an afternoon with Smaug

Watched The Hobbit: Desolation Of Smaug, on 3D. Loved it immensely, so brilliantly made.

And then there were these: 

A Php90 secondhand book, a collection of scifi short stories, that had the signatures of all the authors.

These Irish-themed books at ridiculously low prices. I've always had a soft spot for the Irish and their Celtic roots and their faery stories.

This London-themed stationery and tin box, the latter which became my savings box for my trip in, oh, 2015?

This new lamp on sale to brighten up my music and writing nook.

A strawberry-filled doughnut (and an original glazed afterwards) with brewed coffee for afternoon snacks.

Also, two lovely vintage-style dresses at fifty percent off. 

Not a bad day at all. Lots of little serendipities. Could use a few medium and big ones. Particularly with the medium and big matters. Such as love and London, for instance.
