The four crime fiction were all ones I'd ordered as was the Rachel Allen which Angela at Tracing Rainbows said contained some interesting recipes and also "A Basket by the Door" which is something that had come up on Amazon suggestions. What I didn't realise is that is Australian and just recipes using things readily obtainable there. I feel quite guilty for suggesting the library buy it!
The other two were on the library van shelves. "Home Economics" I've borrowed before but hadn't seen "Superfoods from the Garden".
So not really very much actual reading this month, good job I have 3 left from last month as well as the pile of my own To Be Read.
Below is last months heap and several went back unread for various reasons.
Tangent by Caroline Goldsmith was a novel sort-of based on the Ipswich Prostitute murders - didn't fancy reading after all and I couldn't get into "Death will find me" or "Head Count". I tried the Kate Atkinson book "Transcription" but couldn't be bothered with it. The three still here waiting to be read are "Middle England", Tragedy at Law" and "The Colour of Murder". Those I did read are on the Books Read 2019 page.
What a dismal day it was on Saturday, rain and wind just as forecast. I'd put an advert for Saturday into the Suffolk Smallholders Newsletter inviting anyone to see what there was for sale in the workshop. From a bale of baler twine and a flashing light for a tractor to nails and hammers.......... But No Phone calls to get directions. I thought the weather might actually be a benefit as no one could do much outside work.................... Looks like I'll be taking things to a car boot sale after all.
Thanks for comments on Saturdays post
Back Tomorrow

What a shame no-one came. It was horrible here too, lovely yesterday and back to horrible today!
ReplyDeleteI'd never have known that the Rachel Allen was Australian friendly either, seein as she's on UK TV. How disappointing.

It was the other book " a basket by the door" by Sophie Hanson which is the Australian one.
DeleteA housework day today I think
I would say everything edible from the garden is a superfood. What can be more packed with vitamins, minerals and goodness than home grown, freshly picked produce from plot to plate in a few minutes? Especially dandelions!
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at it yet - I'll let you know what his ideas are for superfoods
DeleteWhat a shame no one came - I am sure if you set up a stall outside B&Q you would get many takers! It might just have been a difficult weekend for people might be worth another go.
ReplyDeleteSunday was a better day for us more sun than rain.
Think B&Q might have something to say!
DeleteHorrible here today after yesterdays sun
Am I the only person, who happily watched the rain which my partched garden needed.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad of the rain too, but the water butts are all full so it can stop now please.
DeleteSorry you did not get any takers for your bits and pieces guess the weather was to blame. We have rain again to day but Sunday was beautful, I went to a pretty village with my D and DG to an open gardens day 12 gardens open for the Church Carol got several plants for she is redoing her garden. I only brought one plant Phlomis [2 plants in pot) quite big £1.0 so I was happy. We had nice homemade cake and tea.

I have a huge type of Phlomis it threatens to take over every year.
DeleteI didn't get to open gardens, there are more coming up in various places
Such a shame no one came by, maybe a car boot sale is the answer. Thankfully no rain here at the moment.
ReplyDeleteYes I'll do a boot sale and take the best stuff, whatever I can fit in
DeleteNot a nice couple days here either. I think a boot sale is in order.
ReplyDeleteAs for the books - sometimes I have to be in a certain mood to read something. I borrowed some from the library - they sounded great when I got them - but now none of them catch my fancy so back they will go.
Since Colin died I've not been able to get into anything serious, only crime fiction seems to suit.
DeleteYou might like my current book, The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware. It's set in Cornwall.
ReplyDeleteSue, please can you email me about the 'bits and pieces' you're hoping to sell? Details on my blog.
