love, socks & books

love doesn't always need to be romantic... :-)

I said i would reward myself with a book, so ta daaaaaa! 

A few books. I can rarely ever buy just one book. 

Uncle Tom's cabin is a classic i've never read - it was published in the 1850's

and written by a woman - already impressive. :-)

I can't wait to read it.

I've always loved Jewish history, so i look forward 

to reading Gertruda's Oath as well.

And of course, how could i pass this up?

First of all, it's about Einstein & children, and secondly, it's $4.99.

It was said that Einstein had a great sense of humour.

When i saw this book cover of him in his fluffy blue slippers, 

it reminded me of an interview I once saw on tv

with Alfred Hitchcock.

He was a British film director mostly known for psychological thrillers

like the Birds, Psycho, etc.

In this tv interview, I was surprised at his sense of humour.

He said he once had a dinner party at his house

and arranged so that all the food was blue! 

The bread, the turkey, the potatoes, everything was blue -

even the drinks!

And of course, Hitchcock himself pretended that everything was normal.

Such a sense of humour coming from a man who made a living

scaring people half to death. 

A great reminder that we often

take ourselves too seriously...

we should all have our own colourful dinner parties,

or own a pair of 

fluffy blue slippers.
