aujourd'hui ma petite soeur a vingt ans. pour sa fête, j'ai préparé des petits gateaux avec des fraises et de la crème fouetée.
i will always love spending these few years living so close to my sister, being able to run over to her place with everyday snacks, fresh garden vegetables, and birthday surprises.

spending the most perfect rainy day painting my nails and watching the sappiest of movies, because sometimes a girl's just gotta be. kitten is distraught at the rain hitting the window pane.

today is my day off and i am spending it baking and studying. the light coming through my windows is a dull grey one, but i am enjoying the calm, sleepy tone of it and hoping this cool weather continues for a while (but who am i kidding; this is canada). for now, it's a perfect day to munch on banana oat muffins and hide behind a book. i presently have a sleepy kitten curled up on my lap and it's so cute to watch her ears and paws twitch!

there has been torrential rain all day in toronto. i had an interview this morning and arrived at my destination soaked to the skin! umbrellas don't stand a chance in this wind! unfortunately, it is appearing that our poor garden is stuck in an epic battle against the elements. lily-kitten is distraught at being kept indoors.
it's a movie and books with tea kind of day.

a small glimpse into my world and what i love...
summer may be here, but i've been having fun catching up on my studies. call me crazy, but i just love medieval art that much. i've been working on an essay for a class next year with the help of my prof; the subject of which is holyrood abbey (12th century, scotland). although much of the abbey church has been destroyed, i find such beauty in the leftover pieces, and there is a mystery to the architecture that tempts my heart and piques at my curiosity...

okay, so these pictures have definitely been retouched. but the stone really has taken on various shades of mossy greens and aging purples. some artsy character just got a little carried away with the colour saturation. because i like prettily coloured things, i'll find it in my heart to forgive them ;)
on another note, i cannot wait to finish up my bachelor so i may tackle my graduate studies in the magnificent united kingdom. to imagine being so close to such architecture makes my heart sing!
