Today's Happiness Is

A grilled cheese sandwich, glass of dry French rosé and a Henning Mankell novel: The Man Who Smiled. The weather has turned cool(er) and drizzly which is a relief after the yesterday's heat. Peter baked the potatoes I bought at the market yesterday and I scarfed them with salmon and creme fraîche. I spent hours on cleaning house today and finally feel as though I'm close to catching up on it. Although I am on a week off, I end up spending a lot of time on e-mails fielding volunteer requests.
