Lazy

I am not sure that the title of this post adequately reflects the last week. I have been very busy researching and writing a literature review for CCS Disability Action on disability and access. This has taken up most of my time apart from lunch with a friend and a 'drawing room' concert at Waikato University on Sunday. The next few days are really busy with Dio, more research and meetings. I feel so much better this winter than last but am regretting not having some time for creative writing and art journaling.



I have struggled to get involved in this book which by all reports is amazing. I think my days have been so busy I am finding it difficult to concentrate late at night when I turn my VRS on. Set in the 1930's between the two world wars, it is the story of Anne who embarks on a new job and a new life and ends up having a torrid love affair with a married war veteran. I may need to take my VRS to work to be able to listen to it at any length.

I keep being drawn in by the free memoirs and other books offered on Amazon.com. Today I purchased



This is a travel memoir, a nature lovers memoir and includes passion, unexpected love, shocking loss and the discovery of a place she can finally call home. It appears to be a somewhat reflection of parts of my life so I need to get on reading Zealot on my kindle and return to books which grip me and which I cannot wait to return to each day.

I have also recently purchased:





I have to confess I won French Illusions in a competition during the summer fete on WLM Facebook site. I had to take a photo of my lava lava with a WLM sign beside it and hey presto, a new book to read gifted by the author.

France seems to be a continuing theme of my reading so perhaps I should note this longing and plan a holiday there in the not too distant future. I found France to be a wonderful tapestry of colour which spread out like a patchwork quilt from the train. I would love to return.



 



Dreams are free, just need to get my health organised first.
