I was up early today because a friend came around at 9.00
to mend my front door. It only took about half an hour so that was a good start
to the day. I didn’t know what to do then so I went for a little walk. In the
Lions charity bookshop I found a few books, a book signed by the late Willie
Rushton, a book signed by cricketer Tony Lewis and a really nice book published by
the British School Of Rome about the archaeology of Sardinia which is in mint
condition. I’ll put those three in my shop tomorrow. I also found a hardback
novel by Rachel Joyce called The Unlikely
Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry. I was pleased to find that one because last year
I read another book by her called The
Music Shop which was very enjoyable. I have been reading it today and have reached page 80. It has
me gripped to find out what happens next and is giving me ideas about doing
more walking so that I have something to write about. I might go for a walk
tomorrow if it’s not raining.
