I’m currently sat with the sun streaming through the window, and an icepack on my thigh. Rough with the smooth and all that. I think I’ve badly pulled my left quad muscles.. by tying my shoelace. I know, it’s ridiculous.
It happened this morning 5 minutes before a gym class, I knelt down to tighten my lace and must’ve been at a strange angle or something and BOOM, massive pain in my thigh & an onset of nausea. Greeeeeeat! I’m hoping it’ll be a speedy recover.
Moonstruck
Last night we watched Moonstruck, it’s the first time I’ve seen it and I really, really liked it. It had a feel of a Woody Allen movie to it, that kind of quirky romance with well timed quips and a backdrop of New York. It’s also rekindled my love for Young Nicolas Cage… & Cher’s hair. Have you seen it? I’d recommend it for a lazy Sunday afternoon movie (it’s on Netflix UK).
I didn’t give this its own post, but the bread I made this week was a wholemeal fruited number with an oat-dipped crust. However, I think my fresh yeast was on its last legs so the crumb wasn’t great. I’ll make this again and share the recipe as.. dun dun DUNNNN… I sort of made this up myself. Well, I based the bread part on another recipe BUT THE FRUIT WAS ALL MINE!
I’m really interested in taking this map design class, sounds like a perfect little project for my Paris trip. And it’s only $20 to sign-up, sold!
Bri has started a new column about blogged, it’s a fun read for those who blog and want tips on making the process better/easier. This week’s was all about shooting DIY projects.
Holly blogged about her process of taking photos and transferring them directly to her iPad for editing – how cool! I’ve been looking at the eye-fi cards on and off for a while, still not sure I can justify the expense even though that have come down a lot.
Miguel & Carrie’s 5 minute filthy burgers look delicious, right?! Mmm… burgers…
I stayed on Rue Beaurepaire when I was in Paris last and did a lot of those things! Du Pain et Des Idees is brilliant, buy the ‘l’escargot’ pastries :)
That map drawing class looks fantastic, I reckon I’ll sign up myself!
Yay!
That bread looks fantastic! I’ve recently delved into baking and my favourite thing to make right now is banana bread. Have to give regular bread a go some time (:

I can’t recommend the eye-fi. it actually slows my whole camera down – autofocus and between shots – quite noticeably. I definitely wouldn’t use it while out and about. It’s pretty fiddly to set up too, I still barely have it working :/
yikes – that’s no good! I don’t think it’s something I will be investing in any time soon :/
