CAPRICHO

 I might have been away a long while but tonight I made for lost time.

 

San Marco, isn't it something? My driver says it looks as pretty as the real thing. I have no idea what she means, she's not well poor thing. She thinks her world is the real thing. One day I will tell you about my driver's world so you can laugh with me. TAXI 

 

then, at 2.00 pm SL there is... the Keller of course. Here Jo errr... preparing for battle.

Quiet evening, it looks like Berliners are enjoying the warm weather in the Tiergarten.  More giggle water for us me says! Specially since Morgy continues to fall asleep on his feet. Only three of us to share.

 

Caddy has taken to drinking beer the German way. When in Rome... 

And then the cherry in the cake - can't disclose the secret location of our Violets night. In a few words, lemonade, breathtaking views, even more breathtaking company and private beaches, ahem again.

 Dora showing us her Summer villa. It's windy in Ca... there!

lemonade and cigarettes' and the sun falling. What was that book you mentioned? Extraordinary Women by Sir Compton Mackenzie. And extraordinary book considering when — and by whom — it was written!

I guess we will fly back to Berlin tomorrow. For now it's beedy byes for me. 

oh, Mikk is in love. Love love this time it seems. She is magic.

 

SLUMBER PARTY

 Sshhhhhhh...

<whispers> The last hush hush party at Lesbenstrasse (such good name, Dorita...), or what the Berlin funky ladies got up to when none was looking.

 

Gyna doesn't leave the glass alone... and no wonder. We all had something huge to celebrate !!

ABSENT

 

 

 

Hey! I want to be in the photo too!!

 

 

 

I love your Oyster bar, herr Clarrington but if you were planning to stay out here for the duration of the event... you might as well have acted as our waiter. Just saying.

Pinky moment and don't I look guilty in there! you know what they say, no smoke without fire *whistles innocently*

 Miss you, miss the world(s)

GARDEN OF EDEN

 

... and while I wait for the decorators to finish the house, I found what the garden needed to look really magical! 

Gi, Juliette, Gyna and myself in our baby suits and a few hats and shoes.

PS - and so it was that Behrenstrasse 7 got its name:

SAPPHIST POEM READING

 

What a well-read coven we formed last night, under the Moon and over the Sun. We read some delicious poems and talked of no less delicious prose, curiously enough some written by men, not women. I chose one that reminds me a lot of myself—I had to go for the 1800s, I am a total donkey when it comes to the classics, I am afraid. Something to improve in the future!

There it goes:

They shut me up in Prose – 

BY EMILY DICKINSON

They shut me up in Prose –

As when a little Girl

They put me in the Closet –

Because they liked me “still”   –

Still! Could themself have peeped –

And seen my Brain – go round –

They might as wise have lodged a Bird

For Treason – in the Pound –

Himself has but to will

And easy as a Star

Look down upon Captivity –

And laugh – No more have I –

THE SECRET RENDEZVOUS

 

So violets go out to play on Monday nights. They do a different thing every time, yesterday it was tennis turn. What a laugh, and luckily for them I didn't attempt a shot. 

Can't wait for Monday next!

PS - ((oh yes, I changed my name. Connie Branagan it is this time around. much more 20s, and one of my favourite names since I was a little girl. Maybe I should adopt it in RL too))
