The road



Week Three

Mostly reading this week. Now paperless thanks to the Kindle though the bookshelf and loft are not as yet. The only time I pickup something in paper form now is a magazine or self help book- way too many of those. This week the highlight has been "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It was made into a film but thankfully I haven't seen it yet and much prefer to read the book first. Lovely sad story as so many of his books are.

Weather a bit milder. Not as much of a chance to sit out but plenty of chances to get out otherwise so doing that while I can. Anxiety still quite low but as always a constant companions. Not many flare ups though. Just more long school holidays dragging by.



Its not just indoors I have been reading but out too. As I said there have been some opportunties to get out. Kids enjoying it nearly as much as I am. Here the boy is enjoying an ice lolly getting more down his arm and front than in his mouth. Made a right mess of processing this one in Lightroom. Too rushed, too lazy, must try harder.



Lastly for want of anything else to post here is "Wee Jimmy". My wife took the kids to the garage to pick up the car. They are going on holiday. They came back with this little critter- a gremlin named "Wee Jimmy"- and a tall tale of said Gremlin only moving when no-one was looking. I love stuff like that, this one told by the garage owner- big Jimmy (who is about 6 inches smaller than me). The kids totally bought into it. So we have Wee Jimmy for good now all locked up in his jar. I know how he feels.
