Simple Pleasures

ceitfiannaI will post more pictures possibly tonight. For now I'm just feeling happy after spending an hour or so at a nice cafe finishing a book by a favorite author outside of their normal genre, The Spirit Ring by Lois McMaster Bujold. I really enjoyed it since she looks at history with a touch of magic and the idea of church sanctioned magic. It was quite helpful to me since it dealt with metalworking, which will be useful for Sameth and the idea of imbuing things within metal.
Recently I watched The Young Victoria for the first time and adored it, I watched it twice before I sent it back. I've always had a great fondness for beautifully done costume drama and that was one. The feel of the romance and the politics was perfect for me. I liked that in Bujold's book too, the romance and interactions felt real and messy.
In cooking news, the weird cherry pitter that my parents bought for me actually works really well. I think this weekend I might investigate cherry and banana bread recipes, hopefully this isn't a weird combination but I think it should work. I just set to steeping a pot of peach iced tea for some homemade iced tea so my house smells of peaches.
Tomorrow I get my internship stuff sorted for the end of the summer and next semester. I would love it if I could have a day or a few days off before the semester truly starts, but that probably won't happen. So I'll find my pleasures in food, books, good things to watch and wonderful people. Now to go write my tag on the current Sameth OOM as I finally feel properly awake and relaxed today.
