Saturday

It's been a very lazy day.  Relaxing coffee and croissant breakfast.  Reading much of the day apart from preparing dinner.

Finished reading Andrea Levy's  The Man Who Saw Everything.  It was a slow start but improved from the halfway point. The book looks at East Germany just before the wall came down.  How does such an event affect the collective psyche particularly those that lived in the East?  In my life it's still pretty recent.  I believe Angela Merkel found her experience of living in East Germany informed her politics positively. 

OH has loaned me The Whistle Blower by Robert Peston which is my next book.

The blip is of the compost heap when we visited the Fry Art Gallery gardens in Saffron Walden on Thursday.  OH does lino cuts and after seeing lino prints in the gallery I found I was seeing in lino and mono.  The colour extra is interesting too. The shapes and textures were arresting. 

Have a lovely Saturday evening.
