T'as tout tu profites de rien
I got myself a tray to put my laptop on and not get my tighs boiling when I want to sit on my couch to either write or read things out of the internet. Taking advantage of it at the moment, here is the post:
I got the tray from a store I was wandering around to find a present for Perrine's housewarming/birthday party last Friday. My friend Catherine and I had agreed to get her some solar lights for her garden, but then I wanted to add something that'd be just from me. I found a picnic plaid, that might be helpful to her, as she has this nice garden, planted with lots of fruit trees, and with an enormous space for her horse. (I think the whole ground around the house was the main reason she convinced her boyfriend they needed to buy this one refurbished farm. Then, I figured she would sometimes take day horserides and enjoy the plaid.
This is Perrine with her presents!
This is Perrine and her boyfriend, with some birthday brownies I had made (as well as cardamome and pear madeleines):
The muffins were for mother's day, which was on Sunday (French date for it). And everything sits on the tray!
This is Perrine's house.
Another view of her property, with bulding she uses as boxes for her horse, and this little fountain all covered with vegetation, and topped with a lovely stone showing craftsmen at work.
This is the house from the back.
Catherine and her boyfriend doing a fencing demo in the garden (Catherine is always dressed like this when she is not at work). You can see a llittle pond at the back, and Perrine's horse and poney.
We slept over and went on a long and sporty walk on Saturday afternoon, taking Star (Perrine's horse) with us.
Besides all that it's not been that fun for me lately, lots of stress from not getting feedback from my supervisor for the Salome work, lots of applications I am making and potential decisions ahead. My GP prescribed me chemicals that I did not get. I was recommended an alternative medicine therapist and am probably seeing him in a few weeks (I took an appointment that I may not attend, dependng on my state of mind). He works with sounds, and colors, and essential oils...Who knows? I need self confidence and well-being.
Those are pretty flowers from seeds given by my US host mom the summer she visited. We sowed them in front of my parents' house where I have been staying rather more than I used to lately.
Which was nice 'cause I got to see an aunt and uncle I don't see that often:
It was such a nice day we could have lunch in the backyard, and have barbecue. I had made myself fish with sorrel leaves "en papillote" (which means wrapped in foil, if ever you wondered).
On a rather gloomy day compared to this one, my cousin took me to a nice tea-house.
She is discovering the Hello Kitty plastic tins I found for her (she's mad about Hello Kitty).
She got an espresso with speculoos (brown sugar cookies) crust cheesecake. I got this tea:
with pistachio and rasperry pie.
Today has been rainy, and I stayed home most of the time, working on Salome. And now I feel tired and need to prepare for this job interview I have on Wednesday morning. I applied to work as a coordinator for the libraries in the tiny little villages around the one I grew up in, in relation with the local main branch library.
I don't know exactly how I feel about it, but I'd rather not think ahead.
My dance gala is coming up in two weeks, and Nathalie will be visiting at this moment. I am seeing Anne-Sophie, back to her parents this week-end, Hoping to go to a show or another on Wednesday night after my dance class to make up for the Leo88man one I won't attend because it's the night before the interview...
All those pictures look so great I feel picky for still being bad at enjoying this bliss...
