The Day of the Triffads (spent years planning for the end of the world and wondering what clothes I should choose to wear, Levi black jeans won of course).

Inspir-at-ional
3. Your book of the moment?
Just finished reading No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.
4. What do you use to mark your page when reading?
Currently using an old photo, but could be anything from a parking stub to a hair tie. But definitely, most definitely, no dog ears.

Arm chair, corner of my lounge room, looking out at the trees
