River Pearl

Cat arrived home from Canada yesterday and she gave me a river pearl on a simple gold chain for my birthday. It is very beautiful and people commented on it all day at work. I love it. 

I went to the gym at the end of the day with two colleagues; I really enjoyed it and it felt good. Then this evening James and I did some more batch cooking. It was a slow cooked version of beef stroganoff. I did four times the quantity for four people so there was a lot of chopping and browning going on. It was a satisfying feeling.
