The Luck of the beginner

Hey folks, just wanted to share something funny with you. I am not a gambling fan at all espacially when it comes to on-line bingos, casinos and other “easy money” offers.

Recently during my constant web hunting for quality stuff I was tempted by a banner of FOXY BINGO promising to add twenty pounds to your account if you join for free and deposit at least ten pounds. I felt lucky and didn’t think much to give it a try. I passed through the quick registration and joined few games which rules were quite vague to me and … I won 300 pounds.

Somebody would call it the luck of the beginner – I do not tend to give any definitions but am quite happy with my award which already managed to spend. I don’t think would try one more time – it was just my lucky day. Do you feel the chance on your shoulder today?

Fabio Novembre

Impressed by this super down to earth dude who I had the chance to meet  and to listen in the V&A museum in London recently I share his studio website and the interview which is about an hour long but deserves each minute. The most significant words I will never forget were ” When I see a falling star in the sky I do not wish anything for me but to have the opportunity to give something to somebody in a need, as I am fully aware of what extraordinary chance I’ve been given to become what I am at the moment and I need nothing else”

But it is not actually a person but a material and it is not from the past but from the future… It was created in fact in the early 70′s by the chemical giant DuPont as a commercial bath product. Тhe market soon discovered new uses for this versatile material, particularly in kitchen countertops. By the 1990s, Corian® began to be specified for windowsills, indoor/outdoor furniture, even lighting.

Be smart with your small space

Aki’s 30m2 flat in Tokyo is proof that a small space can have it all – room for eating, sleeping and living

“The reason I chose this flat was location. It is very quiet and convenient – with parks and shrines – even though it’s in central Tokyo. The area’s also great for interior shops and cafes, which I enjoy”
