I continue to be tardy with #readchristie this year. I’m just about to start their October suggestion, on the 28th! I know nothing about this one, except that it fits this months theme which is "lawyers"

Typical. America’s leader announces everyone in Ireland is dead & I live on my own. I didn’t get to see the rapture! Why am I being cancelled & why are there all these dead birds in my flat? Why is it middle aged White men in Dublin who must suffer most? Seriously what’s with the dead birds?

Okay, I'm well behind on #readchristie now. I'm just about to start the August pick! However, I'll skip their suggestion for September (which I read quite recently) so I'll be caught up again soon 🤓📚

So... it seems my name was in the daily record, though they never contacted me or asked permission to use my text. I certainly never spoke to anyone, though they "quoted" me - with errors! Here's the actual blog post, if you're interested 😊

Just another day in Charlotte Square here in Edinburgh.
Yes that’s man on a bike in full Polo attire, hitting a ball down the street.
My first visit here. And it’s wonderful to be in Edinburgh.
