the first day of spring brought such bad things as:

1. the lovely and amazing cafe zoe up the road having black bean and spinach soup on the menu, but no longer in the kitchen, because although the winter menu had changed to the spring menu, they hadn’t printed them up yet. in truth, this was only a bit sad for a little while because the ensuing second breakfast of a spinach and poached egg english muffin with grilled-in-butter mushrooms and a mesclun salad more than redeemed the situation.

2. nellie flying back to new york, which was such a sad bad thing that we began saying “ok… well…” and “goodbye” yesterday afternoon so that we’d be used to it by the time today came around. in addition we had to have first breakfasts (actually the second course of first breakfast) of ice cream sundaes to cheer ourselves up.

the sundaes were composed of a perfunctory layer of tim tam ice cream, strawberries, vanilla ice cream, strawberries, more vanilla ice cream and strawberries, crushed lebanese date biscuits, vanilla ice cream, shaved chocolate and strawberries.

3. coming out of two and a half hours of birth class to discover that it is raining, and arriving home to find all the laundry that was oh so close to sundried is now close to sopping wet. at least now i know how to swaddle a baby.

4. my sister not being here.

    thanks, kind lady!

    in fact one of the components of the spinach and egg muffin breakfast was a hot chocolate. we had our chins on the table by the time the waitress brought it around, but then i took a spoonful of milk foam sprinkled with chocolate, and then she took one, and immediately we felt better. and then the bacon arrived!

    chris: indeed it was a tasty sundae with lots of flavours dancing on our tongues. 😉 hee, you only comment when i post dessert pictures.

    ms amber: thank you, the chin is generally up, with only sporadic sagging during the course of the day.

    the knitted placenta was aaages ago. now we’re up to the felty breast with the secret pullcord in the back to simulate inverted nipples! 😀
