Oh, this is exciting. I've been tagged. I don't even know what that means, although I've heard a lot about it. Like one of these magic words that bloggers throw about and me no understand. But maybe it isn't actually so complicated? Let's hope, because my brain is mince after a mad week at work during the day, and a mad week at home during the night. I'm going to sing hallelujah once the fourth molar (i.e. tooth number 12) has made an appearance let me tell you. Interestingly, a big bash on the eyebrow at bed time seems to have improved Cubling's sleep, although I wouldn't recommend to try this in your home as it looks ugly. I hope the social won't be after me... Just for the record, that bash was self induced by escape attempts from the changing table, resulting in a trip followed by forehead bash onto the edge. Anyway. Where was I? Ah, tagged. me.
So here it goes, thanks to zooarchaeologist (phew, there's testing my spelling abilities in the middle of the night)
1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 (or more) pages.
That's a challenge. There are about 123 books equidistant from me. Except for the one I'm currently (and have been for the past year and a half) reading, which is in the car (where I read it when Cubling decides to have a nap in the car seat and I'm too scared of either waking her or someone stealing her to make my way into the house). Now that one is Zadie Smith "White Teeth", but there's no way I'm going out to get it for number 2 and 3, so instead I shall pick... Rachel Seiffert "The Dark Room". Which I hope to read next.
2. Open the book to page 123 and find the 5th sentence.
If no one wants Mutti's money now, Lore doesn't know how she can make Mutti's jewellery last.
3. Post the next 3 sentences.
She is furious, frightened. A cart comes towards her on he road, the farmer raises his hat. Behind him sit people with bundles. The young man in the black suit is among them, legs dangling from the back of the cart.
(oh dear, that sounds like a cheerful book, maybe I'll read another book next...)
4. Tag 5 people.
Not sure how that works, but looking at how some bloggers do it I think it involves just listing people? And hope they read this? Because how would they know they've been tagged? Well then, while I don't think they necessarily read my blog, I currently read their blogs frequently, so I hereby declare croila, good enough mum, a midwife's muse, mother at large and you'll take an eye out tagged.

Thank you for that Cartside! I shall do my task on Monday when I'm not covered in icing sugar. I haven't read "White Teeth" but daughter has and recommended it to me, still sitting of my bookshelf.

you're making me hungry... happy belated birthday, hope someone made you a birthday cake too! I can thoroughly recommend White Teeth, and my slow reading is simply due to not getting much time for reading these days, but I savour every page of it. Shame I've only got about ten pages left...

Cubling is not too bad at all, or should I say, she saves the unpleasant sides of whatever she has for the childminder (hehehe). Happy first birthday to Sam (belated?) hope you had a good day!
