...the light has been so good during these last weeks, outside and especially in our home. I am really grateful for that, as there has been lots of work for school; many days barely getting up from my desk. When there's light it's not so bad.
Right now I have an ugly cold and winter seems to have arrived. It was supposed to snow today, but for now nothing's happened. Everybody's talking about the last time it snowed, remembering the exact day (8 march 2010)...it's really something extraordinary here.
My parents are coming for dinner tonight; after 6 months in the new place we finally got a table! I'm making pumpkin with chickpeas and basmati rice, and carrot cake; from recipes by my two best British friends, Nigel Slater and Dan Lepard. Stupid detail: with my congested nose I can't taste anything today...
I hope you're fine and wish you a nice weekend. Will you send me some snow if there is any where you are?
Those carrots! I'm hoping they're the ones that will go into your cake. Everything about these photographs/your academic drudgery resonates closely with my current life.
ReplyDeleteich könnte dir ein bisschen Schnee schicken... :D
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend, too!
i send you some snow-thoughts from here in göteborg - although the snow we have here is just leftover from two weeks ago, so i am wishing for some more too! i hope we both get lucky soon :)
ReplyDeleteThe light on those carrots & radishes!
ReplyDeleteIt snowed here in Montpellier yesterday afternoon but didn't settled. Still it was pretty.
Hope you have a snowy weekend!
i agree, beautiful light! what a lovely set.
ReplyDeleteheute morgen, als ich aus dem fenster geschaut habe, war die straße weiß - zum ersten mal in diesem winter! ich bin aber ganz froh, dass wir bisher verschont geblieben sind, in den letzten jahren war es einfach zu viel...
ich hoffe, dir geht es wieder etwas besser.
wonderful wonderful set!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJana! you won my blog birthday giveaway! send me your address so I can send you your prize!
ReplyDeleteLovely Palo Alto. Seasoning food when having a cold is a bit difficult, I find. Good luck with dinner.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was: wow, what a light. I think you really achieved to capture in your pictures what you described in your post!
