  1. Cocktail of the week: Christmas Pudding Martini (from LivingEtc). Whiskey, Nocino, Cointreau, honey and double cream. Mmmmm.
  2. Just found a genuine Eero Saarinen tulip side table at a Hanwell junk shop for £10. It lives in my living room now. Score!
  3. Only four days until Halloween! Hooray, hooray!
  4. In Hyderabad, preparing for the first lamb biryani of the trip.
  5. Astonished to see Isabelle snacking on habanero pepper from plant moved inside for winter. Almost as astonished as Isabelle was. Yowch! Hot!
  6. Received 2 cryptic items of personal correspondence this morning. Mystery Monday it is. Where's Miss Marple when you need her?
  7. I'm annoyed that the Royal Mail is going on strike. Don't send anything to me. It won't get here.
  8. Well done Booker Winner Hillary Mantel! http://bit.ly/2tyO5t
  9. Quote of the day: "Looks like Daddy picked out that outfit for you!"
  10. Took myself out for a "girl day" Wednesday & came home w/ holes in my feet & food poisoning. Hrmph.
  11. My 150 allium bulbs just arrived in the mail. What was I thinking?
  12. @decor8 at Thanksgiving! I guarantee you'll be feeling the pinch trying to find turkey in Germany at the end of November.
  13. One nerine lily, nursed through summer & just about to flower; mowed down by slugs. I HATE THEM. Die, slugs, die!
  14. ISABELLE IS WALKING.
  15. Trying to keep my head above water; I'm neck deep in AS Byatt's new book, and watching Isabelle play dress up with the clothes off the line.
  16. My ear is still humming, although it's humming more tunefully than previously. What's that you say? There's no foghorn in this room? Wha?
  17. Wiped out after baby birthday party @ the Pilot. All the squirming and screaming and caterwauling. The headaches come free.
  18. Booker Shortlist announced this week; favored to win at our house is AS Byatt's The Children's Book (because it's the only one we own).
  19. Spent my day laboring in my garden and found a tiny potato in the soil. Wha??? There's a potato plant here somewhere & I'm gonna find it.
  20. Lost 10 lbs in split ends yesterday: my first haircut in months. I love you, Nicole!
