Thank you for the books (4!!) and the kind invitation to Laura Child's Tea Party. I'd very much like to attend. I would also like to have Indigo Tea Shop just around the corner. There are times I like the athmosphere so much that I'd like to open a Tea Shop of my own. Then I come to my sences.
Murder is something I could do without. My friend was brutally murdered seven weeks ago by a man who had escaped from a psychiatric hospital and had come "home" to kill his own mother. Unfortunatelly Mommie Dearest had sold her house to my friend three years ago and forgot to mention her son that she had moved. You would think that things like this do not happen in real life, at least not in quiet idyllic countryside and to someone you actually know.

I am spending Christmas in a temporary doll house of a flat (24m2) as our block of houses have been taken over by Eastern-European plumbers and bathrooms blown to atoms. I have grown to like my little nest and especially the view as at home I only see the wall of the house opposite. If it is not cloudy, I can see the sun rise.
I am pampering myself with good books, spending the whole week by reading, napping and taking long walks with Doggy Dearest, exploring the island we are currently living on.
I didn't take along much Christmas decorations, but I do have this lovely towel from my favourite Tea Shop, Fortnum & Mason, which is one of my favourite sights in London. The shop is like a candy, unfortunately their tea is not much to write home about. Lately I've stayed in Mayfair when in London, so the shop on Piccadilly is close by.

Buying online. I've ordered from Amazon a couple of times, but only books I've haven't found elsewhere. And nothing in several years as I am "fully-booked" with bookcrossing books nowadays. But online buying kills small retailers and I in principle want to see the merchandise before I buy it and if it is clothing or shoes, want to try them on. Yes, you have two weeks time to return post-ordered goods, but that is too much trouble. There are some people who go and try shoes in a shoe store and then order the same shoes from online, but don't they see that soon there won't be shops to go to, if everybody did that? Of course online shopping is cheaper; they cut costs in salespeople and rent; they can keep their stock just about anywhere, the website does the selling and people who are working there only need to be able to read and pack up. What brought this up? Dubose, the beekeeper who praised Theo for being their biggest booster as people buy a couple of jars from her and even more from his website.
Before Corona virus we had meet-ups and could give books to friends. I miss that! Last Saturday I participated in a Bookcrossing Zoom meet-up. We were 17 bookcrossers at out computers or mobile phones. We could only show books and speak about them but books did not travel through internet like our pictures and voices. The good point is that I could meet bookcrossers from many towns like Turku, Tampere, Espoo, Helsinki, Hämeenlinna... while staying home at in Kerava.
In more than two months I have visited the centre of Kerava 2 kms away only once. One day I walked there to see the flowering cherry trees. There are plenty of them in Kerava.

Took from the meet-up.
Too many books, too little time.
