OCEAN

I woke up this morning, back home, ready for a day full of hard work. But Anna knocked on my door, grabbed me by the hand, and forced me to go for a walk down to the ocean with her. So what could I do but laugh and go?
Now...I hadn't even eaten my breakfast yet, so she started by taking me out to a cafe (isn't that nice of her?)...and then....well, you can see for yourselves:

IRL: My day is just beginning and the thought of going to work when there are oceans to discover is heavy.; May 7, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Eleanor said...: I know exactly what you mean Anna...but it sure was fun while it lasted!

I guess that trip to the olive groves of Greece is out of the question for tomorrow?; May 7, 2008 at 5:19 PM
Anonymous said...: Eleanor goes to the beach.

Eurolush goes to the graveyard.

Hmmmmm.

What does that say about us?

1. Eleanor is fresh and lively and fun. She takes photos of her toes and soft, sandy beaches.

2. Eurolush is morbid and scary and perplexing. She takes photos of gravestones and recently tended burial plots.

We are so much alike!; May 7, 2008 at 11:24 PM

Esti said...: Thanks for coming around my blog and leaving a comment. Yours has many refreshing pictures and interesting stories behind them. I've enjoyed it all!; May 8, 2008 at 11:18 PM
Anonymous said...: What a lovely post. Those various pools (for swimming?) are fascinating. I live about as far away from an ocean as is possible in North America, must content myself with little lakes.; May 9, 2008 at 2:19 AM

Commentary box

It all started when I read a newspaper article about blogging which mentioned Catherine Newman, who mentioned Journeymama. Journeymama had a link to Blackbird. Blackbird basically linked to every single blogger in the entire blogosphere. I hung out in lots and lots of comment boxes as an “Anonymous”, but I had more and more to say every day and the comment boxes were soon far too small for me. I was toying with the idea of starting my own blog when I met Kim at the Growers’ Market; I introduced myself to her and she said “Oh, you’re Eleanor from my comment box?! You should start a blog.” So I did. After a few weeks, Blackbird mentioned me and Eurolush (2 new bloggers) in one of her posts. From that day onwards I met some of the most fabulous bloggers a gal could wish for, plus...Eurolush and I became blog-blood sisters. I got to know Mary, Suse, Badger, BabelBabe, Alice C, Tuli, Kmkat, RW, Jen, Trashalou and many many others. Mary introduced me to two extraordinary gardens, and it was via her comment box that I met dear Anna from Sweden (the very morning after I had watched a Swedish film and said to my husband “Wouldn’t it be great to find a Swedish blogger?”). Anna introduced me to Maria, and both now blog regularly in English, which is amazing. Anna also introduced me to Esti in Spain, whose art brings me so much happiness on a daily basis. Duyvken first showed up in my life when I read a comment she left in Kim’s box a mere 24 hours after giving birth to JW. Coffeelady showed up in Eurolush’s commentbox recently, making a very rude remark about my running ability, and therefore immediately winning a place in my heart. Julia visited my library all the way from Prague recently. So...I’ve been having a great deal of fun with my blog. But, remember, dear dear reader, it all started with me being an “Anonymous”, and therefore I must also mention (last but certainly not least) my favourite Anonymous, the one, the only...... LAURA. So...go on...what are you waiting for? Pick a blogger, click in a box and comment.
