Reading plus coffee, especially on wintry days, can be very addictive...https://t.co/3Pg6F5MEkO

it's reading weather...

when a blanket and hot coffee
supplement the joy#haiku pic.twitter.com/PzsgSmoZc8

calmly reading...

calmly reading
seeped in autumn's
afternoon twilight
an alternative reality
a real alternative#tanka

secondhand books + reading...

My kinda space in heaven...a Berkelouw kinda vibe...
'Secondhand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.'

Yesterday= my first 'nothing' day after returning home from the last hospital round.
Heat flattened me. Felt guilty...I should have been doing more gardening now all the boxes are unpacked, but couldn't face it.
I read instead.
Today seems to be evolving in much the same way...

verandah reading + spotting today...

Recent rainy day photography tended to be limited to taking photographs of  'whatever' from the verandah...

There were a few macros...

But today was different...

I returned to reading the long-neglected but wonderful  'The Book Thief'... in verandah sunshine...

Revelled in verandah light and shadows...

Great to see some winter afternoon street travellers enjoying the sunshine...

Loved the company of my neighbour's fluffball...(I call her Munchkin for now)...

Once afternoon cool emerged, I was quite content...happily returning to the indoors...

My soul felt nourished...

with a little help from my daughter's delightful, home-made chicken and vegetable soup...
