Walked to the open air market a block from my place this morning to have some espresso. While there I bought some fancy Italian cheeses and really flavorful Greek olive oil. On the way home I stopped by an antique book store and bought a lovely looking collection of Norwegian new realism fictions from 1920 to gift to a friend of mine (but im going to read it first).
Now I'm waiting for the spaghetti dough to rest as my dad prepares a cheese plate for us to eat as we wait
I'm really in my thriving era omg I love this city and neighborhood
I was feeling a bit sluggish after that lunch, so my parents and fiancee and I walked about ten minutes away to a park with 300 year old trees
We rested in the shade as a cool breeze blew through, there was a hellish heatwave yesterday but last night we had a thunderstorm that broke the fever and now it was a nice 23°c
We read and walked and chatted with strangers for two or so hours before lazily walking back home. I feel, so satisfied and relaxed and at peace
