in the country

these are the benefits of living in a small-scale city, like utrecht. what i've been missing most of my life in thessaloniki, i found it here. yes, geese on siesta, curious chickens, cuddly goats and dotty rabbits, just around the corner of my home!

I remember, when I was young, I used to try to "redecorate" my bedroom every 6 months or so. But, when I mean young, I mean like 9 or 10. So as you can tell, my finances were quite tight back then, and I couldn't afford buying anything. My imagination had to lead me to cost free solutions, but fun too, right? I remember one of those times that I was struggling to find a way to "redecorate" my room, I came up with the idea of drawing lots of tiny smurfs (stroumfakia in greek) and the relevant environment on a piece of paper, cut them and stick them all around the room, even on the bottom of my desk or bed.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of tiny smurfs "smiling" all around my room, back from those days, but I have just found this diy project that I think that I would totally try! I am sure that my roomie- slugs will appreciate the snail-size intervention! (however I am not so sure about Aris...)
