I feel I just have to announce that this is my first post (cheesy-things-we-do).
Firstly, I want to share insight with you, as to what I was hoping to achieve with the title of my blog. Know too, that it took days of deliberating, that's what I do, I marinade choices before taking a decision spiced with a bit of procrastination to delay things even more. Not intentionally, I only ever piece my actions together in hindsight.
I am prone to verbosity and ramblings, this is where the term 'notebook' comes into play too; I'd have to force myself to keep things to a bare minimum.
Right back to the matter at hand: If you know me, personally, you'd know that I'm never without a notebook or even just a flimsy piece of paper to jot things down. I do it compulsively. I take note of topics that are current, that matter, that are controversial, trivia, details, quotes, my random thoughts, books I find interesting and would like to read, places to see and things to do, lyrics to songs, a line or two of poetry, new findings, notes on people who I find inspiring or simply alluring. See, I take note of many things and this is what I'm hoping to achieve with this blog.
So, defining quaint, it's easy to see how all this is coming together, right? I'm almost certain that every post will contain elements to appear pleasing, enchanting perhaps, slightly capricious and easily apprehended no matter how grave or silly they are. That has always been my writing style, obviously, it will evolve and mature, I'd be gutted if it didn't.
As I mentioned earlier, the 'notebook' bit is to further distinguish that this blog will be filled with a plethora of notes. My notes. A notebook can be defined as a book(let) in which notes are kept or a small laptop computer. Quite fitting, I reckon.
So welcome to Lucinda de Leeuw's blog, Her Quaint Notebook, where you'll be intimately enthralled in my commentary, interpretation, explanations, findings, observations and the like, of everything and anything that matters to me.
