Its summer in April here ... such a joy to stitch and read outside.
I've added some feather stitches to the stitch-a-day piece ...
and finished reading Sarah Lapido Manyika's wonderful book. Like a Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun.
This is a short coming of old age book, with all the issues of disappearing independence that reaching her mid-seventies and slipping from the edge of the bath brings to Morayo De Silva. She is on of the most memorable characters I've met in a novel for a very long time. The prose is beautiful, events and the other people in Moraya's life are touched on in just the right amount of detail and honesty ... I just loved it.
