Arg! Exams to correct! Christmas presents to buy! Broken computer! Throwing up child! No time!
In reading, because even with all that stuff going on, I still must read a little bit. So when I get a chance, I peek in on the Rosecommon Mental Home in Ireland and listen to, captivated by, Roseanne McNulty's life story. She is over one hundred and has been in the home a long time. I'm not sure she should actually be there. (The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry)
Where is reading taking you today? answer in the comment or post to your blog. Let everyone know what interesting places you are travelling and people you are meeting.
Too bad that she is there for so long!
