Yesterday we went to the big annual Lifeline Bookfest, which is still ongoing – finishes Monday 27th January at 6pm. Friday night goes until 9pm, and there are bands as well! There are $1, $2.50 and high quality sections, and games, DVDs and stationery are included in the mix. I got some books to add to various series I’m collecting, and some cool stationery items as well.
I didn’t really look at the high quality section, and only skimmed the $2.50 section. I had somewhere to be at 2pm, and it tends to become a bit of a blur when you look at every table – there are a lot of books! I’m happy with my small haul, though 😀
In other news… there’s been some lovely rain, although not as much as we’d like. Our yard has been unmowed for a while, so there’s been tufts of grass, but it wasn’t until I sat on the patio that I realised that I can no longer see the planting boxes…
The rain (actual or threatened) has also brought out the ants, and I’ve found them in unwanted places. That includes my comfy chair – it’s hard to relax when you get bitey ants randomly roaming through your clothes… I vacuumed everything I could find, but I think it’s just that our chairs are on the ants’ pathway. I haven’t had any so far this afternoon!
The birds are singing.
There’s a breath of air that feels like a possible storm.
I’m feeling comfortable in myself – and I’ve just had some (raw, organic) cheesecake.
This is the sort of summer I can cope with!
