Earlier this month we had my husband's birthday and some surprisingly nice weather. He has been able to get out with his solar telescope in the daytime and a few evening sessions with his other scope. Perfect.
Now we are prepping for Hurricane Helene. Getting the Kindle, phones, etc all charged for the loss of electricty.
My week has been a dermatologist appointment, biopsy, bread making and a slow cooker recipe my son sent. The excitement never ends :-)
While looking at a news story on my phone I saw there was an Instagram post embedded and I couldn't access it. So I dusted off my old Instagram account to have a look. Then I tried to follow a few book blogs and authors. Apparently you have to get permission now even if the accounts are public.
Currently reading Trust and while very well written it's more narrative than dialogue. Thus I took a short break to read Sipsworth. I finished this in a day and it's a sweet story. Helen Cartwright is in her eighties and returned to England to live out her last years quietly and alone.
She had a full life in Australia with her husband and son but they are gone now. She isn't ill but she knows at her age the end is coming. Without friends or family she decides to settle in the English neighborhood where she grew up over 60 years ago. Helen finds that life still has a few surprises for her.
Simon Van Booy is an author new to me. He grew up in rural Wales and currently lives in New York, writing and volunteering as an E.M.T. I will seek out more of his work.
