Apologies for being inactive the last few days; I assisted in a youth camp, whose participants were mostly high schoolers. Lots of hiking, games and obstacle courses, races and relays, and getting drenched and muddied. Mighty fun but I might need a nice long spa day in the next couple days haha.
Anyway, this morning my brothers and I woke up extra early to prepare a mother’s day breakfast-in-bed for my mom— coffee, cheese and mushroom omelette, peanut butter pancakes with bananas, and fresh flowers.
PS, Happy Mother’s Day to all your moms!
Breaking the fast (GoT term right there) with milk and butter topped with hagelslag on toast.
Breakfast.
Also, I’m starting on a new book, The Elegance of the Hedgehog (or its original L’élégance du hérisson) by Muriel Barbery, which generally revolves around two narrators’ viewpoints, so the perspectives switch between a 45-year-old woman and a 12-year-old girl. It’s quite unconventionally written, and there are a lot of references about art, philosophy, literature and whatnot, mixed in with personal conflict.
I’ve gone through the first 50 pages and enjoying it so far, which is saying a lot because I’ve never really been patient with philosophy.
