Egg

This Easter was a bit of an even because a) we had visitors, b) we did Easter-y things, and c) I got to have a proper cup of tea.

a) Cousin stopped over on her round-the-world trip with Friend on Friday. I met them at the local train station, which, like most train stations, goes by the name of 'Union Station'. They stayed for two nights. It was great to have visitors; not only is it just fun by nature, it can also give you a reason to tackle things you'd been putting off, like cleaning or trying a new restaurant. We had it in mind to rearrange our apartment so that the use of space would better meet our needs as modern-day young professionals (can you believe there are environments where saying something like that is acceptable?) so the arrival of Cousin + Friend acted as a deadline. We didn't quite build the Dream Home in time as there are still a few piles of stuff stacked here and there (I hold J-Lo and his Scotch drinking responsible) but it feels like we've moved into a new place, maybe even enough to warrant throwing a pseudo-housewarming party.

Cousin + Friend were fab visitors. It's cold again, but they were still eager to walk around and see some sights. The food at the fish and chip shop was crappy this time around, but they gobbled it up. Sunday morning, they made us an enormous, delicious breakfast.

Cousin is one of only two people to visit us twice, but that will soon change. Yay! We love visitors.

b) Saturday morning, B boiled eight eggs so that on Sunday, we could each have two to decorate. We used food colouring so we could eat them later. I think I'll have one for lunch. We also bought a few chocolate eggs, but we didn't hide them. Dad hid eggs for Em and I well into our twenties. January would roll around and you'd put your foot into a ski boot and find a chocolate egg.

c) I did not have one cup of herbal tea yesterday.
