Although there in nothing much to report on the book front I can announce that I have caught the first sun of the year. If you put a traffic cone on my head and gave me a green skirt to wear I could probably help stop traffic. I did spend some time wandering around outside today. I went to see a friend of mine for a bit of a BBQ. However, I did not spend that much time in the sun. Just walking out and about for about 50 minutes in all. The rest of the day was spent sitting on a comfortable chair in the shade. Maybe they had some special kind of sun over where I was? It has been a good day today. Nice little BBQ, nice catch up and nice bus trip there and back. I like going on the bus. It was a double decker so I sat on the top level and just feasted my eyes on the gorgeous English countryside.... nice!
The not-book buying phase has still not come to an end.... might have to see if I can break the dry spell somehow. I just cannot get over how much new books cost in the shops nowadays. Normally I tend to pick up second hand ones and they are all just a couple of pounds, if that. Sometimes a new book even of just about 150 pages will cost £7.99...... I want at least 200 to 250 pages for that kind of money. I might have to resort to buying on line but have not really decided what has priority yet... soooooo many books to choose from.
The book of Graham Greene's letters is progressing well. You can actually recognise the writing from the books in the letters he writes. His sense of humor comes through as well. Still quite a bit to go on them so once I complete this post I will delve into some more of it.
