Keine Lust

Nur im Gott kann man vertrauen, wenn man ein Problem hat.

Ich bin erschọ̈pft. Ich muss meine Hausaufgabe machen, aber ich habe keine Lust. Ich will ins Bett gehen, aber ich kann nicht schlafen.

Was kann ich tun? ich soll etwas zu tun... aber was?
Ich darf viele Sachen zu machen, aber ich habe keine Lust.
Heute habe ich vier Stunden geschläft... ist das normaler? Ich glaube nein...
In letzer Zeit könnte ich nicht schlafen, und das ist weil ich keine Lust habe.

Jetzt frage ich mich, warum schreibe ich auf Deutsch? Keine Ahnung. Ich hatte Lust :D

This actually has nothing to do with what I wrote, but I'm tired, I can't sleep, I just felt like it...

It's a chalk horse in Salisbury plain ;)

Switzerland 2010-2011


That's Lindau, a small town in Germany. It's near the border with Switzerland


That's a man talking to a seagull... funny


Sunset in Lausanne, lake Leman




All previous three are of Lausanne





The rest were taken in Ebnat-Kapel and near abouts
It's a beautiful landscape, and I'll be uploading quite a few pics of Switzerland this year :D

Yayo. Ahora estás en un lugar mejor, un lugar en el que no hay dolor, en el que puedes andar, libre de todos esos cables y tubos que te ataban a la cama. Ahora eres libre de ir en bicicleta como solías, por tantas carreteras como quieras. Ahora no estás perdido en un mundo sin sonidos, ya no estás solo en tu propia cabeza.

Sé que estás mucho mejor ahora, sé que ya no sufres más, pero aún así te echaré de menos. Cada vez que vea tu sillón vacío, o tu tablero de ajedrez abandonado y lleno de polvo, se me ensombrecerá el rostro, frunciré el ceño, pero sé que estás mejor ahí donde estás.
También sé que algún dia nos volveremos a ver, porque yo no viviré para siempre...

Ya no me quedan abuelos, dos hombres a los que no pude ver tanto como quisiera, pues nos separaban cientos de kilómetros de distancia, pero los volveré a ver, y entonces, no habrá distancias.

The Four Evangelists


This was me trying to copy one of the pages of the Book of Kells: the four Evangelists. It's probably the most famous folio of this manuscript, which is located in Trinity College, Dublin. It is also known as the Book of Columba, and that is one of the reasons why I first became so interested in it.
My grandmother's maiden name is "Coleman", and looking up that surname for some family tree making, I found that it might have had its origins in StColumba, a lad who went to Ireland more less the same time as StPatrick, and tried to bring Christianity to the Celts.


This is Matthew, represented as man.


This is Mark, as a lion. This would be the hardest one to draw... and to paint.


This is Luke, as an ox. In a quite odd posture.


And this is my favourite, John, the eagle.

they all look as if they were drawn by a 10 year-old child, but I'm doing my best here... LOL
I painted them all with watercolours, which maybe is the reason why it's taking me so much time. I fear the time when I get to the Celtic knots...

The drawings I've been up to lately... :D

Here are some pictures I've taken from the drawings in my favourite notebook... everybody who sees it thinks it's my diary, so I s'posse I can call it that, or sort of anyway...
In school I used to say I'd like to be a Medieval Monk, because they sat, read and drew all day long, more less my idea of paradise back then... still, I decided to get some of it done, and this is what came out. I'm also working in a famous "Book of Kells" image that I uploaded here some time ago. Hope you like it.




This detail on the top left corner is a Huguenot cross... I copied it from a neclace my mother gave me. It belonged to her aunt... so it's quite old, I think. For those who do not know what it means, here's what you need:

this is a page of my "diary", in which I've written psalm 23 in my best handwriting, and drawn a nice frame for it.



this is the head (closer) of the Osprey I copied from "The Book of British Birds" the swallow I got from there as well...
It is a bit sad that I can't do them without looking at someone's previous job, but, one does what one can...
