Holidays

July 3, 2008

It is school holidays, I have been looking forward to them. The break between the 1st and 2nd term was only one week so it made the eleven week second term seem extra long. I have done very little over the last three days except for reading, playing on the computer and a little sewing. We leave tomorrow for a few days away in the mountains which we are all looking forward to.

If you are a fantasy reader, I just finished the greatest book, ‘The Name of the Wind’ by Patrick Rothfuss. It is his debut book and the first in a trilogy. He is a wonderful storyteller and I totally agree with the statement…..  ‘Not a word of the nearly-700-page book is wasted. Rothfuss does not pad.’ Now to wait patiently for book two to come out.

I started a drawing to go with this post with this but my wacom drawing board gave up. I ordered a new one, there are many things that I could live with out but a drawing board is not on of them.

Hope you had a good vacation, Sandra. Get that drawing board! (It sounds like you’re thinking about what is dispensable and what is not - “down to earth” has gotten to us, hasn’t it?)

Oh, I have to get that book then, Sandra! I am always up for a good book.

Without my tablet I would be lost, hope your new one arrives soon!
