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.
