Offerings from a Mermaid

The Mermaid, to be precise. She's back from her long California-Dreamin'-Holiday and came bearing wonderful gifts for me:

I love them all and was overjoyed to get things from two of my favourite brands, Banana Republic and Le Sportsac.

As our swimming pool is closed in the month of August and the weather wasn't nice enough for outdoor swimming activities last night, we swapped swimming for ...eating. One of our favourite restaurants and old haunts now seems to offer a permanent 50% discount on sushi and maki. This might sound dodgy and imply rotten fish, but is in fact only a desperate measure to lure people away from the cheap-ish eateries in the nearby Lugner City mall. Fine with me - the bill for two amounted to € 15.50.
