What Easter?

Too much to do to take the day off. At least I got my weekly dose of yellow when I went grocery shopping this morning. Trader Joe's had two varieties of daffodils and some pretty bluish flowers (name anyone?) in bright vases made of strawish material. I got green and yellow vases.

Troppo da fare per prendermi la giornata libera. Almeno mi sono procurata la mia dose settimanale di giallo quando sono andata a fare la spesa stamattina. Trader Joe's aveva due varietà di giunchiglie e dei fiorellini blu-viola (genzianelle?) in vasi coloratissimi fatti di materiale fibroso tipo paglia. Ho preso verde e giallo.

Between getting house stuff done and business papers organized (a neverending process), I started working on my assignments for an online class I am taking at UCLA Extension.

Fra i lavori di casa e la riorganizzazione cartacea per l'ufficio (un'impresa che non finisce mai), ho cominciato le letture per un corso online che sto facendo con la UCLA.

Kelvin is always more interested in water, but Pipie had a close look at my papers.

Kelvin è sempre più interessato all'acqua, ma Pipie ha dato un'occhiata alle mie lezioni.

And then some book-logging between upstairs and downstairs. After our friend Ed moved out, I started filling up the bookshelves in what used to be his living room.

E poi un po' di sfacchinaggio a trasportare libri dal piano di sopra a quello di sotto. Da quando il nostro amico Ed ha traslocato, ho cominciato a riempire la libreria in quello che prima era il suo soggiorno.

It's going to take some time and for now I am simply putting books on the shelves based on size (some books only fit in the tall center shelf) and broad grouping. I'll refine the arrangement later. My tiny office has been overflowing with stuff and being able to move some of it out is a big help.

Ci vorrà del tempo e per ora archivio i libri solo in base alle dimensioni (certi libri possono andare solo nello scaffale alto del mezzo) e criteri grossolani. Farò meglio in seguito. Il mio ufficio è molto piccolo e da sempre stipato all'inverosimile. Riuscire a togliere qualche libro è già un aiuto.

Happy holiday weekend to you all.

Buona Pasqua a tutti.

Buona Pasqua to you as well! You have a fabulous blog, which I found a few weeks ago while looking for instructions for the Italian Tubular Cast-on. Thank you for such clear instructions!

As fate has it, I am moving to Italy in a couple of weeks :)

Cheers,

Happy Easter to you, too!

Buona Pasqua anche a Te e buon lavoro pure. Pare che tu abbia scelto una festa con "riposo attivo". :-)

I see you have some basilico growing on your window still :-)
SO much space to fill with books! I'm so jealous - we are have passed to the "two rows of books" phase in our bookshelf, so you can't even see half of them...

Happy Bunny Day to you, too!

My male cat loves water, too. He especially likes to see bubbles. In the winter we use portable humidifiers in our livingroom - every so often it bubbles in the watertank. My kitty will then stare at the tank for hours waiting for more bubbles. He is so funny!

Happy Easter! Are the flowers harebells of some kind (or is that just a British English name?) We are having the most glorious spring weather in the UK but I'm counting down the days to a trip to meet my husband's family in his native south Africa.

I can't help noticing your herbs are growing so well! My tiny rosemary is starting to get yellow ... maybe I didn't water it in the right way? I don't know. I'm extremely jealous about the book space too!
Happy Easter!

Happy late Easter! Beautiful flowers and I wish I had that bookshelf!! Your cats are the best!

Wonderful book shelves!! I know that you'll be putting them to very good use.
