Simple Curd Cake

Oh, everything is just great!

I keep doing my workout each morning and afterwards I always feel so energetic, so capable of doing anything. I just love that feeling, as it makes me more concentrated on my future!

Also, today is very warm(22 degrees!!!), it seems that summer came back, doesn't it?

I am really in a good mood, that's why right now it doesn't matter that I didn't pass my driving exam yesterday. I am an optimist and I know that I'll do it next time. I'll get that fuc*ing driving license!

Today I wanted something simple and quickly made, so I baked curd cake. And while waiting until the top of the cake gets a golden colour, I've spent the afternoon in my cosy balcony reading one of my favourite books - 'Jane Eyre' written by Charlotte Brontë(an old version(released in 1954) of the book, which belongs to my grandmother). I think I should also watch a movie, may be in the evening or tomorrow.
