I have been enjoying the scent of the opening hyacinths, |
toasting myself by the fire, |
baking some oaty, coconuty cookies for the gang of small people who are coming here after school, |
loving my new socks (have you ever tried to take flattering photos of your own legs? Very tricky...) |
and having a bit of time to start this book while the house is quiet. I immersed myself in the first two of the quartet after Christmas. Fabulous stuff. |
Now I just need to summon up the strength to go and sort out this. |
Personally, I'd stick with the book. If you have a houseful after school, they'll only trash it again!
ReplyDeleteI have been doing a bit of fireside toasting today too - very foggy and cold here.
ReplyDeleteAm well jealous of your wood burner!
ReplyDeleteHow did you manage to photograph your legs then? ;)
ooh, I devoured the 4 shetland books having read about them on The Quince Tree blog. Forget the cleaning, head for the wood burner with a cuppa and your book!
ReplyDeleteRead the book and smell the hyacinth (maybe while eating oaty cookie goodness). As Ali, says the horde will only trash it again. I always go for the easiest impact - duvet straightened and drag toys to one pile! x
ReplyDeleteps. Did you have to use a yoga pose for the leg picture?
ooh haven't read any of those books, love the rest of the day except the tidying.....
