Clockal Embellishments

Pleasant things I saw tonight as I bicycled to the library: the children next door having an Easter Egg hunt, two little girls in dresses wearing rabbit ears, daffodils, and a couple on a tandem bike. Oh, and the sunshine.

Muriel Spark has died. Like Maud Newton, I’ve only read The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and The Finishing School, but will be taking up The Comforters upon recommendation.

Now reading An Audience of Chairs by Joan Clark. It’s pretty wonderful. And my 51st book of the year.
