Grey Saturday

Today I had a small success. For the past week Freddie would only sleep on my chest during the day, every time I put him down he was awake within minutes. This was not the case at night luckily but I got tired and ended up having no free time whatsoever. This was not ideal. So today I read up about it and got firm with him (which is very hard btw due to his extreme cuteness). But it worked and I’ve had 1.5h of free time so far, he is still asleep!

Here he is wriggling on the bed in the jumper I knitted for him. It fits perfectly and keeps the little fella warm in this nasty weather.

He started to smile at me as well which melts my heart!

In the meantime I keep myself amused with Boardwalk Empire

Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley

the new Penguin classics series for £2 a pop

discovering Vivian Maier who somehow reminds me of one of my favorite photographers ever – Dorothea Lange

    Well done on the napping triumph with the incredibly cute Freddie. I love Boardwalk Empire too – the costumes are really beautiful.

    if jane: thank you, it’s getting easier now ;)

    Trudi: the costumes are amazing indeed, so much detail, Nucky’s shoes are perfect, and his stiff collars so chic. All the dresses and underwear are just perfect.

    So I know this is an Ooold post, but I’m just catching up now, so I hope you don’t mind. Just wanted to say how much I love everything you write about here- the little knitted sweater, Boardwalk Empire (we just finished the last episode of the first season last week!), John Steinbeck and Dorthea Lange (somehow I get the feeling you have a thing for 1930s Americana…)

    Siri: yes, it is a bit of Americana, the depression era is one of my things, Grapes of Wrath being one of my all time favorite books.
