castalieDespite yesterday being Saturday and therefore being supposedly protected by the weekend aura, it wasn't such a great day. Nothing bad happened at all, just lots of tiny frustrations which were, well, frustrating ;)
Today was different, though, thankfully. No frustrations at all, only a lovely time all around. I went to the Marchés flottants in Paris, a small market of traditional/regional products from south-east of France. We had ourselves a little picnic on the bank of the Seine composed of foie gras sandwich and croustade Gasconne plus melon for desserts. It was as delicious as it sounds.
Then because we weren't stuffed enough apparently, we went to our favourite geek bar in Paris (ok, maybe the only one), le Dernier Bar Avant la Fin du Monde, where we played Dobble while eating ice cream and sipping hot drinks. My Sunday more than made up for my Saturday :)
My Sunday in pictures:
The market on the quai de la Tournelle
So they all those regional products including foie gras, magrets de canard as well as...
... snails! Yes, they sold snails, too. Damn, it smellt so incredibly good around that booth ;)
The little picnic I mentioned :)
The weather was splendid, which made lunch so incredibly pleasant.
Delicious, delicious croustade.
Then we headed to the Last Bar Before the End of the World
Where we just lazed around in their oh so comfy and cozy furniture :)
Ate ice creams, I just love their ice cream menu ("So Hoth", ha)
And played games - well, ok one game, but as you can see they have a lot of them
Such a lovely Sunday :)
Apart from that, I was listing the shows I intend to watch this Fall and found out that Ray Donovan was not, in fact, part of the new grid, as it started airing back in June! I heard about that show just last week and it piqued my curiosity. This was a pleasant surprise, though, as I downloaded all the episodes and started watching them right away - or should I say "started mainlining" them. I couldn't stop after just the premiere, nor could I after the second. I'm halfway through the season now (sleep? Mouse has no sleep. Mouse needs no sleep!) so far and really enjoying it. What can I say, fucked-up characters with fucked-up family dynamics are two of my tv kryptonites.
Is anyone else watching? There are only two episodes left in the season, one of them tonight, so it'll be over soon, anyway. Though we'll get a second season, from what I could read.
And happy new Welcome to Night Vale day to you, listeners! Seeing the new episode appears on iTunes is a thing of beauty \o/
