Saturday Patterday; Loysel's Toy

the weekends are here, although it doesn't really make much of a difference since its holidays now.

today was a rather gloomy day, with overcast skies and an imminent thunderstorm brewing throughout the afternoon. fortunately, we didn't have big showers here.

well, i visited a café in the afternoon, and had tea there. it was quite far from my house, but since we were dropping off my brother, who was off gallivanting (not really-playing soccer) with his friends, we decided to visit a café nearby- Loysel's Toy.

they had quite a few bicycles for people to rent, probably because there was a park nearby.

as soon as we stepped into the café, a strong lemon smell wafted into my nose. hence, i decided to settle for a lemon tart, since it smelt lovely! i ordered a latte too, while my parents ordered a black sesame cake, and a cup of hand-brewed coffee.

we gobbled down the cakes and tarts quickly, as usual. the lemon tart was quite good, not too sweet as well.

we bought one back for my sister who was studying at home.

the latte was presented prettily, but too bitter for my taste, and hence i had to add some spoonfuls of sugar.

it was a good trip, but not worth visiting if you do not live near. it was fairly crowded though, and there were some students studying there (although it was rather dark and noisy)

that's all!
