dievca had a project and it blew up larger than expected!
She hit it out of the ballpark.
That doesn’t always happen.
Shazam!
Enjoying a glass of wine to celebrate.
dievca hopes you have had something good happen, too. XO

Built on a Rock – Viseu
Posted: June 19, 2022 Filed under: Entertainment | Tags: BDSM, Church Catholic, D/s, dievca, Portugal, rock, terrain, travel, Vacation, Wine Leave a comment
(click on photos to enlarge)
The origins of the city of Viseu date back to the Celtic period when it was called ‘Vissaîegobor’. With its Romanization, the settlement gained importance and was renamed ‘Vissaium’, being at the intersection of a series of Roman roads linking Mérida, Lisbon, and Galicia.
Viseu is associated with Viriathus, since it is thought that the Lusitanian hero may have been born in this region. After the Roman occupation of the peninsula, under the Visigoths, the settlement was elevated to the status of city and to the seat of a diocese by at least the 6th century.
Viseu is a regional economic hub with a strong wine industry and is the seat of international conglomerate Visabeira. The city is also a cultural center, home to the nationally acclaimed Grão Vasco Museum, seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Viseu, and center of national universities, including the Catholic University of Portugal.

to get to the Laundrymat to clean towels, pads, and clothing because the wash machine went out….It’s been years since dievca has had to gather quarters for the machines.Â
dievca’s desperation of not initially recognizing a wine bottle shape in the bottom cupboard was a bit pathetic. The wine is a solid Malbec and a good way to end a day of chores.Â
Mom is good, dievca got her best – but she is fading. Mom is going to go down with dignity and a healthy splash of humor~
dievca absolutely loves that her Mom cannot remember that she broke her hip twice or what she ate, but she damn well knows that dievca brought her favorite chocolates and asks about dievca’s Apple Green Dries van Noten Platform Sandals. (Note: Mom is bed/wheelchair bound, but dievca has put all the shoes on her Mother’s feet – just to get the “look”.)
dievca schlepped two pair of kick a** boots for Mom to review, platform leather Chuck Taylors, a +J Uniqlo Mixed Knit Sweater a friend gave to her and the crazy print LA Double J reversible down coat. dievca’s Mom loved it all.Â
Chocolates and Fashion – there is some kind of philosophical “Meaning of Life” in those choices.
seems appropriate

RE/Done ‘Just Bring Wine’ Tee $125
Actually, it’s not desperate.
dievca’s Mom had a bath at Noon (it takes two people) and that wiped her out until dievca woke her at 4:55 pm. Why 4:55 pm? Because her Mom insisted that Jane Eyre would be on TV at 5:00 pm… Yes, it was on – because dievca downloaded it onto the tablet from Amazon Prime.
(dievca’s brother canceled cable TV)
dievca fed her Mom dinner and watched the 2011 version with her – good acting, but it is a sad movie.
Big Band Music to pick up the mood while getting Mom ready for bed and now dievca is seeking wine.
There is no wine to be had ~ hence the appropriate t-shirt graphic.
(Wine is on the grocery list for tomorrow.) 😉

Something of Use: Silicone Wine Glasses

When dievca lived in Europe she stopped to see friends who were packing to move to Switzerland. The wife, who was Irish, offered dievca a glass of wine and was about to pour it into a plastic cup – they were packing to move. The husband, who was French, went meltdown and dug through the kitchen boxes to find the proper wine glasses. Ever since then, dievca has tried to offer the proper glass for a specific drink type. she won’t drink out of the can. But, on the other hand, she has broken beer and wine glasses on the rooftop. It is a mess.
Having a wine outside by the pool or on the rooftop may be the Highlight of this COVID-19 Summer.
Meeting friends for a 2-meter spacing dinner in a park calls for easy to carry, easy to eat food and accouterments.
Breaking a wine glass and having to clean it up – would just add to the 6 feet spacing stress.
dievca found some silicone wine glasses at Walmart.com, $11.99 for four. she bought Master a set, too.
Unbreakable Outdoor Rubber Wine Cups: 14 oz, Clear Silicone. 100% Dishwasher Safe, Shatterproof, can for easy carrying or storage. Solid grip, stable on the table. Replaces the one-use plastic.
she does wonder what Marius would say about the silicone….
Party on! Safely. XO

Looks like her friend has found a really good bottle of wine. 😉

It was a long, arduous Saturday.
Please refer back to Saturday’s post
for where dievca’s mind has stopped.
(Does anyone have wine and all-ready-made chocolate cake for dievca?)
What a great Sister-In-Law!

dievca was grateful, really grateful~
And that watermelon? That is the way everyone is getting dievca’s Dad to have enough water intake since he insisted upon removing his feeding tube.
Well, he’s not dead, yet!
Umm, Dad might not make it to 88 if he keeps following dievca around the house telling her how to do things…
Umm- was this a Bordello?

It started with a lovely seafood lunch, topped off with a chocolate mousse.
The walk up the hill offered a chance for some views:
And some shopping:
Some of which was in a Bordello:
Actually, it was a very stately house that was a single family home (palace) for many years until the family couldn’t afford the upkeep. Part of the house was used as a movie set for two years – a French film for which the set designers created the nudes in the entry way and double stair case. Of course, dievca had to ask if it was a house ill-repute.
And a final walk through a park with ancient trees, Magnolia and other:
And a final beer for the way home:

‘Everybody else is going green, so we will too- Bring us a bottle of vinho verde.”
Wine/half a ham sandwich + internet shopping = danger
Posted: March 31, 2019 Filed under: Accessories, Home and Garden | Tags: BDSM, D/s, decorating, dievca, homegoods, Life, Missoni Home, NYC, online shopping, Shopping, submissive, Wine Leave a commentdievca escaped.
Barely.
We will talk about wine and internet shopping in more detail, later…

It was a long two days and dievca went up to the roof top to enjoy the warmer temperatures (64 F/ 18 C) after work with a bottle of wine – Lemon Hill Viognier. dievca thinks Master gave it to her – not bad. The wind of the rooftop swept away some of the heat, so she meandered back to the apartment to finish the 2nd half of a ham sandwich.
This was not a heavy base for the wine she was drinking…
dievca has been spring cleaning, heavily and you know that she has cleared out the closets. As a part of that process, she has thought about adding bits and pieces to her home decor.
she has a cozy Ugg Duffield throw blanket someone gave her as a gift, but maybe she needs (ok, wants) a more colorful update for summer. she doesn’t have cloth napkins in her current home color scheme. What about a pouf to sit on?
And the wine took over…
As a fan of Missoni, dievca became sucked in on Yoox, Farfetched, RueLala, Matches Fashion, eBay, Neiman Marcus searching for Home Good from the brand. she was contemplating spending $800 at Rue LaLa for a robe, blanket and a pillow or $1000 at Yoox for a blanket, napkins, and a pouf.
she did a Google search and escaped the madness with just a tablecloth and napkins – on sale for $110, including shipping from Europe. And they are quirky enough to make her happy for Spring without breaking the bank.
Missoni Home Collection Eva Napkins Cotton
This choice was made after a couple of glasses of water.
Saved…
dievca does have a Missoni robe and a couple of Missoni throws in her eBay cart. Maybe they will make more sense in the morning.
So…..have you had a bit too much to drink and bought something on the internet?
Apparently, it’s a thing~😘
And she was~

Floating Girl by Jonathan Robrecht
A most beautiful friend died yesterday.
I got to see her, say “I love you” and hold her hand before she moved on.
I’m hoping that she was able to float out on the next plane, blissing out, losing her pain.
“I used to know a blissed-out hippie-chick in Baltimore,” recalled Byrne in the liner notes of Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads. “She once told me that she used to do acid (the drug, not music) and lay down on the field by the Yoo-hoo chocolate soda factory. Flying out of her body, etc etc. It seemed like such a tacky kind of transcendence… but it was real! A new kind of religion being born out of heaps of rusted cars and fast food joints. And this girl was flying above it all, but in it too.”
Then as I thought about it more — I think that my friend would prefer to leave you with this:
Me? I’m firmly on the ground.
Crying into my excellent wine~

I’m a softy. As a former Athlete, (yeah, yeah, yeah – elite athlete….What is that? Someone who represented their country in the top-tier.) ~Whatever. My body doesn’t work as elegantly, now.
Anywhoo…
as dievca has a glass of Master’s wine in her hand…umm, a little tipsy.
As a former Athlete, I appreciate and treasure the life’s lessons and experiences which athletics can give a child, young adult, and adult. These lessons are beyond the athletic skills, they are social awareness lessons, reality lessons, health lessons and love lessons. And those lessons or gifts may come from the most unexpected places.
I remember learning, at 7 years old, that you don’t know who is sitting around you, so if you don’t have anything nice to say about another athlete – don’t say anything at all.
Then being offered a piece of the new-fangled Bubblicious bubble gum.
The advice stuck. So did the bubblegum.
The reason I was crying was this E:60 story. I love Men, I love teenagers – all their angst, I love boys, I love children — anything that makes a child’s Life better is gold. Add something athletic? Golden.
(note this a long clip, 24 min – sorry.)
It reminds me to tell the kids I run into that I love them. Have you told the kids in your Life that you love them? Do it. And those teenagers? They are still kids, they need you. Be there.
PS. For those USA Sports Nuts — my team got dropped in the Sweet 16, but my second choice has made it through to the final four. March Madness is always a bit of fun.
Damn. This wine is going down way too easily. Whew!
On the Go~
Posted: September 30, 2017 Filed under: Analysis, Home and Garden | Tags: BDSM, D/s, dievca, Life, NYC, picnic, Shopping, submissive, Summer, Wine 7 CommentsDo you love picnics?
Is it still warm by you?
Nice for a bike ride and a meal?
Travel wine?
Originally spotted in a Scandinavian Liquor Store while sourcing a local liquor as a gift. The first offering’s name is stellar!:
Then found in a local NYC sandwich shop (‘wichCraft):
dievca loves picnics and is intrigued by the convenience of a canned wine. But she’s leery to waste her money and taste buds on bad wine.
Has anyone given them a try?

dievca said she found some Retro Wine Labels for you all to buy. Â The store on Etsy is called Sloshed Sisters and they offer all different kinds of Beer and Wine labels.
The labels dievca is interested in are called Hostess Labels.

Sometimes you need the wine to speak to you/for you
and if the bottle could do it…
all the better.
(click on one photo to get into the gallery to see all the bottles)
Master is the wine connoisseur and dievca loves His selections. she would just like to add an appropriately fun label to the bottle after Master opens the wine.
Can you imagine your Sir/Madame’s face when offering His/Her glass after pouring from the relabeled bottle?
No, you cannot buy these labels,
but dievca found some cool ones on Etsy.
she will be sharing them is a future post.
