Running Around

Oh boy!  I have had to come up to town to open the town-house for the electricians.  I couldn't work the key in the lock, or find the switchbox and I hate the $5,500 fences. They are durable, but look terrible and far too expensive for what they are.

There is no water pressure to clean the pavers, which I had to sweep because the were covered in leaves. My husband comes up to town twice a week for rowing, this is his total pre-occupation and my son is computer nerd! He never goes in the back garden.  Now it is raining, hard.  Not my day!!

But I have had a couple of very enjoyable books.

"Trees in Winter" arrived in the post and I read it in one sitting.  I just love his lino prints.  How he gets to include so much detail is amazing.

The other book is so rich in detail it is going to take some time to get through and I want to visit her sources for myself.

I have never heard of some of the sources or the concepts raised before.  But I don't doubt what she is saying.  An eye opener this one and it needs to be widely read.  (I hope it will be included in the reading for Women's Studies at the Universities.). I have it for a month from the library but I think I would like it for my own library.

The Lino prints are pure indulgence the other is a lot deeper.
