More Books from the Library

    My latest haul from the library - thanks be that they are to remain open for pickups during our latest lockdown!

     I have finished "The Sea Gate", a quirky but entertaining adventure spread over two time periods, WWII and present day with lively and endearing characters. 

    

   Currently reading (and thoroughly into) "The Butterfly House", a crime/detective story set in Copenhagen by a Danish author. The translation is a little awkward in places but doesn't detract from the overall quality of the writing.

   

   Dipped into "The Forgotten Sister" but not really entranced by it, although I do love historical fiction (this one is Tudor times and present day). I will certainly give it a go.

Easter Sunday

    A new date three weeks hence has been established for our Easter meal and today worked out rather well. We were blessed with wonderful weather, treats were exchanged (and consumed) and , all in all, everything worked out to perfection. 

  

 As you can see, it is definitely T-shirt weather. and lots of lovely treats. (computer refusing to let me rotate a couple of shots so just turn your computer sideways!) The tiramisu was delicious and I can't wait to get in to the truffles after a month of abstaining from chocolate.

Best Laid Plans.....

    Easter lunch at my house has been postponed -  daughter's class had a COVID exposure and, although none are sick we decided to err on the side of caution. So the leg of lamb and other goodies have been consigned to the freezer and we will just meet outdoors for a brief visit.

    I have been assured there will be chocolate treats if I am willing to provide coffee. No complaint there, just hope it's sunny and a little bit warmer. A photo or two will be taken but no hugs yet!

Braving the Elements

    The daffodils have finally opened so I will have a nice bunch to bring into the house for the Easter lunch table. Now the big clean up begins!

   It was sunny but bitterly cold today, not much above freezing. I did manage a walk and came home to a warming bowl of soup which had been bubbling away all morning. My favourite carrot and lentil concoction with some crackers and cheese makes an easy lunch.
