the sheds of famous writers.

roald dahl had one. mark twain did too. so did george bernard shaw and virginia woolf. they all had their private little writing spaces/sheds. it's exactly what i imagine for myself someday--a little shed on my property behind my house, maybe back in a valley alongside a stream. would you like a shed separate from your house--all your own--to write or scrapbook or quilt or draw or paint or practice whatever your hobby is?

what is your hobby?

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
