Choosing

Cathy promised Lydia a new ring as a graduation present.
At our local Cartford Inn there is a girl who makes lovely jewellery so we went today & Lydia chose a ring she liked.

Three good things:
1. I think I’m getting to the end of my cold at last...my chest is easier tonight & I’m not wheezing quite as much thank goodness.
2. Cathy has lent me a good book she bought in Barter books in Alnwick....I have started it this afternoon & I think it’s going to be a cracker!
The Hearts Invisible Furies by John Boyne.
3. We are currently not minding any animals.... no holiday boarding duties!
Great title. Somethings I can choose quickly, others I dither!

Glad you're feeling better.
John Boyne is one of my favourite authors. I recently reread 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'.

@gijsje ah - read that one, Bep! It was a film too. How nice to support this young jeweller and have one of her creations to admire on Lydia's finger!

It's nice to have a little glimpse into the life of our fellow photographer. I'm glad you had three good things to share and are feeling better. I also like the candid photo. The counter work is quite rustic but the jewelry looks expensive. Nice capture.

A hand crafted piece of jewelry is an excellent gift, in my opinion. Glad you are feeling better and starting a new book.

@gijsje @maggiemae I have heard of that book, I remember the film but not read it yet....will definitely read it after this one.
