always ready with a smile ...

















i am on leave from my driving job for a week and so it is possible for us to enjoy some conversation in the morning whilst the doyenne of multi-tasking a.k.a the loved one is cheerily doing her chores and simultaneously getting ready to make a dash to her work place ... i hope she didn't hear me grumbling by the wardrobe today

"what the devil do think you're playing at putting your girly socks in MY sock drawer ?"

ice cream seventh heaven


















the loved one made a compote of blackberries and blueberries using a little bit of demerara sugar

she served it to me in a small dish it with two scoops of lime and coconut ice-cream

the final killer touch that blew it and me into the fifth dimension was that half a teaspoon of italian licore di limone

stuff ... and a certain person
