COLD

Yesterday I have been walking with two of my girls and it was really cold. I had on a wollen shirt, two fleece-jackets, a rainjacket, two woollen caps, my jeans, two pairs of thick tights, two pairs of woollen socks and my woollen gloves. So you would think, that I was dressed warm enough. Especially, since I was walking.

But when I got home, my legs were ice-cold. Brrrrr. So I decided not to go shopping, if I had enough food at home. And going through my cupboards, and my pantry, I found I did. And I was really glad.
So what did I do? I listened to Pride and Prejudice and knitted a woollen cap.. My friend asked me - quite rightly - wether I wasn't already able to talk along with the book. And that is, for some parts at least, quite right.
But I just love the story. I found, that I prefer this one and Persuasion.
I do like Elinor from Sense and Sensibility, but Marianne gets on my nerves. And so does Emma Woodhouse. Fanny Price has some wit, but she is not always as sure of herself, as she can be. So sometimes, she is annoying, as is Anne Elliott. But they have charms. Anyway, Mansfield Park is very nice as well. On the whole. And a story, that Miss Austen wasn't able to finish: The Watsons, also Sanditon. Though with Sanditon it depends on who finished the story. There are at least two versions. Or let us say, I read two versions. And one was really lovely, but I can't find it anymore. Well, maybe one day I will find it again.

Right now I am not going to buy books, because I have so many unread books at home, I don't need any more books lying about unread. Plus there are things to read for school as well. Therefore, I will now go into research mode and then into fun-reading mode.

Keep warm and happy! I will for sure....
