The dogs are curled up in front of the fire and the house has a warm quietness. This would all be very christmas-y if I had any decorations up yet. And cookies - I would have to be baking cookies. I'll aim for that next weekend.
The most productive part of my day has been reading Suite Francaise. To think this is so well written and it is a translation from the original French.
"He was a short man, with a weary, neglected appearance, but sometimes, when he turned towards her, looked at her, smiled at her, a loving teasing flame lit up his eyes - the same, he thought, yes, truly, almost the same as before. He helped her across the road and picked up the glove she'd dropped. She thanked him by gently pressing her fingers over his as he handed it to her."
Something about the quiet moment captured in that paragraph I really enjoyed.
Now comes the part of Sunday night where I stay up far too late because I know when I go to sleep then it will be back to work in the morning.
