- making rocket salad pesto. thank-you emails from booksellers. a tiny piece of nougat after lunch
- receiving a Christmas card from Becca Quon all the way from the US
- i grated the top of my ring finger with my super-sharp cheese grater (actually really painful) ~ but: it healed so quickly and so well within just 24 hrs that i have to just marvel at my body’s self-healing abilities!
- the Christmas market at Stadtgarten, Cologne, full of pretty hip things & cheekily taking two of their mulled wine glass mugs home
- my beautiful new serving cart from IKEA which transforms my kitchen into a proper cottage kitchen! ♥
- making myself Sunday breakfast: fruit salad, one last boiled egg, fancy Earl Grey, toast and Mirabellen jam from Bonne Maman
