or should that be Chocolat? I have seasonal readings – I have decided I now have seasonal reading is probably more correct. It started out that with the arrival of December I would dig out my copy of The Christmas Mystery and as each chapter is a date in December I would read each chapter on the day mentioned. I even manage it for the most part! I then progressed and started reading Christmas ghost stories in November (a between Halloween and Christmas thing) I’m not overly successful with that but I do try. Now that it’s lent I’m thinking of bringing Chocolat by Joanne Harris into the mix as the story takes place during lent…
I’m wondering should my choice of words have been festive reading rather than seasonal? Anyhoo! I’m a very slow reader so I think I’m going to indulge in an audio version of Chocolat – You can’t beat the curling purring tones of Samantha Bond and the writing of Joanne Harris. Mercifully I’ve not given up chocolate for lent ’cause that is a book just dripping with temptation for the finer indulgences.

Sleep!
I hope I’m not putting a jinx on this but I’ve just had good sleep for two nights in a row! I would never have thought of myself as a light sleeper previously but I’m very aware of himself in the bedroom – when he gets up, when he get back in to bed, when he’s reading to the extent that I’m almost waking up when he rolls over! – ok maybe not THAT bad but not far from it – I wake up 3 or 4 times every night. I don’t have any problem going back to sleep but it’s the disturbance that gets me. Ok I’m used to it – I’ve been like this for the best part of 9 years. However I’m not saying that I haven’t had any good nights sleep since but I’ve had two in a row and I’m feeling great.
So the thing that makes me smile is waking up after a nightful of sleep and not feeling the need to have a snooze. Yes I’ve been awake since the early and I’ll need an early night (ish) but I don’t have “I’m wrecked” as my background for the day. Even just the thought of that has me feeling slightly buzzed. So with that I’d better buzz off and get stuff done.
Much Needed Smiles
Since my last post we (me & he) got a bit of bad news – so I’ve been in search of smiles and not really finding any. Instead I’ve been hitting anxiety levels that have been previously unheard of.
So – it’s not so much smiles as giggles but if you haven’t come across Simon’s Cat you haven’t lived. If you’re a cat person you will love this – if you’re not a cat person I do apologise and please don’t click the link.
Anyway I’ve the house to myself for an entire 2.5 hours so I’m off to soak in a bath! I’ve had a recommendation of – rose & lavender with a hint of Juniper oil so I will let you know how I get on 🙂
