A drizzly, busy week. The last week before I change jobs. Both scary and super exciting. But for now, a few happy moments:
1. Long black in Notes before work
2. Coming home to a delicious supper thanks to B
3. No more scaffolding on our windows (it's been months waiting for it to come down!)
4. Finishing Ruth Ozeki's A Tale for the Time Being
5. Week night dinner at Le Coq with maman et papa...

Barcelona Breakfast #2
It is fair to say that our estimations of Spanish breakfasts had been greatly improved by the first days excitement. We thought nothing would match it. In search of the best food...

Barcelona Breakfast #1
I am a morning person. And a breakfast person. This always seems to prove a problem when travelling. I've been known to carry kilos of oats with me on trips abroad in the hope...

El Kiosko Universal
It was a Thursday afternoon. It was my birthday. 23rd. And I'd just received a job offer. And we'd just arrived in Barcelona. I'll tell you more about the rest of that some other...

We ran away from the cold on Thursday. It was my birthday, do I need more of an excuse than that? So, there's lots of big things that have made me happy cette semaine, but here are a few of the smaller ones:
1. Left over Green Kitchen Stories baked carrot cake oatmeal for breakfast on Monday
2. Strong coffee at Violet Cakes first thing on Tuesday morning
3. A massive breakthrough in yoga... I've...

Baked Carrot Cake Oatmeal
So many bloggers seem to be talking about fancy breakfasts at the moment. And not breakfasts they've gone out for for lack of being bothered to be creative at home that early...

Bristol: Number 38, Bell's Diner, Boston Tea Party
It's taken me a while to sit down and write this post. It was meant to appear some time last week, when the memories where still fresh in my head. But the week passed, and I found...

The Pavilion Café
When we're not getting up as quickly (which, it turns out, is never very quickly) as my body allows on a weekend morning for a quick jog round the park before breakfast and a power-walk...

A grey, rainy week - 5 little things that have kept me positive the last few days:
1. Being on featured on the lovely That Adventurer's blog as her Foto Friday today. (Thank you Hannah!)
2. The Great British Sport Relief Bake Off. So glad to have the bake off back on TV, even if it is only temporarily.
3. Porcini risotto for a weeknight supper with friends
4. Accidentally leaving the radiator...

Chocolate Meringues
I haven't baked enough recently. Numerous excuses have come my way: too much work, too tired, other things I should be doing, don't feel very well, still not unpacked, should...

Apologies to have missed out on last week's 5 moments. I was away skiing in the permanently snowing mountains and had no idea what day of the week it was. I'm now longing for that freedom from time, where I have just the snowflakes and their silent falling to think about as I swoosh down the slopes. Back to reality on Monday it was, and here are five little things that have kept me chirpy this week:

Spiced Ginger Loaf
Dad's birthday falls in that awkward, gangling, teenage gap which separates Christmas and New Year. And it's a tad to close to New Year's Eve for most people's liking. So in this...

January's to-do list
The beginning of a new year, I feel I should have more than just my usual monthly wish list. But I'm in a strange position to be starting the new year, and my new year should really be starting in February, so any life changes and resolutions will be put on hold till then... But for this month:
1. Lots of Gaudí and tapas during a weekend in Barcelona (time to get my University Spanish back up to...
