Spring into September

Spring is here, and the days are definitely getting warmer, brighter and the promise of the good things of the season. September is also a time of celebration in our family. My step-son turns 30, and we will celebrate our wedding anniversary towards the end of the month.

As I mentioned on Monday, spring brings with it some wonderful produce. I have the new copy of Dish magazine, and I must pick up Cuisine to read about this year’s ‘hat’ winners – well, I already know most of them but still, I want to read about it a bit more. Ottolenghi’s Simple Too is due out, and as I use Simple a lot, am looking forward to adding yet another cook book to my collection.

The diary shows the Suzanne Vega concert my friend and I bought tickets for months ago, the World of Wearable Art and a morning interview event with author Michelle de Kretser that I am looking forward too. We’ll no doubt get to the cinema one day too.

There are so many books piled up beside the bed, and at least three on my phone/iPad. I finished a book on the bus this morning and am in a quandry as to what to tackle for my weekend reading. I guess I should go with the library books first? But these two look very enticing….

There will also be some spring cleaning and very necessary clutter cleaning in the study which resembles a storage area rather than a room to be used. Don’t ask me if that gets done though!

What are your plans for September?
