Apr. 26th, 2008 07:22 pmTonight Mum and I had roast chestnuts and cups of tea for dinner.

I missed most of the afternoon tea (and three of the relatives), but my mind was fed with the Medieval manuscript exhibition at the State Library and I had spent quality time with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kesalemma and seen Lucy (briefly) again.
My day is full of charming accomplishments, in fact. I spent significant time in bookshops and my birthday book voucher is all spent. So is my teaching library budget. My snark budget is still overflowing. My luggage is very healthily heavy, especially since a sister and Emma both gave me yummy community cookbooks for my birthday. I can see a moment upon my return home when someone might have to be the victim of yummy community cookbook recipes. The Kentucky book, my mother observed, uses many tinned ingredients.
Anyhow, there are consequences to roast chestnuts and a big pot of tea. I find myself inexorably drawn to watching Harry Potter tonight.
