Once again joining in with Ginny's yarn along.
So I am re-reading Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks.
I first read this book several years ago and thought it was quite good
and decided to have another go at it.
I think my current opinions on it are very similar to those when I read it the first time.
"It's quite good" but not a top 10 favourite.
The descriptions of life in the first world war trenches is impressive.
Knitting continues to be "those" socks for younger son, but I am on the home run.
One sock finished, and turned the heel on the second sock so the finishing line is in sight! Yippee!
And today's photo is rather special: I took it outside in warm sunshine, yes, warm sunshine.
Thank goodness I was working at home today and could nip outside to appreciate even just a few minutes some very welcome sunshine.
Do have a look at the gorgeous yarn Ginny is using, it reminds me of a green meadow full of summer flowers.
I hope you have managed to enjoy a bit of sunlight today!

And P.S. (all non-football-fans look away now):
well done Leicester City on winning the Premier League!!!

It certainly has been a glorious day much needed after all the weird weather of late. Beautiful yarn for the socks a really good mix of colour.
ReplyDeleteI bet it's party season on Leicester right now how exciting for all the fans.
ReplyDeleteWe read that book a couple of years ago in our book club, I really wasn't looking forward to it but I found it fascinating.

Your socks are so colourful.
ReplyDeleteNo longer a follower of Premier League football, still very happy for Leicester City,a momentous achievement for the team and their manager and the the loyal fans.
I like to re read favorite books because sometimes I love it more and sometimes I wonder why it was a favorite :) love the socks and being in sunshine. We have had a week of cloudiness.
ReplyDeleteSunshine and socks and a good (if not perfect!) book, sounds wonderful! X
ReplyDeleteThere was a mini-series on TV a few years ago made from Birdsong. I thought it was well made and quite true to the spirit of the book.

Hi everyone I'm Mrs. ALEKSI TAISIYA, My husband divorced me 2 years ago to live with another woman and i have tried have him back but i could not, so i try to do many things to get him back and he refuse to come back. One faithful Friday morning, I visit a forum for tips on how to get your Ex back and there i saw a lady testifying on how Dr.AKHERE helped her to get her husband back after he was tie down with a spell by another woman. Although I never believed in spiritual work I reluctantly tried him because I was desperate and i contact him and explain my problems to him, to my greatest surprise Dr.AKHERE helped me to bring back my husband after 5days and now my relationship is more perfect just as he promised. Getting your ex back permanently does not only bring back someone you love but it will also reunite your lovers feelings. My husband now treats me like a Queen and always says he loves me all the time. If you are passing through difficulties in your relationship, Doctor AKHERE can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and some other things. I can assure he's highly potent and reliable. Email him for urgent help [AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com ] or +2349057261346 .
