Athena Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 You`ve had a really productive year ( and colouring books still count, right ? ). Haha ! Thanks . You too! Secrets of Mariko - Elisabeth Bumiller A journalist spends a year observing a `typical` Tokyo housewife, her husband, children and parents, all living in the same house. Engrossing. Something New - Lucy Knisley Autobiographical cartoonist`s graphic memoir of events leading up to her DIY wedding. Delightful. Those sound like two interesting books . What's a DIY wedding? Is that when the couple do everything themselves, like cooking the food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Those sound like two interesting books . What's a DIY wedding? Is that when the couple do everything themselves, like cooking the food? Exactly. She`s an artist, and even built the barn for the wedding venue ! You can see lots of her work here. It`s the third book of hers I`ve read ; I have a couple more in my TBR pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Begins Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Congratulations on your book count!! I hope your test turns out ok and that you're feeling better soon Edited December 16, 2016 by Anna Begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Congratulations on your book count!! I hope your test turns out ok and that you're feeling better soon Aw, thank you. I`ve got a bit of a migraine atm - as opposed to feeling absolutely hideous with it - so I`m betting that`s a sign that my liver`s repairing itself. I`m going to have drinks at New Year ( I haven`t had alcohol for 2 and 1/2 years ) so that`ll be a test to see how things are ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your migraine is better now Thanks - I`m used to getting migraines now, so it`s good when I get a not-so-bad-as-usual one. New Year will be at home - we back onto the river and get a brilliant view of all the fireworks ( which Xiao-Xiao the cat really doesn`t appreciate ). Are you up to anything exciting ?

Athena Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 New Year will be at home - we back onto the river and get a brilliant view of all the fireworks ( which Xiao-Xiao the cat really doesn`t appreciate ). Poor Xiao-Xiao . Our dogs don't like it at all either. People have been doing fireworks for a while now, but it's getting worse and worse towards the New Year. New Year's Eve is very hard for the dogs. I hope Xiao-Xiao will be allright. Thanks - you too ! I think I enjoy New Year`s more than Xmas. Have you got any plans for a family celebration ? I think we'll have a little celebration around midnight (Michael, my parents and me). What about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - we just get fireworks at Bonfire Night and New Year`s Eve ( oh, and there`s a Summer flower show as well, which has fireworks ) , so it could be worse for the little one. I`ll be at home, with my father and Xiao-Xiao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ll be at home, with my father and Xiao-Xiao. That's nice . Here it's not really allowed to use fireworks outside of the designated dates, but teenagers do it anyway (at least, I think they're teenagers). I hope you have a great celebration . We'll be at home too. I hope you have a nice Christmas too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
