The birthday.

Twenty five. Twenty-flooping-five. 

Me, post birthday celebrations on Saturday.

This is my new age and I sort of like it! Monday through Wednesday were more or less spent in a "getting to grips with being half way to thirty" stupor, but in the midst of the birthday blues I made a decision, a small one, but still a decision. I need to read more. I used to love reading and although I still read, it's become a bit of a chore and I'm not excited about it anymore. So to remedy this I've ordered myself a Kindle, 'cause you know how much I love new technology! 

When it turned up today it wouldn't fit through the letter box and my Mister didn't hear the doorbell, so it's been sent back to the sorting office! Now I have to wait 'til the morning to pick it up. 

*sulks*

There is an empty space where my Kindle should be...

While I wait for my ereader what thoughts do you have on books I should read? I feel like reading something a little whimsical; nothing too depressing. Is there anything out there you think I might like? Suggestions please! Old books or new. I'm not a fussy girl.

Oh hi, Monday.

Good Monday morning, Bloggeroo's. Up early to bring you lots of sunshine to start your day.

*sprinkles sunshine* If it rains...I had nothing to do with it. 'K?

Kate over at Kate's Irrelevant was sweet enough to ask me to be part of her "Getting To Know Your Favourite Blogs" feature a few weeks back and I thought you should all go and get to know me a little better!

And to finish let's have some pictures that inspire me...

I tried to credit these pics but it seems after multiple tumblr-ings the original photographer's have been lost. If found please return to my email box so I can credit properly :)

Be spectacled.

When they were new I loved my glasses. I had two pairs, one red and one black, although only the black pair survived the days of student living in one room with everything on the floor. Yes, I stepped on the red pair and snapped them in two... These frames have seen me through a lot and I've seen a lot through them! But they are scratched, quite badly and look kinda shabby now. Plus I haven't had an eye test in three years. So, I'm seeking out new frames.

Noting a colour theme... and a definite leaning towards the vintage style. The upswept sides are so sweet, but for everyday? Not sure if I could pull it off. I really like the first pair. They've got a vintage look without going over the top. I do REALLY like the third pair though... What do you think?
