Daily Notes for Sunday May 24th. Two British Soccer games being recorded. Cloudy and 60 degree in coastal Maine.

 I am not sure but this might be a South African flower of some sort. Has no title.

I'm cold...I have on a thermal long sleeved shirt snd a vintage cashmere sweater...I say vintage because it's thin- worn see thru thin and not very warm.  I woke up COLD and I haven't been able to shake it off.

I just walked back to the bedroom to gather up this old piece of rayon (a long rectangle)- black and slippery but warm "none the less"...it's patched etc and someone in the past poured bleach on it.  Randomly.  It isn't something I would ever wear in public.  Somehow it keeps me warm...

Today is Sunday Pizza.  

A long awaited new book by an author I like arrived at the library for me...I started reading it yesterday..it felt familiar. ... the Paris Match.  By an author I like very much.   I kept reading and it was all TOO familiar.   A fresh new cover and inside the date 2026.  And NOT a new book.  An old book I hadn't enjoyed reading the first time they printed it.  I looked in my bookcase to see if I had purchased the earlier copy...I had not..(thank goodness).  Clayborn.  

Love Lettering is my very favorite of her books. The only other book of hers I don't own is Georgie Girl...I didn't like it.  I read Paris Match years ago and it was just as awful as it is now in the fancy new cover.  They changed nothing but the cover and spent considerable cash advertising their NEW book.... Thank goodness I didn't buy it.  A re-print.

I'm warming up finally  The old rayon wrap does the trick.  It's chilly here in Maine- off shore winds.

Nothing more to say...it seems I am surrounded by disappointments lately...even Storage Wars last night was a disappointment.  Really hard for something so awful to disappoint.

I should have bought the corn chips....on Friday Grocery Day. We could have been "salty" together... 

Reading Two For the Dough....from a far away library... Three and Four arrived from my own Library. No Five as yet.... but do have Six, Seven and possibly Eight from other Libraries. I'm not getting up again to look.

Two is "flat and dull" so far...perhaps why I don't own ANY of the others.  Characters sliding in and out and Reader not given a reason to like any of them.  Even Ranger...

Well, I DID get excited about the chocolate covered donuts she buys to share with Morelli.. But..CHOCOLATE COVERED DONUTS?????  Who wouldn't get excited.

Joan I am waiting to read what you think of book two.
