"So Madame! You are returned at last!"

I have to apologise for my absence over the past few months. I wish I could come up with a reason, other than the simple-but-true fact that I was tired and uninspired. I've not been watching much other than Battlestar Galactica, a show I'm just becoming addicted to, the reasons for which I can't really explain. I've never been a massive sci-fi fan, with the exception of the amazingly wonderful Doctor Who, so my new-found love can be blamed on the fact that when I was at home a couple of weeks ago, all my friend Adam wanted to do was watch BSG. And I got sucked in, primarily by the fact that Tom from Bridget Jones' Diary is in it, except he is straight. And hot.

Another excuse for my absence: I was in three different countries in the space of three weeks. I am now no longer in France, but in Spain, and I had a quick trip home to Chicago in between. I arrived almost two weeks ago and am having a whale of a time. My Spanish ain't so good but there's time for that to improve. Being in a new country, I'm naturally in a new flat which– drumroll please– has a kitchen! Having spent the past five months without one at all, I intend to use this one to the fullest extent, and have even started up a food blog, something I've wanted to do for a while, to document my adventures in the kitchen. I have a feeling that this may take up more of my time than Ramblings, but you must believe me that when I find something worth posting on here, I will do so. In the meantime, if you're looking for some fun recipes to occupy your time, you can look here: The Ever-Changing Kitchen.

I shall leave you with a couple of videos from a fun series my new flatmate introduced me to: for those who "love everything about porn except for the sex."





Much love. x
