August madness

I hate august.
Whatever i do, it gets to me.

Maybe I should just give up and take a whole month off, hole up in my precious grotto and devour books, ‘cos the only thing that this draught is good for – it is making imaginary worlds feel more real more easily.
You just have to reach out, a slightest notion is enough and a most vivid fantasy is real.
And I mean really REAL – of flesh and blood and bones, living, breathing, strugling.

Special book, art by scoutiegirl

Interesting book – you open it planning to read a few pages before going to sleep and suddenly find yourself still awake in 4 am.
Awesome book – one that forces you to laugh out load despite reading conditions/presence of others.
Fantastic book – one that makes you beaming with happiness and mirth while you run around, doing stuff.
Exceptional book – the one you start re-reading straight away.

and the winner is...

Gibbous Moon

Gibbous moon

There was a lot of mist around, but a few stars were visible overhead and there was a gibbous moon in the sky. Tiffany knew it was gibbous because she’d read in the Almanack that ‘gibbous’ meant what the moon looked like when it was just a bit fatter than half full, and so she made a point of paying attention to it around those times just so that she could say to herself: ‘Ah, I see the moon’s very gibbous tonight’.

It’s possible that this tells you more about Tiffany than she would want you to know.
