La vi en rose

Just need to show you this pink dream I came across on my last weekend...

First, I started the day with meeting up a friend at Les Halles, to go swim. After 1000 meters we were proud of ourselves and happy. We went to meet up our boys at Rue Montorgueil for some well-deserved lunch. A spicy green curry was my choice at a nice little thai-restaurant. After that I felt completely exhausted -due to the swimming of course- so I decided to go home and get some sleep. On my way to the metro I passed several inviting chocolateries and patisseries, especially one of them was too charming not pay a visit...


I bought a lovely macaron cake with raspberries and rose water. I love the nice details, like the "water drop" on the rose petal and the gold tray its served on. ;)

Served with strong lavazza coffee with warm milk



In the evening, when I felt alert again my guy and I went to the movies, Iron Lady was our pick for the night. It was a good movie, Meryl Streep was great as always, however we both thought it would be more historical and teaching. Some more "hard facts" about what she did so to speak. There were more focus on her as a person. Aging, reminiscing and accepting the death of her husband etc. I can still recommend it though, as a drama it's good and moving, but do not expect to know a lot about the work of Margaret Thatcher after seeing it... 

I'm also gonna share my breakfast from the following day. Including the paper and all! Feels like a proper sunday breakfast when you're adding the daily news paper.


Now I'm gonna defy this rainy weather and go out and buy myself a crepe!

Bon mercredi,

Bisou!
