A thorn between two roses

 

We're back into our daily routine of walking across the bridge into the village and back, and since this is Saturday, we dropped by at the markets where I picked up a well-thumbed copy of "A Year in the World - Journeys of a Passionate Traveller" by Frances Mayes and a book of essays, one of which was entitled "How Knitting Saved My Life". It certainly saved mine several times over whenever Padma's chrocheting kept her busy and quiet.

 

 

Padma picked up some more frilly bits and pieces and home-made greeting-cards before the highrollers from the Bay pulled in on the tourist boat, and we went to the café for a coffee (for her) and a Coke (for me; are you reading this, Des?) We're home again for Happy Hour which is my afternoon nap on the verandah while I listen to Bill Bryson's audiobook "A Short History of Nearly Everything" - sample it here.

 

 

It feels sooo good to be home again!
