The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo

It seems as though everywhere I go lately people are talking about The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo... Looks like I'll be going to Amazon again... I really like Amazon to deal with as the books usually arrive really quickly, even though the booksellers are often in some far away place. My last book was an antique one, from the far north of Scotland, and arrived with a lovely note from a bookstore there.

The Work - Byron Katie

"I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn't believe them, I didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always." — Byron Katie

Sustainable housing - Woodland House by Simon Dale

How gorgeous is this... have a look at Simon Dale.net

"You are looking at pictures of a house I built for our family in Wales. It was built by myself and my father in law with help from passers by and visiting friends. 4 months after starting we were moved in and cosy. I estimate 1000-1500 man hours and £3000 put in to this point. Not really so much in house buying terms (roughly £60/sq m excluding labour)." 

From Simon Dale.net - lots more wonderful inspiring pictures to see there.

It reminded me of one of the gorgeous

Hobbit houses on Lord of the Rings. 

Tiny House Get Away

Picture from: Tiny House Blog

I'd love to sit in this getaway tree-house, what I love about Tiny House Blog is that they show all sorts of homes that although they are TINY they give you a gorgeous home for not a lot of money, and it's all yours.
