Saturday snippets 19 october 2013

{Reading} The Book Thief. I got this out of the library when we lived in Brighouse. It sat accusingly by the side of the bed, unopened, until I returned it. I’ve got it from NetGalley for review now, and I’m loving it. Feels a little wrong to describe it that way, given the subject matter, but I’m sure you know what I mean.

{Watching} Epic. Whole family enjoyed this, nicely put together, very enjoyable feelgood romp. Excellent #familyfilmnight choice, recommended.

{Failing} to run. It’s been nearly two weeks. I need to just bite the bullet and do it.

{Proud} of my self restraint. I really really wanted to buy some yarn yesterday. But knowing how much I already have, I put it back. Impressed? I was.

{Afraid} that I’m never going to declutter the house. Failed to take things to the NCT sale (couldn’t get my head round the terms and conditions) wondering whether I’d have any success listing things on Relike. Just afraid most people won’t bother shopping there as £15 is quite a lot to shell out for secondhand clothes.

{Desperate} for children who napped to Go. To. Sleep.

{Snapshots}

Big is making real progress with her guitar and bar chords. Small has discovered the command prompt and is beginning to stretch his computing knowledge massively. Smallest has spent some time sounding out words with our foam alphabet and Tigerboy has his second first pair of shoes after the first first pair ate his foot.
