Still having trouble with making time for recreational internet...

...but here is a short update in the form of happy things that have happened recently. And although the lack of book posts makes it appear that I don't read books any more, the opposite is true. I now have a 45 min train trip each way to work so I am reading lots of great books, assisted by item 2 below.

YAY you got to read to a small child. Very adorable!

Glad things are going well. Nice to hear from you. I want thai food now! *hugs and offers cookies*

I love it when I find a gift for someone that I think they will love : )

and yay yay double yay for having a baby to read to and cuddle! I just bet she will be the Christmas Star for your family this year, which is just as it should be.

and, off topic, but a happy thing
*snaps fingers* Tim Tams with coffee! That's right! It was reading about that treat in the Lonely Planet book that started me on my search for Tim Tams in the first place! Alex does not drink tea or coffee but gave them a thumbs up when used as a straw for hot chocolate.

Only TEN books?! That's crazy. Why not have the books circulating? I'm glad you can take more! So happy you are enjoying you little niece. Crawling is such fun to watch.

It's nice to hear you are settling back in to life at home.
