Saturday night in. Soupe à l'oignon, French bread, Camembert lait cru, Vieux Mimolette, a vintage Rioja that's like silk, reading by the fire and listening to my new clock ticking!

"Well, Flora, at the risk of sounding like a complete curmudgeon..."
"Ah, yes, but Sebastian is known for his curmudgeonly take on life..."

Waking up to the smell of sizzling bacon.
Mc D's double cheeseburgers.
Ed's Diner's peanut butter malt milkshakes.
Dry, empty, twisty roads.
Getting a cross map tomahawk kill in Call of Duty.
