I’m impressed with your fortitude in finishing the book if you didn’t like it. Takes real commitment along with mental and emotional strength that. Respect to you 😂.

Oh thanks! That's very kind of you. I must admit I wanted to find out what happened, although I kept breaking off so I wasn't too immersed in the negativity. I much preferred her 'Provincial Lady' books, especially the one set in the Phoney War.

Lucky you! We only had a brief few hours in Dublin so perhaps one day I will go back and look out for the statue.
I will raise you a very English quotation of similar ilk: '…the sunshine is a glorious birth. But yet I know, where're I go, that there hath passed away a glory from the earth'.

We had a nice afternoon, taking the hobby car out for a run as far as the garden centre for free hot drinks with my membership. DH's turned into coke and a scone, so we did have to pay something, but I also had a voucher for a free plant within a certain range and chose a white Thrift. Very MSE. 😊
I've also picked up a free plant pot and coffee grounds - but forgot to take the little collection of plant pots to recycle.
We sat out in the sun for our drinks and I noticed a patch of untended land behind the garden centre. Looking on the map on my phone, I found a pathway leading through it so we investigated afterwards and found a small field that had gone wild (I gathered teasel heads), then a small woodland leading through to the new estate. Just a short walk but somewhere new to explore further some time.
DH had to get back to make a phone call and I used the time to make little cakes (a batch each of lemon curd and chocolate), some of which went to DH's church group this evening. Mine wasn't meeting so I caught up on one or two jobs.
Dinner was salmon with pasta, sauce and veg.
My only spending was to put petrol on my credit card as I get some Clubcard points that way. DH bought the refreshments and a painting (as one does). This one was £5 from a charity shop.
I really must go to bed now that I've printed out some activities to use in class tomorrow.
