The light is fading fast this afternoon, so I’ve lit the candles and made mugs of hot chocolate. I spent the morning cooking and cleaning as we have guests for dinner tonight, it’s very nice to sit down and relax now. I shall crochet a little more of my blanket. See last week’s Yarn Along post if you’re curious about why I’m only showing you the ends for now.
Last night I read ‘Lost Hearts’ in this M.R James ghost stories collection before sleep. As usual I felt quite spooked out. I’m going to read another tonight and anticipate feeling pretty scared, the sweetener is that at least it’s while snuggled down warm in bed. I’ve learnt it’s best to go to the loo before reading, so I don’t have to run there afterwards dodging shadows!
If you fancy reading some very old ghost stories (late 1800s, early 1900s) M.R James anthologies are free on Kindle. At least they are here in England.
I’m joining in with Ginny‘s Yarn Along again.
The Little Room of Rachell 
I think I’ll leave the scary stuff to you. I’m reading “Coming Home” by Rosamunde Pilcher and am on the last pages and I don’t want it to end.
Rereading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. Wish I could write half as well as he does :-)
I am no good at scary right now, more on the
Iighthearted side. It’s funny how these things come and go! Do you like Edgar Allen Poe?
I have to admit I having read any of his writing.
