Une journée bien chargée
Phew, enfin! Now that Cléms is asleep and moi feeling refreshed, I can now relax, have my hands back on the keyboard and blog in bed.
What a Saturday bien chargé!
I got up early this morning for I was asked by Séb to go to IKEA to buy him a computer table. He bought another computer, a Power Mac G5, so he needed a larger, solid table which could at least support the weight of two monitors. Though I wasn't very keen of going there as it is Saturday, expect the crowd as usual, I just had no choice cos we'll be getting the computer tomorrow de son bureau à Paris. Et en plus, je n'aime pas voir les choses traînent dans l'appartement. C'est pour ça, I made an effort...
And since Saturday is also a grocery shopping day, j'étais crevée!
Unbelievable, there were no more candies left in the supermarket. I had them on my list for Halloween's trick-or-treat but unfortunately, the saleslady told me that the shelves will only be replenished on Monday. Et voilà, gotta go back Monday morning otherwise we'd look miserable Monday night trying not to make a noise, trying not to move, pretending we're not home whenever kids ring our doorbell. Ridicule...
Ah, tonight, we treated ourselves to a sumptuous yet inexpensive Chinese dinner in a Chinese restaurant called La Fontaine Céleste, a nicely decorated restaurant with classical Chinese artworks, beautiful lush plants, a fishpond and (artificial) 'starry' ceiling; non-smoking, very clean, approximately a 150-cover resto. So, it's not like one of those typically suffocating miniscule Chinese restaurants wherein the smell of the kitchen invades the dining area. This one is different, I'm even rating the toilets 4 stars!
The food, as usual, was excellent. Les portions sont énormes, good for two persons actually. I had my favorite spicy soupe pékinoise, shrimp fritters and canard laqué. Cléms had her usual menu enfant (a plate with 2 pcs. of shrimp fritters, 2 pcs. of spring rolls, deep fried chicken and riz cantonais). Koko, had the menu Shanghai, it consisted of shrimp toasts & spring rolls for appetizer and cantonese rice with porc laqué pour l'entrée. Séb started with nouilles de chéf & spring rolls, and his main course was canard au mangue et riz nature. We had coffee, tea and ice cream for dessert. And tout ça for 60 Euros only! Incroyable!
Bon, je dois me coucher maintenant, il faut se lever de bonheur demain matin. Et en plus, my mac's already running out of battery power and I don't have the recharger here in the bedroom, so ... à demain!
