Beauty in flight

Mrsgunka shared these great pictures:





Thank you, Mrsgunka. Peacocks are very beautiful creatures, but this was the first time I've seen them flying.

Busy, busy, busy

I don't have time to select anything for today's post. I've spent the day making tarts for an European Soiree tonight. We do it every year and the way the tasks were assigned to each group, the Brits are in charge of desserts on this occasion (last year we did the salads).

I made four strawberry, raspberry and blueberry tarts. They look good and I hope they taste ok. I'm proud of my crème pâtissière, the best I've produced to date.

I have to get ready and there's a queue for the shower, so I'd better hurry up!

Sad

I'm not in the mood for jokes today. My heart feels heavy after reading the news about the senseless killing spree in Aurora, Colorado.


I feel very sad for the lives cut short and my thoughts go to the families and friends of the victims.

How can we hope this will be the last time such a tragedy happens in the US when the gun lobby is so incredibly powerful?
