a few days of just me & her in the house.
the hallway is almost as good
for practicing the handstand
as the backyard.
in the afternoon,
she went to a birthday party,
while I walked a little.
popped to the winter gardens (again, sorry :)).
this time, there was a choir singing
& small gatherings of people
sharing a flask of coffee
or bottle of bubbly
in a quiet nook here & there,
under the shadow of
sprawling evergreens.
Then to the National Museum
and the photography exhibition of Jaakko Heikkilä,
whisking to a world of grand Venetian palazzos.
we've been having friends over in the last few days,
both the small & grown-up kind.
in other words,
a Sunday with
plenty of leftovers in the kitchen.
I made this simple quiche yesterday,
served with a salad of
melon, buffalo mozzarella & mint
& glass of chilled rosé,
which created a rather succulent combo,
and finished off with
meringue nests, fresh berries, fruit,
& a dollop of créme fraiche.
but the winning combination
is food & friends,
no matter what the menu.
( often the simpler the better I think...)
some Sunday excerpts here.
and I wish you a lovely evening!
