Into the whites

Lunes.

Ese día que promete bostezos y legañas.

Los lunes crees que tienes toda una semana por delante.

Lunes tras lunes, pecas de lo mismo.

Luego el tiempo desaparece, pero no desistes cada lunes en creer lo mucho que va a dar de sí esta semana.

Este lunes se va nuestra familia de vuelta a Lanzarote.

Este lunes llueve.

Este cuadro ya no está conmigo porque lo ha comprado una chica encantadora.

Un cuadro que verá los lunes en otra casa.

Monday.

The day that promises yawns and eyes full of sleep.

Mondays you believe you have a whole week ahead of you.

Monday after Monday you think the same thing.

Then time vanishes, but you don't give up believing in the loads of tasks you'll achieve within the week.

This Monday our visitors are flying back to Lanzarote.

This Monday it's raining.

This drawing I have parted with, because a lovely girl has bought it.

It'll enjoy its Mondays in someone else's home now.

Shopping

Picture of Elisa shopping in Australia

No tengo fotos propias del atracón de compras que me dí ayer en Donosti, así que ilustro este post con una foto de mi cuñada, que es mucho más bonita.
Para mí, ir a San Sebastián de compras es una pequeña aventura. Sé cuáles son mis tiendas favoritas, pero no sé bien con qué me voy a encontrar. Y me sorprendió encontrar ropa muy chula y a muy buen precio. Y acerté con las tallas de la familia. Bueno, al pobre husband no le compré nada... A ver si lo arreglamos pronto...

I don't have pictures of my yesterday shopping spree in San Sebastian, so I've borrowed this one from my sister-in-law's shopping in Australia, because it's a lot prettier anyway.
Shopping in San Sebastian is kinda an adventure to me. I know which shops are my favourites, but I never know what I will find in them. I trust their taste. I was surprised to find great cool clothes and at a very good price. Even I found the right sizes for the family. Well, I didn't buy anything for poor husband... We'll try to make up for it soon...

Husband wants me to post some drawing, tired as he is of just posted pictures. As you know, I haven't had much time to draw lately, but here you have a little thing.

Husband quiere que ponga algún dibujo, ya que está cansado de tanta fotografía. Como sabéis, no he tenido mucho tiempo para dibujar últimamente, pero esto es algo.

Gramma love

Picture by Elisa

Estaban dibujando en la mesa de la cocina de casa de mi madre, refugiadas del intolerable calor de la calle. Mermelada dibujaba una isla paradisíaca para mí, y no se olvidó de poner unos columpios en ella. Nocilla me retrataba, solo que esta vez me volvía rubia, como ella. Mi madre trajinaba en la cocina.

Nocilla: "Amama, cuando yo tenía dos años ¿ya me querías?
Amama (cogida por sorpresa): Mucho antes, cariño. Mucho antes.
Nocilla: ¿Sí?
Amama: Antes, cuando estabas dentro de la tripita de tu madre, ya te quería.
Nocilla: ¡pero si no sabías si era chico o chica!


The girls were drawing at the kitchen table at my mom's, sheltered from yesterday's suffocating heat. Marmalade was drawing a paradise island for me, and she didn't forget to draw some slides and swings on it. Nutella was portraying me, although this time a blonde version of me. My mom was cooking.

Nutella: Gramma, when I was two years old, did you already love me?
Gramma (surprised): Earlier than that, my dear.
Nutell: Yes?
Gramma: I already loved you when you were inside your mom's belly.
Nutella: But you didn't know if I was a boy or a girl!!

Swings and swims

Estos días estoy pasando mucho tiempo con las niñas y la familia que ha venido a visitarnos. Así que no hay mucho tiempo para dibujar, pintar piedras o continuar con los diversos proyectos. A decir verdad, me está costando mucho concentrarme. Tengo un pequeño bloqueo mental. La contrapartida, sin embargo, es dulce. Nos pasamos el día en la playa. Ya me he dado el primer y helado baño de la temporada. Y, tengo que decir, que me ha sentado muy bien.

Por el momento, os dejo fotos de mi archivo reciente.

Pasad un buen lunes.

These days I'm spending all my time with the girls and the family visitting us. So there's not much time left for drawing, painting on stones or developing properly my new projects. To tell the truth, I'm having a hard time concentrating. I have a kinda mental block. However, there's a sweet side to this. I get to spend a lot of time at the beach. I've already gone for the first swim in the cold cold sea this year. And, I must say, it's been great for me.

I'm going to be posting pictures from my recent files for now.

Have a good Monday!
