what day is it today?

i am home today - it was the only day in the next three weeks while i work fulltime that we didn't have anyone to look after the kids. i don't mind. a quiet day home is a good thing. :)
i am enjoying small things:
bags for collecting beach treasures.
finding new sewing inspiration in old Toast catalogues.
colour in our garden.
Alexander McCall Smith's latest audio novel - online.

illustrations in a new children's book i bought for myself. i mean for Nicholas and Audrey....

am not enjoying another government who hides behind irrelevant and outdates conventions...

  3. i love the pictures too - when i saw the books somewhere online, i looked erveywhere for them, only to dicover they are no longer in print. i don't know why - they are gorgeous. so i bought an old library copy from the States... i tried reading the story to Nicholas, but it's a bit long. he got bored after a page!
