cream.of.the.day

it's about the time of the month, you received the envelop at your doorstep and little you know that there's a big surprise in the envelop for you. it's unbelievable for a start, then you know it's not at all impossible when you are serving an almighty God, that you know everything that you have accomplished is not by your own might or power but by the spirit of the Lord and the fact that God rewards those who labor...
you are over the moon, in fact more than over the mood consider the current economy situation and you joined the company for just less than a year, yet you have been rewarded with something that you never expect in your career life. literally impossible yet you are thankful for the generosity
lunch were something that you bought at the market a day before, it's getting so warm in the afternoon that you have no intention to cook anything (not that you can cook anything extravaganza).  just some leftover cold salad that you drizzle with olive oil and home grown thyme, and the fried fish from the market.
on a second note, you manage to bend down a bit to trim away the dried/dead flowers from your front and back garden. and the pink hydrangea is a bunch that you cut from your front garden ^^. you with you could do more in the garden but that's not possible at the moment and too warm under the temperature. 
dinner is usual, a steamed sea bream with lemon.  the sea bream is a courtesy from a girl friend who bought it at the fresh market and brought it to your home for you. bless her!
and a plate of stir fried bitter gourd with egg. you like the light bitterness in the dish, it's refreshing and a gentle reminder of reality that life is not often sweet all the time, but everything that happened to you is something that God intended.
chef is not a much a sweet tooth person, yet he suggested to drive to somewhere to grab ice cream as dessert. and for you, the idea is always welcome ^^.
to cool yourself down, he drove to den haag just go grab some quality ice cream.  and here is your choice of mango and choco-coconut. cooling and refreshing...

 a glimpse of you, 16 days post the surgery, you are now able to stroll around comfortably...
