A read and a rest


I'm not feeling too good at the moment so I'm having a day in bed reading, Gould's Book of Fish, by Richard Flanagan.  
Although it is a harrowing tale I'm luxuriating in the beauty of the prose while lying in bed, with my dear little dogs for company and an array of beautiful birds gobbling the seed and fruit in the feeder just outside my bedroom window. Not a bad way to spend the day.
This is so nifty
Have a wonderful day
Love

    Hi Mel, lovely post. I hope you are feeling much better very soon. I had a day like yours yesterday, spent snuggled up with Ollie, although in my case I watched a series on DVD. Feeling unwell or not. I think we all need a day like that from time to time - it's good for the soul x

    Sounds like the perfect way to spend the day to me. The only blot on the landscape is that you aren't feeling well. Hope a day snuggled up with your book is just what you need to feel better. Read the synopis of your book..... the content would give me nightmares... good prose or not! lol Love the poem.....xxx

    Melody, sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Sounds like a day in bed is just what you need. Richard Flangan's prose is so beautiful, isn't it? Have you read The narrow road to the deep north yet? Just amazing! Love the poem and I am going to check out the collapsible thread catcher right now. hugs, Kaye
