Today was a national holiday. The 25th of March is both the day of the Annunciation of the Virgin and Greek Independence Day (they were religious people, they chose today on purpose as a good day to begin their uprising against the "infidel" conquerors).
It's amazing what a difference two hours more sleep with make! I woke up today at 9.00 instead of the usual 7.00, and I feel like a human being (albeit a slightly sick one) instead of a zombie just going through the motions! I felt so much better than usual that I spend my day of cleaning the house and balcony and cooking. I cooked squids in red wine sauce with small macaroni (yum!).
But most exciting was that I finally got round to using my brand new spring-form cake tin with the nifty glass bottom! I decided to try out a recipe I've had my eye on for a while now: chocolate torte with prunes. For all you naysayers out there, I'd like to inform you that I think that chocolate and prunes (with a dash of brandy and cinnamon too) make quite a nice combination.
Now if that cake didn't have you salivating, how about a picture of the bike I'd like to buy if I didn't already have my trusty 80s vintage peugeot?

Gorgeous, isn't it?
