A Bathtime blog

I am having a comforting warm bath after a long options choices day at school. It went well but my brain is actually hurting, probably because I haven't used it in such an intense way recently! Also my stomach is a bit sore after the pakora lunch kindly provided by the head teacher. I am soaking in water scented with lovely Fleur de Vigne (by Caudalie). This was my Secret Santa present at work last Christmas but I knew it was from Linda because she looked so pleased when I loved it! It is risky using my iphone to blog in the bath because I have dropped it in the bath before. I also use my ereader in the bath - I like to bathe dangerously! Then I may go downstairs to watch a film. Last night I finished reading "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese, which I thought was excellent. I think Jamie would enjoy it too because it is about a hospital in Ethiopia. I have now started a much older book "The Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton, which was published in 1920 and was set in the 1870's. I mostly (although not exclusively) read contemporary fiction these days, so I wondered if it the language and style would be a bit dated but it's absolutely fine and seems very well written so far. Well now I'm downstairs and I'm watching The Green Hornet with James and Davie (Ally is at a party). It is quite good fun.
