This whole last week was fast and furious : ) Let's start from the very beginning. On Wednesday evening, I decided to decorate the appartment of our British-American couple of friends who were coming back (after 6 months) from the US to Sicily for the winter season to get rest after the taxing summer (they own an agrotourism back in the US). I asked my very crafty and talented friend to help me a bit. And this was the result of our efforts:
Then on Friday evening I made these for dinner : ) Real Bavarian sausages rolled in puff pastry. Easy and tasty : )
On Saturday we went to the cinema to see UP. I was absolutely thrilled to see it (together with hundreds of people aged 2-14) and to my amazement, it met my high expectations! : ) I cried 3 times during the film. And you were right it's both for parents and children : ) Well, I don't belong to neither of these categories but I loved it the same : )
In the end I went to do some shopping on Sunday morning: ) I bought a skirt, a long-sleeved top (by Esprit) and a pair of black leather shoes.
In the evening we went to our boy-friend (actually it's a colleague of our friend, who became our very good friend) who invited us for dinner. We had paella.. and lots of fun. Take a look at the beautiful decorations he chose for the evening! They even match the colour of the walls perfectly! : ) that's not a small thing for a single! Speaking of which, do you remember Ania, my Polish friend who came to visit me in Sicily in August this year. Well, she's single too... I have some ideas... : )
No, he didn't make this cake. It was bought in a local pasticceria and was absolutely delicious (chocolate and pistache)
And this is what we saw near our friend's appartment. In the autumn and winter, cats love to lie on scooters which has been just rdden and still have a warm engine.. : )
Have a wonderful week everyone!

ReplyDeleteDeva: Yes, that's true, I polish off lots of food, and most of the times I eat really late, therefore you can see I'm not on a diet... never.. BUT in order to be satisfied with my look, I need to go to the gym 2-3 times a week... No one is perfect : )
ReplyDeleteJordan: Absolutely! You need to come so that I can prepare lunches and dinners and maybe finally someone will appreciate and share my love for hot steaming soups!
Ana: Thanks, Ana, I must say in Italy it's really rare to go to a shoe shop and leave empty-handed.. : )
Sarah & Al: Really?! I'd love to play cupid for you! : ) Just give me some time, I'll try to find you Italian Mr Rights : ))
