Slow Saturday

Right now, I am laying on Narek's couch in cosy tights and a Hogwarts jumper. At this exact moment, I'm writing here but otherwise, I've been browsing Instagram and reading for book club (super behind - sorry y'all). Occasionally, Narek's housekeeper Karina calls me over to the kitchen for a quick demonstration about the next step in her chicken soup recipe. She explains it in Armenian and slowly walks through what needs doing. I'll share the recipe if I figure it out!

Karina is also bopping around, dusting and organising. She will be here all day on Saturday and comes again on Wednesdays while Narek and I are at work to make another meal and bop around some more I imagine. She is lovely.

Later today, I'll go on a walking tour of Yerevan. It is only 5k, but will take three hours so I imagine it will be more talking than walking. Besides some cooking instruction here and there and the tour, it is a much-needed slow Saturday for me here in Yerevan.

All my love,
Jess

Soup in progress - I wish I could share the smell with you!! Mmm
