Secret Harbour
Dec. 1st, 2013 07:24 pmToday I've been to an eightieth birthday party. So that was wild. No, it wasn't. But it was nice.
All guests were issued with name tags, which sounds a bit official but turned out to be quite a good idea. They had our first name and how we were connected to the birthday girl, so mine said:
ALICIA
Grand-niece
So feel free to steal that idea next time you're having a family do, because it was very effective.
November books read
Not a big reading month this time round. Life became a little bit hectic for part of November. I've got one more trip to Melbourne next week, and then I can start winding down for the year.
* A Traveller in Time - Alison Uttley (1939)
* Swan Song - Edmund Crispin (1947)
* The Girl on the Landing - Paul Torday (2009)
