Nora? anyway whichever you are right now - I am glad you are reading and engrossed in the Secret Scripture - we read this in our book club last year and absolutely loved it, it is great to hear him interviewed about it as he had an aunt who was Rose, and the story is based on what he interpreted happened to her, she had the child and was living in a hut on Strandhill beach, a surfer's paradise in Sligo. She was the family skeleton in the closet, the black sheep, and she was villified for what had happened to her. Society inIreland was very cruel and unforgiving for women and thousands of women ended up imprisoned in laundries of convents when they fell by the wayside i.e. had a baby out of marriage. the baby was always given for adoption and the mothers often were kept locked up as their families wouldn't claim them, a bit like Rose. <br />Hope you are feeling better now, and over your panic attack of later. Take it easy, and it will come right eventually. You have good support and a SPN on call is great to have access to.<br />Catherine.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-46310611747797857242009-09-24T21:24:30.051+02:002009-09-24T21:24:30.051+02:00Hi Nora.

All sounds lovely. <br /><br />I'm not able to do as much reading of novels as I'd like. I just don't have the concentration - or maybe the will to make myself read for prolonged periods. I've thought about putting books up on my site but there'd be an embarrassing number of Maigret novels up there! I've also read some Dorothy L. Sayers reacently and I'm reading The Comfort of Strangers by Ian McEwan at the moment. <br /><br />I don't know what to make of the Exfactor bringing biscuits. <br /><br />You're lucky to have colder weather. It's STILL hot here. I'm so tired of it. <br /><br />Sometimes I find that a blast of loud music can help get me going when I'm catatonically depressed. I haven't tried that method in a while because I've been too agitated recently and just want to calm down rather than gee myself up!<br /><br />Hope you're have a good evening. <br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Bearfriend xxFriend of the Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338137165061207438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-23433710930371171852009-09-24T16:11:39.699+02:002009-09-24T16:11:39.699+02:00And odd kind of day here.

I had an expartner who'd try and sabotage me with chips, he's chomp away loudly on them....<br />Passive agressive much?<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.com
