Weird food

Fruit sandwiches

Strawberry pizza (all you can eat)

breakfast doughnuts

and the first japanese lizard

While Monkey has been eating weird food I have been living a normal boring life and reading a not very interesting book. 'At The Jerusalem' by Paul Bailey is about Faith, and how her declining faculties mean her family put her in a home. I was hoping we were going to get a quirky group of old lady characters but it became a meandering story about her poor relationship with her step-son and his family, and her grief over her daughter's death. She is so distressed by everything around her that she just withdraws into herself, but you get such a fragmented picture of her that it was hard to develop much empathy for her. The book failed to engage me as it lacked either strong characters or strong relationships, which was disappointing because I have enjoyed several old lady stories recently.

Stay safe. Be kind. Try another book.
