* some time in the kitchen. to use some of the many many pears from the yard (seems like it's a good year for fruits here because we have tons of grapes too), baking this & making some cinnamon & pear sauce
* enjoying a few hours of blue sky in the yard
* one hour of swimming at the pool
* trying to finish my weekly sewing (photos taken when i'm back) before i pack my travel bag (monday) for a short break here
* crocheting my favorite autumn color this evening while watching one of my fave chilhood kitschy tv movies -- thank you CBS action (i also used to be a fan of the avengers & charlie's angels -- don't you enjoy to be taken back in time like that ?!!)
Lovely pictures&colours&plans! And how nice to have a pear tree in your own yard..! And grapes too! I'm bit jealous - we have only apples and plums,nothing that exotic..and all trees are already empty. Well,maybe I could try to find few apples for a pie,after reading your baking plans I'm in a mood for baking too:)
ReplyDeleteWhat are you crocheting? Looks pretty!
Have a nice weekend and even better trip! That place looks amazing!
Your weekend contained so many lovly elements. It's always nice when we get to do the things we like.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy Ireland, I've never been there but it must be beautiful! Tu vas nous faire de magnifiques photos.
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ce jaune que tu crochètes. C'est pour un plaid?
Et je suis nostalgique de Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir! J'adorais cette série.
The weekend plans sound lovely, very much recharging the batteries stuff, which is what I have decided my weekends need to be in future, to balance work.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have a great time in Ireland, I'm back online so leave a comment on my blog or a message in Rav if you have anymore questions about Ireland and I'll do my best to answer!
Will it be mostly around the Killarney area you'll be or in Limerick?
regards

Bonsoir ! Merci pour votre petit mot, ça fait plaisir ! Je crois avoir déjà pointé mon nez ici, mais je viens de feuilleter chaque page avec plus d'attention : j'aime beaucoup les photos, qui ont toutes quelque chose de singulier qui les rend vivantes, le cadrage, la lumière, les couleurs... ;-)
ReplyDeletejust popping in to tell you that this weekend included a two-day sewing course. I have a lot to learn, but at least I have started the journey :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason your blog keeps falling out of my blog reader. And that is a no no. I love your blog. I'll add you ince again and hope this time your blog will stick to my reader.
ReplyDeleteI have never had cinnamon and pear sauce, but it sounds lovely. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOui, "mantequilla" c'est "beurre". Do you show us those recipes???
