Note to self: do not leave keys for home at home when weather equals freezing fingers and toes off if you are outside for more than a grand total of four minutes, much less twenty.

Other than that, I think the Ghost of Christmas Past came to visit me when I sat reading Lessing outside, waiting for Mother to return so I could get in. 5 weeks til Christmas, and I can start thinking of presents again. And we're planning a Christmas work-shop of sorts, with liquer gingerbread and carols.
Lessing writes beautifully, I am so grateful to grandmother for bringing me a few of her books. I read the first of four very short novels in The Grandmothers, called, fittingly, The Grandmothers. She is a master of insinuation, I can't help but admire her. I hadn't realized I needed a cure after The Meaning of Night, but I obviously did. The clock's short arm has not yet passed five, and it is already dark, I do love this time of year; I can read and do nothing without feeling bad about not being more productive.

And, we're in London in mid-January, that means SALE. I am deliriously incoherent. Marc Jacobs, United Nude, Irregular Choice, Alexander McQueen, London.


------

Addendum: I have to marvel a bit about my Norwegian and History teacher. He is so knowledgable, I can't quite believe it. And he said something wonderful about learning languages today, those of us that can truly call ourselves bilingual, do not only know two languages, but partake in two cultures. The world, is to the bilingual, double the size to that of the monolingual. I can't quite help but marvel at both the opportunity to become bilingual, and the opportunity to be exposed to such a wonderful teacher.

I suddenly got the urge to sew a skirt, does anyone want to join me? It is entirely the fault of The Sartorialist, and the fact that I have been wanting a skirt for a few, very short days.

Oh, and does anyone want to play "spot the Louboutins", with me? Can you find the Loubotins in this photo? (Also stolen from The Sartorialist.)
