I finally had a day off today, and it was a beautiful day at that! In the morning I had hot porridge for breakfast, and then spent the day writing letters and working on some community things with Abbie. 
I even had time to tidy my chambers a bit.
This afternoon Éclair and I were treated to a lovely tea by my friend Clara. She had just purchased a set of dishes with a gorgeous lacework design and took the opportunity to make a little tea for us. There were finger sandwiches, home baked cookies and muffins and cute little fruit tarts. 
Everything was delicious and so nicely presented with a scattering of pink carnations and a pretty candle goblet. Clara was kind enough to give me some left over sweets to take to work tomorrow and I’m looking forward to having them with my morning tea!
I also got to meet Clara’s adorable bunny Charlie (who is a real bunny, Clara’s white bunny pochette is named “Anastasia” and is Éclair’s twin) Charlie is white with black ears and paws and nose and big pink eyes! She has such a sweet temperament and soft fur. 
I miss having a rabbit, so it was really nice to be able to stroke and hold Charlie for a bit, she was a rescued bunny so she is very lucky to have a good home with Clara and her partner! Thank you to Clara for a lovely evening.

That sounds like it was totally lovely! I wish I could have tea-time more often, now that I have a job I need to arrange to set an organized time for one. And ironically, I plan to take my mother and little sister out for dessert tonight…
Also, Charlie sounds adorable! I would love to have a rabbit, and she sounds so cute and soft and cuddly… ^^

Its a very precious occasion indeed, Princess, when someone treasures Your company sufficiently to make a special effort to entertain You as Clara did. Anastasia and Eclair look highly delighted to be in the thick of things! And Charlie is certainly a lucky bunny to have been discovered by as kind a person as Clair.

I’m happy that you had such a nice time! And Charlie sounds like a cute rabbit! I hope she has a long and healthy life.
And last but not least, Anastasia and Éclair are absolutely adorable! ^__^
