It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line


These are part of the lyrics (and a picture with words over it which I put together; the picture is not mine though) of "A Team" by Ed Sheeran. This song is poetry incarnate, with words that make you think, make you question and take you on a journey. I love the line "it's too cold outside for angels to fly". I think it is so very very beautiful.:D

I made this one above. This the "Me Sarcastic? Never" photomontage of Will and Tessa my fave couple pairing!

message 7: by Sue (new)

Sue (youvebeensued) My favourite thing for this week is a song called, "Satyamev Jayate", meaning truth will always win. It was first spoken by the one and only Mahatma Gandhi, during the struggle for Indian Independence. The meaning of the song touches my heart, while the video says it all. The music video features, Aamir Khan, a renowned Bollywood actor. He goes throughout the country, and brings out its various cultures and colours. I deeply feel very proud of my nation. :)

I know, you guys won't understand the words, but if you wanna see the video, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXg6Us...

Enjoy. :) Happy to share to my thoughts! :)

You're welcome Rimpy! I really enjoyed it without the meaning so I feel like if I did have the meaning I would have enjoyed it 20 times more!!

*chuckles* Really glad to know that! :) But trust me, the meaning touches your heart. :)

L | 1252 comments The favourite thing of this week, was to awaken this morning to the postman banging so loudly on the door that i thought he was going to knock it off its hinges!!
Image and video hosting by TinyPic (Not my actual door!)
He had a whole bundle of parcels containing books and there were a couple of things running through my mind...
1. that it was like Christmas & my birthday all in one
2. I am going to be so bogged down with reading and writing reviews after review!!

message 21: by L (new)

L | 1252 comments I have finally finished reading Diana Gabladon's 'an echo in the bone' after months!! An Echo in the Bone (Outlander, #7) by Diana Gabaldon
I am totally square-eyed & exhausted, but it was so worth it! For those of you who love historical fiction with a twist, then i highly recomend this (although it might take you as long as reading the book to reading my review on it!!)

Lucinda x :)

I love Merlin. Cannot wait for the next season to come out on Netflix! Morgana, Morgause, and Nimueh are like the most beautiful villains ever.

Favourite thing of the week has been downloading Pretty Little Liars 1 x 10 episode putting it on my tablet, popping a batch of homework and eating it whilst watching. And then having an ice-cream afterwards.

Don't worry I don't like this all the time. It was a one-off thing.

My other favourite thing of the week was reading for two hours straight in the middle of the night.
