My half-day out

Well, actually just the morning, and even that included some serious grocery shopping, but I enjoyed it very much anyway.

My friend Eenie and I have this ritual that we go to some fancy café once in every summer, and that was today. Not because of the coffee itself, which is usually overpriced, but for the environment and for the relaxing and stuff. This time we went to the Café Frei in the Savoy Park shopping centre. As you can see, it is a very pretty place:



I had a Wiener Kapuziner and she had a Black Forest coffee dessert, which looked delicious; I'll try that one next time.

And since we were next to the Auchan supermarket anyway, I did a serious amount of shopping, too. Eenie very generously offered to chauffeur me and my acquisitions home, so I bought all those things that are heavy and hard to haul home on the tram: cleaning things, mineral water, boxed milk, lots of yogurt and the likes. So we are covered for quite some time with those.

Fortunately, I didn't have to cook today. We had the last of the leftover soup and the veggie burgers, plus some banana bread and even some ice cream, which was nice. Tomorrow I'll have to think of something. Perhaps some lemon chicken will be in order. We'll see.

Edit: I just got the e-mail that one of our retired colleagues died last night. We weren't exactly friends, but we've worked together for near twenty years and she lived two streets away, so we often took the bus home together and chatted frequently. She was quite a few years older than I am, but still...
