Edith Piaf
I can’t seem to stop listening to her. Of course classics like La Vie En Rose, but also Les Trois Cloches has been on replay.
Marimekko shoulder bag
Mine’s black, about 8 years old, and still in perfect condition despite regular use. It’s surprisingly spacious, fits a folder for A4-size papers or a laptop, has handy pockets for cell phone and iPod and stuff, and goes with everything. The strap can be adjusted so the bag can be used as a shoulder bag or a messenger bag across your body. What with my recent very mobile life, with places to go to all the time, this is very convenient!
Moleskin day-planner
in red leather. Couldn’t live without it. It’s stylish and pretty.
De-cluttering
I have too much stuff, so I’m getting rid of lots of it. Including clothes, books and dishware. Call it my kind of cleaning, or a bad reaction to helping other people move. Or maybe I’m just gearing up for my imminent move? Who knows! All I care about is that there’s less stuff in my apartment in the evening than there was in the morning of that day.
Word document calendar on a desktop file
A convenient way of showing the entire month at one glance. Also, an easy way to house all those To Do -lists and schedule things I need to do by a certain deadline. I don’t like to do the scheduling bit (Monday: do project A, Tuesday: finish B, start on C, check up on M…) on my day-planner, it’s full enough as it is with all the other info. The scheduling goes into the Word document where it’s easy to see for a longer period in one go, and easy to change.
