saturday afternoon
















Saturday afternoons have a magic all of their own. Even when the sky is overcast, they still seem to have a golden glow. Everyday chores have a strange beauty to them, and everything is captivating. My Saturday turned out relatively productive too; we made up a bunch of dried fruit and nut mixes, I worked on homework whilst drinking coffee, my drawers are very organised, and I got a batch of photos printed up, as well as baking peanut butter biscuits and writing newspaper blackout poems.

Maybe this is just me, waking from a paracetamol-induced stupor. I'm feeling much better after a week of feeling manky and even taking a day off yesterday, and the simple act of putting on makeup and a pretty dress has made the whole world feel new and exciting. I feel ready to take on just about anything.

How was your Saturday?

p.s. yesterday, after watching too many reruns of cash in the attic, i caved and started a tumblr.

  5. I know exactly what you mean about Saturdays Libby - I like to have Saturday as my school work and generally-being-productive day and then have Sundays to relax or go and meet friends or shop. Have a great week x

    1. This is where I embarrassingly say that, I still have a self-portrait, a painting and an artist analysis to be completed. But I've done all my boring homeworks already, at least!
