castalieJust realised I'll be in London next week! How can the Ides of March be so close? o_O I have the feeling the month of March is going to get by way too quickly. Incidentally, I can't believe Cookie and I will be celebrating our fourth anniversary next week as well (in London ♥) Time is odd when you're (happy) in a relationship; you look back and think, four years already? Immediately followed with, surely there's been a mistake, we've been together for much longer than that, haven't we? ♥
Unrelated. This is not the Day in the Life meme being resurrected already but I had a lovely weekend - busy on Saturday then very relaxed on Sunday - and I thought I'd post a couple of pics of said Sunday. Let's call this the Whatever in the life meme. Week 1 ;)
I had brunch with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moimoietmoi in a lovely place called L'OisiveThé, a place where you can eat or, if you feel like, knit. I don't know about where you live but here knitting has made a come back and you can now find young people knitting for fun (case in point crazybutsound and her mad knitting skillz). Anyway, it's a pretty fun, chilled and colourful place. Small, though. Thankfully our timing was impeccable and we found two seats pretty quickly but it was packed. Then again, it's par for the course when trying to have brunch in Paris during the weekend; it's like the whole city (plus some deprived suburbans - don't even think of trying to find a place where to have brunch around here, such place doesn't exist) has the same goal.
Anyway, last week Cookie and I had English breakfast, this time it was more continental. And just as delicious. And copious.
First part of aforementioned brunch...
Second part.
When I mentioned the tea and the knitting. This is what I was talking about. On the shelves next to the tea...
... is yarn. This is a small part of their collection.crazybutsound could vouch for that, she caved in to temptation just the day before ;)
This has nothing to do with the salon de thé but I saw it on the way and I quite liked it. When pop culture and politics collide. The second poster is Nono from Ulysse 31 whose favourite kinda meals was nails and the caption says "In times of crisis, eat nails"
Aww, it felt good sorta revisiting the meme ;)
Going from one subject to another again; is anyone watching Vikings? Or, more precisely, has anyone watched the premiere as I I think there has been only one, or maybe two episodes yet? I'm not entirely sure... Someone on my TL posted about it and it made me curious enough to download it. I haven't had the time to watch it, though...

Knitting has always been quite popular in Sweden but yes, there's definitely been a big upsurge in the last year or so.

Funny how that works out, isn't it? It's a very nice hobby, admittedly, one which talented people can really have fun and do amazing things. And when it's not your thing, make sure to have a friend who's into it, then you can "take advantage" of her skills ;) Jem does some wonderful projects with her knitting and she's so generous with it, she's always working for others!

Date: 2013-03-05 06:35 pm (UTC)Aww, mate. Actually, it's not so much that our schedule will be pretty full because I always try to make room for my British friends living in the area - or for those who migrated there ;) - it's that this time we won't be on our own, we're actually going as a pack (parents, godfather&aunt, cousin, family friends) and since we're already abandoning them on Friday night to go see The Book of Mormon, I can't really do it again without feeling guilty. Which is why I haven't come to you immediately after booking our weekend there. Otherwise, I'd have asked you to organise a little something right away! I'd have been so very happy to see you again!
Hope you understand *hugs* Next time, though, next time!
