NOVEMBER FAVOURITES

November is ending... After the 8th of November, I was 'freed' and so I've been chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool with an array of grandmother activities.

1. English Breakfast Tea

 In the mornings, a tea bag + hot water + milk and either a banana, a slice of a chocolate swiss roll from Breadtop or cereal is all I need to feed my morning hunger as I write up my daily to do list.

2. Wallpaper*

Wallpaper is definitely my type of magazine.

3. 1Q84 - Haruki Murakami

Murakami would, hands down, be my favourite author (at this point in time). I've racked up quite a collection of his books, but there's still a lot out there I need to get my hands on. Before reading 1Q84, I read George Orwells' Nineteen Ninety Four for background knowledge. I don't want to leak any spoilers but I must admit, 1Q84 definitely makes you look at the world differently - as I found myself looking out to the moon at night thinking "if the time comes that I'd see two moons in the sky, I'm doomed". 

4. Looking For Alaska - John Green 

Looking For Alaska is a book I flew through (note: thick pages) which has events that hit you "straight and fast". My first John Green novel and I'm excited to read more from him.

5. Crochet - Circle Scarves 

Crocheting takes considerably less time than  knitting, so this month I chose crochet > knitting. I ended up making two circle scarves for winter in 6 months time - are you dumb? But no, I guess at least I'll be ready for the cold.

6. November Playlist (8tracks wasn't accepting my songs, so....)
