springspringspring

I'm so happy to say that whilst writing this, there's a gorgeous hazy sunshine outside in Nogent today. It seems spring finally has sprung here.

I had a predominantly lazy weekend. On Friday, I did venture out to the shops in a caveman style hunt for food and upon my return, felt as though I'd run a marathon. On Saturday, I set out on my mission for a walk into the middle of nowhere, mostly because I wanted to get a bit lost and find some hidden beauty at least somewhere in the vicinity of Nogent.

I'm afraid to say that this is not a successful story. I walked along a small road for roughly an hour, only to be greeted with a row of houses with vicious little dogs guarding the gates, a derelict scrap yard and an empty caravan site. Feeling very much like I was part of a gritty horror movie//the apocalypse, and with the impending potential doom of an unusual breed of humans leaping out from the woods, I made my way back to my little house, feeling downtrodden that I hadn't stumbled across some peaceful lake or woodland.

Sunday was a pyjama and film day for me, with the odd spattering of sketching and just a splash of classical music. Lazy but blissful.

Feeling much better now, even though my grasp of the French language seems to be less than brilliant at the moment. I'll blame it on the cold. 

Would anybody like to make me a roast dinner and some hot cross buns? I'm rather craving them as of late.

I'm also on the search for something to do this weekend, a four day affair. Tempted by Tours, Rennes, Brussells and even Budapest and then remembered I'm actually not a millionaire, unfortunately. Definitely will be on the search for a spa of some kind though.

That's about it for today I'm 'fraid. I'll update you when I have something slightly more interesting to say.
