Now that I have a day to myself each week , the world's grown a bit and I can go to Groningen again for a couple of hours .
Just long enough to wander past the museum and through the town enjoying the sun , finding odd corners and playing the 'what would it be like to live in this street ' game
Rummaging for second hand CDs in the recycling shop to play at least once ... the soundtrack from a French film about Seville
and Verdi's Il Trovatore with Leontyne Price this time , both to be played again .
A 'Seventies relic which I bore off in triumph , much to the surprise of the junk shop's owner ... "It doesn't go any more " he warned . Good , these always had a deafening tic and only a masochist would repair it but I couldn't resist it for a Euro , could I ?
Treating myself to a quarter of exceedingly fruity Apple and Hibiscus tea and a cheerful Father Christmas tin to keep it in , lest the whole flat smells of it .
Buying good bread , runny cheese and tiny sweet tomatoes for supper and running to the train clutching a ham baguette . Putting my feet up in the evening with that morning's paper and a cup of gorgeously pink hibiscus tea .
Nothing earth-shattering ... just fun .

Love your alarm clock!
Fun is good. In fact, very good. I play the 'What would it be like to live there?' game, too. Excellent purchases, by the way.
Love the clock, but I would definitely get it repaired. So cool!
As for tea, I'm just now enjoying my "Keep Calm and Carry On" English Breakfast Tea. It really is just like the tea across the pond! (No other tea they sell in the US is anything like it.)
Sounds like a blissful sort of day!
