life this week

a couple of extra books have sneaked onto my list of reading... i think that will always be the way! after Paula, I started The Red Tent, a fictional story based on the biblical story of Dinah, Jacob's daughter. a message on the telephone let me know a book i ordered a few weeks ago is in. it is called At Home in Mitford. it is the first book in a series that a colleague once told me about. she thought i'd like them. many of the books i read are a bit heavy on the "literary" side. i'm not into "chick-lit" at all (this book isn't chick-lit), but i felt like something a bit lighter than the stuff i normally read. i'll see how it goes...

speaking of critiquing books, my sister bought Ali Edwards book on 'mini-books'. one of the examples in it is scrapbooking favourite books, with quotes and reviews etc. another project to add to the list!!

this weekend we are putting up the Christmas Tree. N told me he will be "so pleased" when we decorate it. i don't know where he gets it from!! at the moment i am madly trying to finish A's Christmas stocking.

and A now has hair long enough for a ponytail! trying to get a photograph of N's bandaged hand (dog bite...) but he fancy's himself a photographer too...
