Hallarons

Gotta use beautiful sketches this close to halloween.

Bro and his gf came and went, we ate in, ate out, saw the cathedral, the castle and the city. It was really nice, if anyone else is thinking about visiting, you're more than welcome. Especially if you bring some wine with you. I'm baking some dark greyish blue macarons for the halloween monster cake tomorrow, so stay tuned for pretty pictures. Roomie hatched the splendid plan that we should eat tortillas tomorrow. 

There were no objections.

Screens Stencils Space

Today I had my first shot at screenprinting. The workshop was really crowded first, I heard someone say that there are 22 people in our group. After the technician announced that everyone doesn't need to be there on Tuesdays, and that you really only need to get two prints done in the five weeks the course lasts there suddenly was plenty of space to work.

Magic.

Not that it bothers me, I like having space.

Green thumb

But, I don't know if I have thumbs!

Ahem.

I just planted garlic, spring onions and carrots in the garden! So in a couple of months we'll have five fresh vegetables to eat, if lucky! We had a friend (and Finnishfriend) over for lunch and cake today, as she had her birthday recently, she brought leftover christmas crackers with her, so I got to crack one for the first time.

I got a set of tiny cute screwdrivers (quite useful!) and the best joke ever:

Why do ghosts live
in the fridge?

Because it's cool

Hmmm.

Oh yeah, and green thumb reminds me on an old PC game called Green Thumb Cards (oh my god, you can apparently get it for free nowadays, we just had a trial version back then). The game was about managing a garden, you plant flowers and so on. Then you could attack your rivals' gardens with different pests, and if they had (the right kind of) pesticide they could repel the attacks. They could attack you too. What you could do was determined by the hand of cards you had. . . oh gosh, it was so good! Oh yeah, the objective with attacking another's garden was stealing their flowers, because, if I recall correctly, when you had enough of the same type of flower they became sort of "protected" and no one could steal them anymore.

Such were the days.

Double Decker

London was nice. Someone's legs are going to hurt tomorrow.


I ate Fish and Chips for the first time in my life. Quite nice, actually. We got a delicious garlic sauce instead of mayonnaise, because they were out of the latter.
