I am reading another book by Joanne Harris “Five Quarters of the Orange”. I loved “Chocolat”. The book was sensational as well as the film. The current read is terrific also. I find her books talk about food in a very delicious way. They inspire me to be mindful about cooking. Does it have this effect on anyone else?
Speaking about mindfulness about food, in Victoria there is ‘Australia’s largest slow food festival’ happening at the end of this month. ‘A Taste of Slow’ , doesn’t it sound amazing. What could be better?
Joanne Harris’s website lists 11 books she has written. I am not sure why I haven’t devoured them all yet, but I certainly intend to. Make sure you read the about the author link for a smile.
Henna Powder, reading and lack of chocolate…
I have bought some henna powder. I remember back in the early nineties I used henna to color my hair. It wasn’t grey then so I wonder how it will go. I know, all this obsession with hair is so unlike me. I wonder if the moon is in Leo or something, thus affecting my hair concern.
I have been continuing to enjoy my reading and have a pile of books that are distracting me from corrections. I really do find reading an effective way to cut off from stress. I love it.
I have ran out of chocolate tonight. I usually have a stash somewhere. The only chocolate in the house is Andy’s dark chocolate Bilby that he has hoarded since Easter. I want to eat it …. it might go off!! I won’t though because I respect others chocolate boundaries. I mean I couldn’t very well scoff the bilby down and then expect that my own stashes would remain safe. I mean it is a fragile trust we all have with our individual pockets of chocolate.
David Almond & Baci
Just finished reading ‘The Fire Eaters’ and I wholeheartedly agree with the reviews on the back cover. It was a delightful book. David Almond is a great writer and his books are always refreshingly different to me.
I love reading. I have a couple more Gary Crew books to read now.
I am tired tonight so I shall retire early with my book and my Mothers Day ‘Bacio’. I love those chocolates as much for the love notes inside as the delightful chocs. I also like the silver and blue wrappings and I think the star design is divine too. I think they were created by someone with very similar taste as me!
