random midday post

i think i should learn to sleep, or at least invest in a pair of dark cutains that keep the sun out.
woke up with a cut on my neck, proof that last nights sleep was troubled. i hate that, when i have a crap nights sleep, i wake up with cuts from where i've been scratching myself :/

read Zoo Sation this monring, excellent book, recommended for anyway who is interested in before the start of the Second World War, when the Nazis were first putting in the rules against Jews. It's about a english journalist (living and working in Berlin), John Russel, and what he does during those time. actually quite exciting.

also read The Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite yesterday morning, another great read. And i also recommend it, based in Berlin again. Lilly is an orphan, it's about her growing up, in the same times as Zoo Station, she becomes an actress, it's really interesting!

i'm not very good at book reviews :P

not doing much today, mums making lunch, might clean my room later, got to take Toby (my elder dog) to the vet at four. Something is not right with him, he walks around with his head down low, it takes him at least 3 minutes to get up the stairs, he takes a while to get up curbs and sit down. And, to anyone who has seen Toby off his lead on a walk, he doesn't run around anymore, infact he just plods along really slowly, eating grass. I am worried about him, we've not had them that long, but i cannot imagine life without them, they really are full of character, Toby with his duck feet, lack of teeth and major love for food, and little Lucy who has random fits of hyperness which involves her running around, throwing her biscuits and running after them, and her excellent meercat impression. sigh, i hope everything is alright.
