Still with the weekend vibes. After my first proper post-lockdown weekly shop, I enjoyed coffee on the deck with the dog, who like so many pets in the world... has won the fur-baby powerball. We are around every minute of everyday, waking her up from her little doggy naps with our “aww she’s so cute!” We get right up in her squishy face wrinkles and coo our sweet nothings into her ears. I think that dogs don’t pine for lost things or get nostalgic for things they haven’t lost yet. But fingers crossed that’s true and she’s just lapping it all up without a drop of “long may it last”.
I finished the fastest ever top! Yay.
We did some middle of the road photography. This is Auric “bunny hopping” over the painted line.
Today we had 3 different FaceTime calls: two with local friends and one with a friend in CA. This is one of the silver linings of the global shutdowns.
Another silver lining: the kids cooking dinner-ish. Tonight’s menu was brought to us by Auric. It’s a mostly accurate and definitely yummy version of a Nadia Lim creamy pasta with bacon and a veggie (we switched up the veggie because the chef du jour thinks mushrooms are the worst). Things I doubt Nadia does in her kitchen:
• flip the stirring spoon in the air trying to perfect a cool catch about 20 times, dropping it 3 times before the sous chef loses her merde
• because the tempered glass lid of the sauce pan is hot to the touch, experiment with cooking pieces of bacon on top of the lid, again causing the above mentioned sous chef to “mon dieu!” until she’s bleu in the face
but you never know.
We ended the day with another family movie night, this one Spider-Man: Far From Home. This of course meant for that for the hour between the movie finishing and the actual and blissful quiet of bedtime, there was a boy in an old Spider-Man mask and compression under-armor, swinging, jumping and bounding from chin-up bars onto beds that just happens to be the setting of laundry-folding.
Me: Oi! I’m trying to put my clothes away.
Auric: Remember the illusion is just a hologram but the destruction is real.
