These are the books that I've been reading lately. I finished Beauty yesterday. I was snuggled up in bed all day reading it and enjoying it very much, then in the evening I watched Kiki's Delivery Service and I loved that too (I wish I could be a witch!). Since getting a place at uni I seem to have decided that I've earned the right to be as lazy as I want and I haven't done much besides read since.
Oh, but I've done a bit of knitting! I made a bunny shaped cover for my iPod, just for the fun of it, because I thought it would be cute (and I think it is, even if I've made a bit of a mess of it). And there's the cake my sister and I made tonight; a prettily covered up disaster! It turned out really hard and flat, but it tastes alright... the strawberries and cream are nice, if nothing else.
sounds lovely, i love lazy days. i just watched kiki last night! great film

The Art Cupboard: yes, lazy days are the best aren't they?
ReplyDeleteVera: Oh, yes, you should learn! It's really quite easy once you get the hang of it. I'm sure you'd make lovely things.

ReplyDeleteand yes i agree that you deserve the right to be lazy and enjoying yourself in the world of printed words on paper after the stress of applying for uni :- )
