After finishing the Oscar Wilde fairy tales (yay!) I felt the urge to pick up my mystery books again, so I started on an untouched Hercule Poirot novel. And my goodness...I really do miss this feeling of being transported into a whole different world with different sights, different sounds; a culture of its own (gosh...the power of fiction. You were right, as usual). Reading it in my rather dim, orange-lit room with the curtains drawn and the sky darkened makes me secretly wish that I were really there.

Happily indulging in my own fantasies of living in Europe as a young adult without a care in the world. I suppose that's the same reason why movies have the appeal they do. Even boardgames, judging from last Sunday. Healthy escapism, haha.

A lovely morning spent :) started my day with my Priority and followed it with a quiet breakfast of eggs, toast and tea. mmmmm. this is the life. Will I be able to live like this when I grow up? Sadly, I don't really think I would.

And so I have decided!!! Since I have so many things I want to do right now, but I have the same 24 hours a day as everyone else, I shall endeavour to wake up earlier every single day, and spend less time lazing around or pressing the snooze button. It really feels like I'm buying time. Ahh.. This moment in which I make friends with my ex-nemesis, Mr. Alarm Clock, will be remembered always as a significant turning point in my life.

Happy Friday! Off to bake :D

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word
