I'm listening to the Belle & Sebastian BBC Sessions. i love the tracks 'Here comes the sun' and 'There's too much love' - so cheerful! so optimistic! I bet the sun is shining every day in Belle & Sebastian world. Can you tell I am still suffering sun withdrawal?
Not that I should be complaining. This made me smile. And today The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman arrived, as did the ginormous Bones compendium. I'm trying to ignore the fact that I haven't yet read the 800 page book set for my next book club meeting (Tuesday). I just want to burrow down against the cold and dark and work my through the Sci Fi component (all 3 parts) of this list of 1000 Novels Everyone Should Read. That should keep me going for a while. Perhaps by then it might be spring?
Today is my dad's birthday. Happy birthday, dad!!! Miss you heaps, and love you lots. Hope you make it home safe and sound.
