Who's up for a chocolate muffin on this beautiful sunny day! Today is my day off and I am totally ready for it. I got some kitchen time planned, later we are going for a drink and swim at a friend's resort and after that, we are invited to the opening of another friend's Spanish restaurant followed by some ice cream tasting.

Already downed a green morning drink to get me started and I have some chocolate muffins left I made the other day!

Perfect start of the day. What are you guys up to? As said earlier... this is where you will find me after lunch......
