Kesän lempidrinkkimme on ollut Spritz Aperol, kevään Venetsian matkamme uusi tuttavuus. 

Siirtolapuutarhamme terassilla Spritzin kanssa maistuu itse leivottu leipä, 

omatekoinen tapenade ja hummus, uunipaprikat 

ja Hakaniemen hallista mukaan napatut italialainen salami, Parman kinkku sekä Manchego..

What ho, no, not the bird

Lord Bosham: "'Then, by Jove', he said, 'this bird is the bird, after all! I thought for a while,' he explained, 'that he couldn't be the bird, but now you've told this it's quite clear he must be the bird. The bird in the flesh, By Jingo! Well, I'm dashed!'"

I don't see what you're grinning about

In the winter one must sometimes wear some clothing..

Bean laughing at Crumpet in bed: "You're like some cartoon character: a shirt, but no pants on."

Talvella on joskus pakko pukea ylleen..
