Transient Autumn Days

Tabi SocksAutumn weather here is so unpredictable, I went down to the market to buy some fruit and it was clear and sunny but on the way back I had to walk quickly to outrun the rain! Big fat heavy drops in the humid air.

Today was rather lazy and relaxing for me, its nice to slow down once in a while after a busy period. I watched some japanese dramas I had downloaded the night before and baked a yummy carrot cake which is perfect with with tea and a thin layer of melted butter. I promised I would take a photo of my adorable new socks, so here they are! Its cold enough now to wear socks and slippers around the house and these have become my favourite pair. The little rabbits and sakura blossoms are so sweet.

How are you going with your Princess Challenge for the month? I’ve made a document on my computer with a line for each day, and I have been filling it in with something beautiful I saw that day, before I go to bed. Most of them so far are about nature, so I think I need to focus more on people now. Even if you don’t manage to find something for everyday, try and record those that you do notice, it makes a lovely little list to read on your less-than-perfect days.

What a sweet picture - and such adorable socks!

I haven’t been doing very well on this month’s Princess Challenge due to school and exams, but maybe that’ll improve once summer vacation comes. ^^

Hi, I’m a new fan of your blog. I’ve been reading your blog for a week or two by now. Got a little suprised by this “atumn weather”.
