Saturday morning i slept unitl 11 am ! Apparently i needed that sleep and my cats felt that too, so they didn’t wake me up at 9 am as they usually do on weekends.
Breakfast and then i cleaned up the apartment. Unspectacular, but necessary.

Then, i made another huge batch of strawberry muffins. 32 pieces. Most of them i deep-froze for later consumption.
For dinner i had green asparagus with potatoes. Yum.

On sunday, i was hyper-lazy, just reading, napping with my furry pals most of the day. But for dinner i made pizza muffins with a (store bought) taco salsa. Very delicious !
Today, so far just some healthy breakfast, finishing a book on my Kindle and listening to Max and Gelly snoring while they do what they do best….napping.
Not a spectacular weekend, but i got the rest i needed. A short work-week ahead, before i go pick up my new dining table and chairs next saturday !

It’s the month of long weekends !
Past weekend a friend came over for the weekend to stay. We did a nice shopping trip to Annecy where we found out by chance that there is a Zara Home (!) after having a peek into Maisons du Monde, one of my favourites as you can find different stuff from what you usually find in Switzerland. A nice change, and a lot less expensive ( the euro is very low at the moment ).
A trip to Vevey followed the next day , walking aroung the town center, some more little shopping ( hey, we’re girls !!), and hanging out at Vevey Plage for an iced coffee. Then we took the road at the lake side back home. Lucky with summery and sunny weather we enjoyed the ride in her cabrio ( open, of course). For dinner we went out to eat the best Filets de Perches in the area. Yumm.
So, what’s up this three-day-weekend ? Well, forecasts aren’t terrrible, so i’m looking forward to quiet weekend at home, getting some stuff done on this blog, working on my photos and other things for the future, reading, sleeping, being lazy.
And i intend to treat myself to a relaxing home-spa-afternoon ( bubble-bath, pedicure, facial mask, etc…)
I’ll keep you updated ( with some pics i guess ).
See ya’ !

This weekend, the weather suddenly cooled down a lot, it rained, it’s windy and unconfortable outside. Never mind, i’ve got some stuff done at home.
On my to-do-list for this weekend:
Switch out winter / summer clothes in my closet, do the laundry, iron the laundry, make some rhubarb-compott, bake a banana bread, finish reading the book, relax, upload photos to Flickr, file some papers.
Just need to do the ironing, and i’m done !
The banana bread turned out to be delicious ! Not too sweet, not too dry, perfect (ha, i’m proud of myself !).
About three weeks ago i finally decided to order a Kindle reading pad at Amazon. You know, i read quite a lot and buy a lot of books. But most of them ( the novels, thrillers, etc. ) i only read once and then the books become dust traps on my shelves. And they start to take up a lot of space. Usually i go through them regularely and pass them on to a co-worker who will read them and then pass them on to her sisters. That’s ok, at least i don’t have to throw them away, as it is difficult to resell german books when you live in a french-speaking area. So, now, with the Kindle, i can save a lot of space, i can take a lot of books on holidays without worrying about the weight of them. The display is very close to printed pages, and your eyes don’t get tired as they would usually when you’re a lot in front of a computer. I love it !
It has been, well, still is actually, a nice weekend. Got some stuff done, but without stressing.
How was your weekend ? What did you do ?

You see, beautiful toilets are available: Toto’s Waza Miyabi Plum Tree Toilet.
Seen here, and available here.

I just love, love, love this idea for a clothes hanger ! This would work also for an adult’s bedroom or for an entry hall.
I found it here, a nursery designed by Belinda of the Happy Home Blog.

Love the calm atmosphere of this vignette. Exactly what i need now, after a 21 hour stay in Berlin. But that will have to wait until the weekend … well, just one more day to work until then.
