'Trying to sleep in the tree house'
'Summer was our best season. It was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the tree house, Summer was everything good to eat, it was a thousand colours in a parched landscape.' - from To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee

A week of memories and discoveries

image: google
Hi everyone.
Sorry I havnt written for a while, have been so busy!! Had lots going on with uni and friends... and this weekend spent time with friends and family. We had a community religious festival which involves dressing up and eating lots of food! Good times :)
This week has been a week of fun and discoveries.
I have discovered...
-that i LOVE to wear bright nail polish, particularly dark pink (as my nails are painted at the moment)
- a great book by Ed Hussein called 'The Islamist'- must read for anyone wanting to know about the reality of fundamentalist and moderate islam from an inside view. so interesting!
- that babies laughter is quite possibly the cutest thing in the world, and so is baby babble! (when they cant speak yet.. and are just about to talk)
- that Cath Kidston (british amazing designer) sells gorgeous floral teapots
- that I have a new found love for Alicia Keys and am beginning to like Florence and the Machine
- that sometimes its ok to change... change your hair style, your view and your perspective :) im thinking at the moment of changing my hair so i have a side fringe... (americans fringe means bangs!)
- that i love to reminisce... this week I was remembering reading 'To Kill a Mockingbird' aged 15 in class, and passing a beautiful house by my school. It was cream with a balcony at the front.. a really pretty circular one, big bay windows, a big tree at the front with branches that lent over towards the house and a manicured lawn. I fell in love with it.... and associated it with Scout and Jem's street in the book in 1930s America .
What have you discovered this week?
Love :)
