"When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning."

So this is what I woke up to this morning:



Last night, when I closed my bedroom's window, the balcony was empty. This morning I woke up, checked my phone, opened the window, and this Spongebob balloon was trapped right outside. It was seven in the morning! Luckly I was so sleepy I didn't even get scared, even if that toothy smile is kinda the stuff of nightmares before anyone's morning tea. Sakura completely ignored it and demanded her breakfast. I grabbed it, still absolutely puzzled, and put it outside the front door to throw it away when I leave the house. And a few minutes later, judging from the sounds I heard from the stairwell, the neighbour kid found it. Apparently he was confused and delighted.

I'm still wondering about the recycling bin I'll have to choose. Plastic? Weird stuff?

"We ain't leaving this room till someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom."

Aaaaand this is what happens when I walk into the kitchen looking for a snack, and notice there's a bag of flour left in a drawer, from when we last made frittelle.



I tweaked the recipe, and improved it a lot. It originally asked for mint candies, the hard ones, while I decided to use chocolate drops. I like my teeth where they are, thank you very much. Instead of almond I used orange flavouring, and now the whole room smells like Sicily in spring. ♥



It took me more than two hours, so I watched both Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea and The Emperor's New Groove on my laptop while cutting little stars out of batter.



I filled the two tin boxes I use for homemade biscuits, and then I digged out a plastic one because I still had an entire baking-pan of biscuits and no where to put them.

I'm going to eat orange-flavoured biscuits for weeks! :D
