I've just come from the library with Inspector Rex DVDs this time, plus the book and DVD of To Kill a Mockingbird. Having read To Set a Watchman (thank you, Pearl) I felt it was time to revisit the Mockingbird. I have also re-read Catcher in the Rye which I'm sure we had to read at school and of which I had no memory other than what an arrogant jerk Holden Caulfield was and the phrase 'colder than a witch's teat'. It has improved with time, especially my time in New York. It is easier to look at adolescence when you are 64.
I took the photo on a day when the sun came streaming through the kitchen window. Despite my cropping you can still see some of the dirty window and the birds look a bit fuzzy with dust.
It is lovely to see you so involved in the community and puts my once-a-month stint on the National Trust desk to shame. It must be the melancholy of winter, for I too am revisiting books. Have just read 'Lorna Doone' again and am now immersed in 'Larkrise to Candleford' with its evocative picture of Victoriana English countryside. And I read a Poldark volume (I have the complete set) before each viewing. The flowers (home grown I assume) are gorgeous- who looks at windows and dust???? FF
ReplyDeleteThe hellebores are home grown but the stocks are 'potted colour'. I haven't yet planted the seeds you sent.
ReplyDeleteYou must re-read Mockingbird - it is quite cutting about those who do good works, as opposed to good people. It is such a wonderful book. And anyway, you tend the National Trust garden too.
I am now re-reading Watchman. I assume you're all read up for Poldark tonight.
