Wednesday afternoon we had our book group meeting at the library. The building that is away from the main town street and up steps.. So I walk, up the ramp, what we call the 'long' walk.; the one good thing is that it ups my daily steps!
A recently new joined member wasn't there and I was very glad because, last month, all she could say about the book was that it was rubbish! She said that several times. I found that very offensive.. how rude! The person who runs the group said nothing about that comment, so I was going to this time. But she wasn't there!
The meeting was 12md to1:00, so ends at our lunch time. We usually trot off to Costa for a cheese toasty and coffee, no cake, we eat our own SW Hi-fi bar! When we came out, it was tipping down with rain, I wear one of those plastic hats! I'm not getting my hair wet! My mac only covers 3/4 of me , so couldn't wait to get home to get changed. I hate rain... At home we watched the rain coming down in sheets on our perfectly tidy garden, hurrah!! Just what it needed.
Your garden is looking beautiful. I have one sad rose in a pot and several olive trees in pots. I took down the umbrella sheltering the palm, think it can cope now it's in the 20c's.
ReplyDeleteBooks are very subjective arn't they, it's what makes for a good discussion sometimes, even if you didn't enjoy a book you can usually find something positive about it, to just dismiss it as 'rubbish' seems a bit negative.
ReplyDeleteThe seeds we planted a couple of weeks ago have germinated. I wish I could remember what they were! 🤣😂
ReplyDeleteTo dismiss a book as 'rubbish' is just lazy isn't it. She could at least have said "I didn't like it because ...'. 🫤
ReplyDeleteIt’s always satisfying when a bit of hard work in the garden starts to show its reward, especially once the plants fill out and everything settles into place. A good rain after all that effort can feel like nature doing its part at just the right moment. Sounds like you’re well on the way to a colourful summer ahead.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking great. We don't really have a garden, its just woods but we like it.
ReplyDeleteThat woman could have given a reason why she didn't like it.
Your garden is looking good.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Your garden is lovely. Everything is greening up here and flowering.
ReplyDeleteThe hard work will be well worth the effort when everything comes into bloom.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks lovely!
