a.twenty.four.turnaround

a late saturday morning. you all woke up late and he whisked up a plate of brunch for you all...

 meaty brunch with grilled beef tartare, mushroom cheesy omelet and some greens

 while you baked a cherry clafoutis using the latest seasonal fruit - cheery... you wanted your friend to have a taste of european seasonal fruit...

 and hence a custard eggy clafoutis with a generous dash of kirsch, it's best served with vanilla ice but you only have a box of cherry ice cream and that has to do the work... you thoroughly enjoyed the hot and cold melting moments in your mouth.
with such a heavy brunch, you went to delft weekly antique market, as your friend is keen to search for some vintage crystal wine glass. as for you, you just to walk off the extra calories.

 the weather is fine, a little windy but enough sunshine to warm up the temperature. this is really the first time you stroll the antique market slowly, taking your time to search and admire the things that are nice but not necessary needed in life...

spring flowers are blooming

 bicycle and canal...

 a lot more bric-n-brac, the stalls are quite entertaining...

 A was in search for crystal wine glass, but there are not many of them, so you just browse through casually and occasionally spotted some highlights.

 peculiar things like these...

 a lamp that he likes and a crystal two tier that you like but no purchase were made... it's just nice to browse and touch ^^

you then rest your feet at this cafe that you usually visit whenever you stop by this city.  much to your disappointment they no longer serve the kusmi tea that you love, so you settle for a glass of chai latte heavily spiced with cinnamon...
and then off to the airport to bid good bye to your friend. it's a short and intense get together in less than 24 hours literally, but you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves and her presence...

it's late now, you are about to hit the sack, for tomorrow you will be on the flight again.
good night and have a blessed week ahead!
