Tonight.... a good ending to a somewhat crappy day
Carmen
So, after a busy day at the office – while the sun is shining outside and I can hear all those damn tourists having such a grand time, all the while I’m looking forward to riding my bike home, dreaming of enjoying the waning sun on my 40 minute ride home – I go say hello to my bike and find a flat tire. Damn. A bit disappointing. I really can’t be too upset though. I live in such a great place that even if my ride home gets a flat I can hop on a train that will get me home in 10 minutes and a nice boyfriend to pick me up at the train station. C’est la vie. And then I saw this!
View out of my living room window - nice!
So then, obviously, it was time for a lovely cocktail…
I chose "The Boulevardier". It was invented in 1927.
Ingredients: Bourbon, Campari and Sweet Vermouth
Delicious!
Max made a really good dinner of sausages, turnips and carrots. And now I’ve decided that this has been the best day ever. Wish you were here!
