In reply to stargazer. Thanks Stargazer. Yes my book club did pick Still Life for our upcoming January discussion, so I'm looking forward to reading it. I remember you had really liked it so I sort of pushed it. I haven't started it yet but it's not far off now. I especially like its setting in Italy. Have a great week ... and thanks for recommending the book.

What a lovely winter photo! I hope you and your book club picks up Still Life. It’s one of my favourite books from 2022. Very cosy but also funny and quirky. I wanted to read Shirley Jackson for Halloween this year, but never got around to it. Maybe next year…

In reply to Judith. Thanks! Yeah. I think we're ready to be at the new place. Getting a bit antsy. It's been pushed back a couple times I think. We've been a bit in limbo which is wearisome after a while. We need to keep the focus! It might be nice out there in winter. We will see!

In reply to Susan. Best of all possible good wishes for your move to the countryside! A perfect time of year to move, so you can grab the best of the marrow of winter!

Nice Harvee, good point. Walking across that bridge is quite pretty in winter, especially that day when I noticed all the steam rising up.
My postings must be getting too slow – as I noticed you commented above, which is totally fine. I’m just slow these days. Have a great week.

I’d love to be on that bridge in the winter scene!

In reply to Judith.

Great to meet you Judith. Thanks for stopping by! Wow the Adirondacks must be such a beautiful place to live. I like the photos on your blog. And I’m honored to be in your “blogs of substance” – Wow ha! It seems we have much in common: from dogs to nature and reading and politics. Maybe we are near the same age group as well. I will be adding your blog to my regular visiting sites. Though my blogging has been a bit sporadic lately as things have been busy here since we are getting ready to move to the countryside (now in mid-January). I look forward to more chats with you. Cheers!

In reply to Greg. Great thanks Greg, I'm going to keep these sites. I actually have the jazz music on now. It is very relaxing. Perfect for my weekend reading and computer work. :-)

In reply to Susan.

I saw your comment about the jazz on my last Sunday Post and thought I’d reply here since I’m sooo far behind and you might not have seen teh reply there. Here’s a channel on Youtube that has great pieces like that one
