This novel is utterly brilliant. So enjoyable.
I have torn through its almost 500 pages since starting it at the weekend. I want more of Dave.
It made me laugh, smile, cry, reminisce, and think. 📚

I have felt absolutely miserable all day with a bad cold. But the chickens needed feeding and so I had to visit them in the pouring rain. The rainbow cheered me up.

My evening involves sorting out a thousand ‘in the green’ flower bulbs.
The community will be planting native English bluebells and snowdrops this weekend.

This novel is a thing of absolute beauty.
I cannot recommend it enough. It is superb.
The setting of London and life at Uni in Edinburgh was an initial pull and I also really enjoyed his memoir ‘The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between’.

Things have felt a bit heavy in recent days.
So I have cancelled things & reorganised/reprioritised other things.
A bit of space, some boundaries, cooking, gardening, & coffee w friends have all made a huge difference today. ☀️ 🌱

I’m enjoying a cold but sunny breakfast in the allotment polytunnel. We are just above freezing inside and -4°c outside. 🌱 ❄️

This novel was totally mad, dark, and unexpectedly funny. Recommend.
A much needed short read after my last read was hard work and ultimately unrewarding.

The hens were very appreciative of my efforts. Their run had become quite muddy in the recent rain.
