fun stuff: khaki and capital

somewhere ... they say,  'life only gives you as much as you can handle."

well, despite everything that is causing a lot of stress in this little head of mine, 

i caught the nastiest of colds over the weekend (not fun at all...i tell ya !).

on a positive note, i got a lot of rows done on my khaki blanket,

 in between sneezes and coughs and trips to the kettle for more lemon tea.

 i was too dozy to read but i did start a new fiction before my sinuses broke loose.

a good friend of mine, a very successful real estate agent, gave me her copy
 of john lanchester's capital.

it wasn't a title i would have picked up on my own, 

(me - the anti-capitalist, the wannabe non-consumerist, and aspiring minimalist) 

but, to my surprise, it is proving to be a really good read.

there are plenty of characters to get to know 

and although i'm only a few chapters in,

 the author has presented a good grasp 

on the idea of finding true abundance in such 

a money driven-flip-your-real-estate

and move-on-to-something-bigger-and-better culture.

what are you knitting? reading? 

care to share?
