Books! Books! Books!
On Tuesday I had a day off and completely forgot to update. Good start ;) I may be back but it's taking me some time to get used to write frequently again!
The stores already sport copious amounts of Christmas decorations and sweets for Sinterklaas. I know these things get ordered months in advance (fake Christmas trees get ordered as early as January... Yes. Really!) but why do they have to be in the stores so long in advance? On the other hand, it's a good reminder to start planning out Christmas dinner! Any ideas?
I preordered I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett from Bol.com but apparently they cannot deal with preorders. Order information on the website has been stuck on 'delivery in 3-4 days' for over a week and as far as I know the book has been released. I might cancel the order and get it from my local bookstore this weekend! Second time they mess it up with a preorder. Not a good sign Bol.com!
Speaking of books, I am reading Kitchen, the new book by Nigella Lawson and am getting so many new ideas from it! Her books always inspire me to spend more time in the kitchen and try more new recipes. Apparently there's going to be a series on the telly as well (BBC) but I have no idea when this will start. Anyone out there who knows?
I am also waiting for an order from Amazon.co.uk. I ordered both Sherlock and Going Postal and am looking forward to watching both again (obviously). Apparently there is an unaired pilot episode on the Sherlock DVD box so I cannot wait to get it!! Are there people mad enough to join me in a marathon? Fancy dress, tophats (Brett!Holmes, gotta love him), skulls and tea are optional! I do draw the line at shooting at the walls though!
Time now to finish up at work and go home. Weekend! Have a good one all of you!
