Reading in bed is the life...


Best part of being sick in bed is being able to READ. Those of you with kids will know what I mean! Anyway, I have a large stack of books I want to read, and three days in bed allowed me to devour Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (amazing stroke of six-degrees is that her lover's kids live in Australia, one in Canberra, and actually works with my best buddy here!!!) I loved the Eat section on Rome.

The Rushdie is still being read - another book that's easy to read, like hot chocolate it is enjoyable, goes down well, and you are sad when it is over. He is a master story-teller.

Pi was a gift from my Best Friend in The World before she went to Saudi for a year. I don't want to finish it!!



A reading session can only improve with 1970s and 1980s cookbooks, including a Robert Carrier classic (each 20c at oppy).

And a forgotten This is... where I craft from - my newly-stacked shelves with fabrics, linens, pillowcases, etc. Larger pieces are still in the huge chest, but this is my treasure trove!

So jealous...of the reading, not the sickness - glad you're better!

Reading + Bed = Bliss

I hope you get more chances to do that again - minus being sick of course. (ooh that would make the equation:

(Reading + Bed) - Sick = Heaven

Augh, don't mind me, I've just come back delirious after trying to learn how to write html....

Nice fabric shelves there!

Yep, I know what you mean...a few days in bed, even sick, would be great! Running around with a baby is very busy!
