I have just updated my book blog, for the first time since November! (And the only November post was an old essay I wrote a couple of years ago, but the professor never asked me to hand it in; he never even asked me if I had written it at all, he was so weird; he gave me the highest mark without even asking me if I had read all the literature.

I never completed the meme where I was supposed to talk about things "in great detail"... I did day 19, and then I was bored!

But I missed the bus… I watched ( Read more... )

We had a very calm Christmas Eve (one of my sisters, our grandmother and mother; we were drinking wine and eating garlic bread and cheese...), and then on Christmas Day, we were 18 people in the house! I'm not posting any pictures, it was more or less the same as last year...

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ( Read more... )

I went shopping with Moa today. Not my favourite thing, running around in shops, but... that's what she likes to do. And when we were having coffee, I almost met Amelia ( Read more... )

It has been sunny today, at least during parts of the day. It has been raining heavily as well. And I took photos of a lot of the things I did today, mostly my birthday cake. Take a look and have a bite of it!
