It’s a lovely summer’s evening in our apartment and it’s usually on day’s like this we feel particularly creative when it comes to cooking. And on a Saturday night there’s plenty of time to create. Our fridge looks filled with lovely fresh ingredients – fresh pasta, basil, marscarpone, old gouda, cream, home-made aioli, chardonnay, asparagus, zucchini …

Hopefully we’re going to have success in creating a 3-course meal consisting of:

• Chargrilled asparagus with aioli dressing
  
• Fresh pasta with basil and Julienne zucchini
  
• Honey and cinnamon wafers with marscarpone vanilla cream & summer fruit

Oh my God! Today we saw a lovely black pussy cat out on Victoria Street with his owners. They’d just got out of their car and he was on a lead and he sat on the man’s shoulders and just looked around as they walked off down the street. He seemed quite comfortable and the man didn’t get very far because every time he walked by anyone they wanted to stop and pat the cat. We were across the road and didn’t get the chance to run across for a pat.
