Pinky French Friday





I am not going to France; I just have been keeping these images since the middle of the week thinking this glamorousness would only suit to Friday. Although its a doubt how one would survive the week in full glamour is unkown to me; but Friday sounds HEAVEN after a long week full of important decisions and early wake ups.

This week is the bank holiday, but won't do any effect on me since I'll be working (still you never know). But if I could, only if I could, Paris would be a great getaway. Hopefully some of you will do something woth telling later on. Have a great weekend!

Hurrayy!!! Its Friday!



I am tired. Very tired. I am happy that today is Friday. I am still sleepy, so try to ignore my soulless post. I was running around the whole week. Given some choices, put in the a middle of a dilemma. 

Just enjoy it; no need to say much for Friday anyway.

Ladurée


I really had nothing for macaroons. In fact I thought they were nothing special until I had a French friend recently. We went to the luxury hall of a famous shop here to buy "Laduree" macaroons for her boyfriend's birthday. The shop was colorful, very pastel, just the way I like it. The French design and touch was very obvious in the shop. It had me when I stood there for couple of minutes. Then we left the shop. Couple of days passed. As I was walking down from the this luxury shop everyday, Laduree was always in my mind. Then when I got my paycheck I thougt it would be a treat. So I went into the shop and got 3 piece of macaroons in Chocolate(of course), Caramel and Raspberry flavours. It was in a very chic box (which is now a piece of decoration for my kitchen :)

Went home with this little box and had my first bite. It was heaven. I assure you I am not French or I don't work for Laduree. I am not advertising for them. But the taste was aamzing and I never had such a taste before. Now once in a while I go there to buy myself just one macaroon, if only I believe I deserve it :) So If you ever saw the shop, if you have a friend going to France or somewhere she/he can find Laduree, ask from them to bring you some macroons. Believe me, you'll love it!

Friday the Best Day


I can't wait for weekend to start. I am totally exhausted. Its been a busy weekend. Last night I had an unplanned dinner party. Getting up at 6.30 is not helping either. So I am wishing to sleep as much as I can tomorrow morning. And tomorrow is pampering day for me (don't you think I deserve it by now?). So I am hoping for a long and relaxing weekend. What more I am hoping is to make the weekeds three days including the fancy, happy, gorgeous fridays :)

Friday yay yay!




Do I need to say much? Should we just stop and enjoy the joy Friday brings? I guess I kinda missed the longing for Friday that you only feel when working :) 

 Last night I had to do some baking as we announced the Friday lunches to be sharing what each other cooks/bakes at work. I brought chocolate cake; it always wins over anything :) So I am planning a relaxing weekend although we have a farewell party, grocery shopping and maybe a tiny little bit shopping for myself to do. Did you make any plans? Any interesting activities there?

Corcaigh

A new job (I know, finally!), trainings in another city (oh well, that was fun) and an extended weekend is what kept me away. But I came back all hands full. Got a great weekend by the sea and in the mountains. Saw great scenes that no photo or word can reflect really. Saw a gazelle from a 100 m, fed wild duck looking weird bird couple, saved a dog from the shore that has been stranded because of the tide, had a great cup of coffee high in the mountains from the thermos I carried everywhere, lied in the grass under the blue sky by a gorgeous ocean scenery. Luckily the weather was beautiful. Got great shots which I am sharing here. Apparently there are really beautiful places in Irelad yet waiting to be discoverd.

Meanwhile, as I started to work all the social activities seems so get more intense compared to times I had the all day. Buts thats fine I guess. Seeing friends, especially the ones that lives far away, just makes me happy. At the same time, I am sad that good friends are leaving Dublin for good. Today I'll go out for dinner with a friend who is leaving on Sunday.

So far thats all. The rainy weather and the working routine is back on. Remind me to stay colorful.
