is either sunny and bright or wet and miserable. Good weather: dresses and photos. Poor weather: slouchy jeans and laptop. The bi-weekly Swing Zeit social in Tübingen was jammed this week. Hope it will continue to grow even after we move away :) The best part was seeing out-of-towners drive over just to join us! Here's some of last week's highlights, in case you missed it.
這個週一是 Easter Monday, 我第一次跟 Julian 的家人過復活節。他很久以前有告訴我復活節的時候家人都會做塞滿巧克力還有彩蛋的籃子(Easter basket)藏起來玩尋寶,但是提過之後我就忘了,沒想到有一天我會在德國加入他們的家庭聚會 ^^ 分享一下當天吃喝玩樂的照片。 /// On Easter Monday I went and celebrated with Julian's extended family. He did tell me ages ago that they do Easter egg hunts with baskets of sweets but I'd completely forgotten (in fact, at the time I had no idea I'd be living in Germany and joining in). Here's some photos from the trip :)
多變的春季在復活節送給我們又濕又冷的一週~ 一些精選的復古點子,in case you missed it :) /// Spring brought us a cold and wet week right at Easter time. Here's some of the best from this week, in case you missed it :)
上上個週末的老物市集,除了買了幾樣近期會上架的小物,也照了幾張相片 ^^ /// On top of buying a few things for the shop, I took some photos at last week's antique market :) Enjoy~
因為電腦進水大修、太陽花學運讓我無心整理材料(將近一週整天盯著 FB 等待立法院最新的動態,一面以身為台灣人感到驕傲另一面想踹扯後腿的下流媒體)、還有父母來訪的關係已經好幾個星期沒有什麼內容了。昨天把父母親送上了去飛機場的火車,今天終於開始整理這幾週的內容 :) 整理一下精彩的靈感,in case you missed it. /// Laptop drinking a cup of tea, being concerned with Taiwan's protests, and visit by parents = hardly any content for the last few weeks. Having put the rentals on a train to Frankfurt, I finally got down to cleaning up the content from the last few weeks. Here's some inspirational pictures, in case you missed it.
前幾天在朋友的 FB 上看到她的老玩偶要退休了。小時候我也有很多玩偶(當時夾娃娃剛開始流行,我的舅舅們有滿山滿谷的玩偶,很多被我收養)。我清楚地記得約八歲的時候在馬偕醫院開刀時就有我的狗狗玩偶陪著我。多年到處搬家的結果是現在一個都不剩,有點難以想像... Saw on my friend's fb that her stuffed animals was about to retire. Reminded me of my extensive collection as a child and how much I relied on them for companionship. I remember having my favourite dog-toy when I stayed at the hospital as an eight year old for a surgery. I wouldn't have been able to imagine life without them but after moving so much in my teens and twenties, I haven't got a single one left now.
攝影師 Mark Nixon 的 Much Loved 搜集了許多破舊不堪的玩偶,每次想到都讓我有點傷感。人不也是這樣嗎?完美無瑕的來到世界上,一路上的跌撞病老,最後模樣跟著些玩偶差不多(還好愛的人不會因為這樣就嫌棄我們)。我總覺得我們跟物質的關係也是這樣... 我不是不能去買些新的玩偶,只是新的永遠不會像原先陪伴我的那些朋友一樣。什麼東西都好,真正有價值的是我們的珍惜。Her post reminded me of Mark Nixon's Much Loved, and what it reveals about our relationship with the material world. We wouldn't forsake these old friends because they are tired and worn (we'll be that way too before long). Indeed, sometimes the preloved is especially beautiful because of the love and care that have obviously been lavished upon them. |
