Girl talk

I was fortunate to have a three day weekend. Also, the weather that had been gloomy and chilly all month finally let some sun through for a couple days.

I took advantage of my Saturday off to pay a visit to the dentist for cleaning. I rewarded my good behavior by picking up a half dozen doughnuts afterward. (That's why the dentist is a block from the doughnut shop, right?)

In the evening, I attended another Indian food cooking class, where I learned to make potato masala dosa. SO GOOD. I stuffed myself so full that I could barely walk home when the class ended.

I spent Sunday morning tidying up a bit for company. In the afternoon, I went to the train station to pick up gnine, who will be staying with me for two weeks while she attends workshop classes in San Francisco. We chatted the rest of the evening and ended the night by trying out my copy of Incredible Expeditions.

Today, after she left to attend her first day of class, I did some grocery shopping and then returned home to spend a few hours weeding the back yard. Ordinarily, I would have been harvesting cherries and figs by now, but the weather has been so cold and gray all month that nothing is ripe yet. Hopefully the garden will be more interesting in a couple weeks.
