Noughts + Crosses

I am truly mesmerised by the new BBC series “Noughts + Crosses” available on iPlayer. The action takes place in a near dystopian future where the native African people gained technological and military advantage over Europe (rather than the other way round) and dominated the United Kingdom.

Kate Spade Camera Bag

I kind of like it because in early March/April, around Easter in the country…

Plants Sanctuary

Mimosa Pudica is a plant I got from my friend Maria as a goodbye present when I was leaving my last job. It reacts strongly to changes in the surrounding environment: touch, temperature, sun, rain, even mild wind. It’s very sensitive and closes up its leaves when detects anything that worries it. But tonight it…
