A Bloom, A Book and Supper

All alone in the narrow wall border, a Fritillary bloom  has appeared, much to our delight.

I’ve just finished reading a remarkable little book, ‘Grief is the Thing with Feathers’ by Max Porter. If any of you, dear Readers, have ever lost someone, this book will touch the raw grief and will hopefully also make you smile. I think it’s brilliant. The Guardian summary is exactly right.

A quick and easy supper was called for tonight, a delicious dish of comfort food – Macaroni Cheese to which I add little cherry tomatoes. It was good.

Hitchhiker’s Guide, Rodriguez and Comfort Food

1   BBC Radio 4 has done it again! This morning it was a live version of Douglas Adams’  Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with the original cast from the BBC radio series. As a family, we loved this and played it in the car on the long journeys from Yorkshire to Cornwall to visit my parents, resulting in knowing much of it by heart!

2    Serendipity struck happily again this week (love that word and all it means!)  Several days ago, friends shared the music of Sixto Rodriguez with me and I loved it. Then, not knowing about that, another good friend lent us the dvd, Searching for Sugarman, about two fans’ search for Sixto after he disappeared from the music scene. I know my South African readers will know this story – just want everyone else to know too!    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKYEYNX-Eug
