Fri 13th

Hey,

I had been told today I should be writing my thesis instead of writing this blog. Hmm, I don't think I am in any way behind with my thesis because of my blog. Actually, it is quite opposite, I am much more into my thesis after I started my blog. I need some other stuff than work, after work of course :)

Some people have their own hobbies and I have my blog, because I like to write and take pictures. If any of you likes my blog and wants to read it, I am very pleased :) I decided to take a blog to a bit more personal level, therefore I will sometimes say what I mean... :O

Today is Fri 13th. Day like any other day. Nevertheless, as we already have a black cat we are in trouble for bad luck, said our friend the other day. Hmm, Leo is not totally black but still as our last name means 'Lucky Penninsula', our bad luck and good one are perfectly balanced :P 

black cat, the ultimate symbol of bad luck

ah, even my Swatch watch says it is Fri 13th...

It is actually funny how people believe in good and bad luck. They buy talismans, they don't do certain things cause they may bring bad luck...

eye of a Prophet, symbol of good luck

according to a lish belief, one should not dry the flowers received from the loved ones (these are not from my husband...)
