I've had a very chilled weekend with a focus on me. As in treats. For breakfast, I went to the boulangerie for a demi-baguette yesterday (not very glam but oh-so-good with raspberry jam) and for a delicious chausson pomme today, and I also went all-out on dinner. I bought a roast chicken from the butcher last night and ate it with asparagus and mustard, then tonight I had it cold with more asparagus and scrumptious sweet-potato mash and loads of sea salt and black pepper. Still more left for tomorrow night, probably in a risotto with the stock that's simmering away on the stove at the moment.
Apart from a looong walk with S today (a weekend ritual), I've not seen anyone. Instead, I spent last night making this gem:
Too cool, no? I've been eyeing it up for weeks and decided to just BUY the kit yesterday and sod the "oh, but it's a bit silly to spend money on something like that" anxieties. I primed it because I wanted it white and I already had the primer out to do a third shelf for my bedroom and then spent a merry couple of hours trying to put the damn thing together. Not easy. But very engaging.
I spent this afternoon playing with a linocut. Not sure how it'll turn out - I don't have ink at home so I'll have to wait until my next class to print - but it was fun. Off to do some more now.
Oh, and my flowers are growing madly and looking mighty fine. :)
