Good Morning and happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! 

What did we do this weekend? Well, Saturday had a little warmer temperatures, so after breakfast and an hour in the dance studio, we decided to drive 20 minutes north to Sherwood Island State Park in Westport. The summer season is over and dogs are now allowed there. We couldn’t really tell if dogs were allowed on the beach or not but since we saw other dogs there we decided it would be fine. It was so nice. Kinda windy when the sun was behind clouds, but it was quiet and peaceful, at least in the park part where there were no people at all (hardly anyone one the beaches either). Not many trees has changed colors yet, but it’s getting there and it’s so pretty.
We went to bar for early dinner after our beach adventure and then spent the night at home. We are currently watching The Haunting of the Hill House. I’ve heard and read everywhere that people think this tv-show is so scary and one of the best shows they’ve ever watched. It got 9.1 on imdb and 100% on rotten tomatoes so we gave it a shot. We’ve seen 7 episodes and we are not impressed. Bad acting, kinda bad filming, very very predictable and not scary what so ever. We don’t get it. 

It’s so nice to be alone in the studio sometimes

Sunday was a cold day! Around lunchtime, we drove to Walmart and picked up some things we needed. Absolutely packed and kinda chaotic in there. We had lunch at Burger King (I haven’t had that in years,..it was ok).
At night, after a very nice dinner, we set up a little painting station on the kitchen counter/bar. Neither of us has painted with oil paint more than maybe back in school, so we bought a bunch of supplies to try at home. Yesterday we finally tried it. To paint with oil paint was fun I guess, but then the cleanup, oh my, we hadn’t really thought about that. Of course we know to not throw anything in regular garbage or down the drain, but we didn’t know that the city only has two drop off dates at the waste station. Apparently it was last week and the next one is in April. So now we have to keep the waste somewhere safe for 6 months. Urgh, things like that makes me tired (plus a little scared since I’m afraid of fires and my head always think the worst). 
Then we watched another episode of the stupid and boring tv-show. It’s only ten episodes, so we thought we can just watch them all…so far it’s been 7 hours of wasted time for the past week. Have you seen it, and if so, what did you think? 

Cauliflower fried in paprika and turmeric, halloumi, pork chop from the grill, salad.
So simple, but oh it was good!
