saturday:

awake early and then back to sleep to awake in time for shopping at the local deli, and then a pizza lunch followed by desserts with gals who are great company for such things. then late into the evening, wrapping and writing.

sunday:

awake early for baking cupcakes for a wedding and picnic, enjoying the last moments of summer in early autumn.

these days i am enjoying ::

the last twinkle of summer mornings. even though it is officially autumn over here, the morning light in our flat is all about summer. bright.

getting home before anyone else and pottering around.

friends who are visiting and will soon be celebrating.

sorry, i am not feeling so great these days. something like a scratchy sore throat and a heavyhead.

these days it’s all about a quick homemade meals and restful nights.

the rest of the week got ahead of me. thursday saw some minor flooding on the way home due to the rain, so a taxi drive home was in order so that steaming bowls of soup could be had asap. and off to bed with some light reading. friday lunch was fun and games with two ladies; sandwiches all round and milk shakes like you’ve never heard of; caramel or pistachio, both with a shot of double espresso. as i say; fun and games. the rest of the day was a write-off when guests arrived for a quick hello and then stayed for two rounds of bubbles.

and then there was autumn and juno the night before, late under the covers with little pieces of wrapped chocolate.

last night we welcomed autumn with home cooking and a little girl for company. she likes to play the tabla which we keep in the corner - for decoration. really, she is the one who plays it these days so we just let her beat it out over dinner conversation.

and today we have a party for another little girl, there is pass-the-parcel, a piñata and a make-shift photobooth courtesy of mr. mac. i am looking forward to a piece of cake.
