Wednesday, 5 things TODAY


  1.  Sweet potato brownies. Third day and tasted better than yesterday. Baked without buckwheat this time. 
  2. Library. It's in the top 5 of my fave places here in Geneva and where I meet Albom,Coben, Mankell, Murakami, Nesbo even Gilbert and Patchett. 
  3. Mobility. I am learning and getting the hang of it. Making some progress. Thank you. 
  4. Italian. Been wanting to learn italian for a long, long time. It started years ago when we camped in Tarquinia for a week. Then other things happened and learning another language took a back seat. Nonetheless, it's never too late to learn anything. That's why,  I read 5-10 pages of an italian book.  I do not understand everything nonetheless familiarizing myself with vocabularies and phrases will help me a great deal, I know. 
  5. Silence. I usually turn the radio on while cooking or cleaning up in the kitchen. Nonetheless, I have been without any radio or music for some days now. I'd like the calm and serenity of just doing, and concentrating on the task at hand. Of course, there are times that I want to listen to Les Dicodeurs or Librairie Francophone or even Côté Jardin which used to be Monsieur Jardinier yet turning the radio off and being silent keeps me centered and present.
and today is a good day. I am thankful.

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin
