Cozy evenings

When the rain is pouring down and the air turns crispier, there really isn't much you can do (except buy plane tickets elsewhere) to avoid the fact that autumn is here. After the long, hot and sunny summer I feel like embracing the cooler weather and the grey skies. No red or orange leaves yet but soon, soon they will be clogging the gutter and turning into a brown mash that sticks to your shoes.

On a brighter note, the darker the evenings get, the better excuse I have for lighting candles.

Then there are things like apple pie and tea and friends and rererereruns of the Black Adder.

Apple pie recipe will follow, now I'm off to bed as I'll be working tomorrow... as usual.

Last days of summer

Here are the pictures of the outfit I wore last week when I went to town with Maria. Having woken up relatively early that morning, I opted for a relaxed and comfy outfit. It was a lovely and sunny day but as it was not extremely hot, I could wear the cardigan I knitted last winter. The romper was a sales find from Bik Bok back in June, I think. Most of my summer clothes were still in the Netherlands and I needed something I could just throw on and head to the beach. I have been wearing it quite a lot, as it's both cute and comfy.

It's already September and summer seems to be over. There are still some golden days left but it has been raining a lot more lately. Not that it makes any difference when you're working. I've surprised even myself by working almost every day this past week. I really don't know whether it's because of the money or because I don't feel like sitting at home while everyone else is either studying or at work. Maybe a little of both. I do however intend on clearing up a little more space in my calendar for my blog. (and your blogs, I really need to catch up!) We'll see how far my intentions bring me...

Anyways, I wish you all a wonderful week!
