The Pleasures and Sorrows of work

I am so excited to read Alain de Botton's new book!

So beautifully written, its like food for the soul. And he's coming to Sydney next month, I can't wait to see him!

Can you believe my friend took these amazing photos?

I think she deserves a wider audience than facebook

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love interesting window displays....none of the attention grabbing stuff like live models, but just pretty, inspiring things that make you smile as you pass by. There was one near my house of a black dress and coat with a long pea-green scarf. Simple, elegant, eye catching. I was so sad when it was replaced!

I love everything about this book, the cover, the title and the first page. It was written in the sixties, and normally I dont like science fiction but the opening is great! It's so kooky to read what people thought would be happening in the future (at that time, the nineties).
