castalieI promise I'm not going to talk about the snow forever and ever but we've had more snow this weekend than we had in a long time and it's sticking and it's actually started snowing again this morning (still is as I'm typing this - apparently, they've forecast some more during the week), which is an event as it usually doesn't happen around Paris. I'm just... very excited about it ;)
Snow was a hindrance yesterday, though, if you wanted to go anywhere by public transport or by cars, which means that we had to cancel the afternoon tea we'd planned with The Esu and family friends but turns out it gave Cookie and I the opportunity to spend an afternoon strolling in the park near my parents' place (said park were closed, admittedly, but parts of the fence were missing so that's where people got in *cough*) and it was like being transported miles away! I had hearts in my eyes the whole duration of our little stroll, I swear, it didn't feel like we were in the suburbs of Paris. There were few people so it felt as if we were alone in the world, though there were people sledging in some parts of the park and we even saw two dudes with snowboards lol
We walked for around two hours and it was magical *happy sigh* Then we got home and had a mini-afternoon tea with my parents (don't think I've mentioned it, btw, but we're staying at theirs' for a couple of weeks as we're doing some renovations in our flat). It wasn't the whole menu we'd planned (with carrot cake and Kaiserschmarrn) but we still treated ourselves with some of it, meaning biscuits, chocolate, mulled wine for my parents and Cookie and milk with whipped cream on top for me. The fire crackled in the fireplace, the garden was all white, the snow was still falling... it was such a perfect kind of Sunday ♥
Today is faring as well for me as I took the day off (to make up for my working on Saturday). I read a bit in bed this morning and I'm now back to my New Favourite Place in the House, ie in front of the window, facing the garden, while I'm typing this. Life? Is good ;)
As I'm wont to do, here be some pictures of our little stroll - you'd never believe this is Choisy-le-Roi!

Now, I think I'm going to resume my second watching of Arrow. I've started last night and my love for Diggle/Ollie grows exponentially with each viewing. Rewatching those early scenes between the two was a delight; it's clear that Oliver understands, even if it's just guts instinct at this point, that he needs Diggle and I love that Diggle gets to him so quickly. If someone needs a boyfriend who will, at the same time, not take any of his shit but still try to take care of him, it's Oliver Queen! And diggle is definitely the man for the job ;)
