Llama

Lackadaisical
OK – not a word i use often.. but what could be better…? Languid, with a daisy in it. Florally languid. Something I wish I was… I’m more florally manic.
Lamb
A pet. I think we should all call each other ‘lamb’. In a sweet and caring way.
Library
My whole house is full of books. I have thousands and it’s my weakness. I can’t stop collecting them. They have spilled out of the bookcases – of which there are seven.. and are stacked in various piles about the house. And don’t even mention magazines. I have hundreds piled up in my stairwell.. mostly decorating magazines, as they are full of great ideas that I can use in the store. My favourites at the moment are Blueprint, Domino, UK Elle Decoration, Frankie & Living Etc. And I just saw a great mag this morning that i WANT. It’s an arty/wordy mini mag called KAREN. It’s expensive, but thought provoking and funny. I’m saving up for that one.
Lager
It’s not pretty or floral… but I like it. Don’t drink it too often.. it makes you fat.
Love
Love is all you need – right Molly?
Like
I like lots of things.. I’m the queen of like. It seems to me it’s cool to be cynical, and un-liking these days. But let’s happily buck the trend and try and like more and resist less. After all, what’s not to like?

pip, i’d love to have a look at karen – if you’ve seen a hard copy about town…where?
you can never have too many books, my lamb. there will always be more bookshelves… i do have a trick for decreasing the volume of magazine stacks that works well for me…let me know if you want to try it. lovely post!
I am really enjoying your encyclopedia. Kind of a free-flowing, James Joyce approach. I think, being on the letter “L”, you are further along than anyone else doing this meme.
