Reading for pleasure

I did something this Friday afternoon I hadn't done for ages - went into a bookshop and just hung out for awhile flicking through books. I could spend all day doing that. And I bought my first English book in ages called The Da Vinci Code, which I've heard a lot about including that it's going to be made into a movie starring Tom Hanks (of course). I've read a lot of German books over the last few months, which helped my German and was interesting, but there's nothing like curling up with a book in your native language and just switching off the outside world.

Speaking of which, today has been the trillionth hazy day in a row, with a high of 5 degrees C and pitch black as I look outside now at 16:10. Although Mystery Man across the road, whom I've mentioned in a previous post, has strung up some fairy lights and stuck some Santa candles in the window. Aaahh.
