Short but sweet. Lovely garden pics.

Hope your low-level bug has now gone away. I had similar last week, but it seems to have cleared up now.

Good to hear, and thanks. I almost (*almost*) enjoyed being at work on Monday purely because I felt myself again. 😅

Lovely photos of a spectacular garden! Perfect for a dreary Monday morning. Thanks for taking the time to put that together, Terry! Now, about those bath photos...?

Thanks for the beautiful pictures to start the week. And You've convinced me to order the Irish stories collection. I am also looking forward to your review of "How Words Get Good." I can always use some advice on making my writing gooder.

Really? But I hardly said anything about it. It's edited by Frank O'Connor, who apparently continued to work on stories even after they'd been published. He has two stories in the book. One is Guest of the Nation, which I've read, and the other is My Oedipus complex, which sounds interesting. Another story is Jury Case, by Eric Cross, and that is an absolute hoot!

Yes, it sounds great. You mentioned it last week. And I see he’s included one by James Joyce.

No I haven’t. Looking forward to it.

A great start to the week - I loved the garden pics in particular.

And yay to the Oxfam purchase!

I'm looking forward to reading your review of 'How Words Get Good' - I might then need to add that book to my own wishlist. 😊

Indeed, Kathleen. They are very relaxing, and much faster than yoga😂😂 Actually I am going to start doing yoga again, partly inspired by you 😃

Well, one can do yoga whilst gazing at flowers... :)
