The raging storm that will beset us for the whole weekend takes me back to
from ten years ago. On that particular October of 2014 the weather did calm later, presenting similar scenes to those we experience at the moment, although respite will not come for a couple of days.
I am feeling much better after my BCG vaccine instillation and will be taking another day’s rest, fortunately enforced by the weather.
Today I finished reading “The Heart of the Family” and began drafting my review for completion tomorrow.
This evening we dined on succulent roast lamb; mint sauce; crisp Yorkshire pudding; boiled new potatoes; crunchy carrots; pure white cauliflower; flavoursome Brussels sprouts and tasty gravy with which I drank Collin-Bouriset Fleurie 2022
I am glad to hear you are feeling better and getting in some more reading, Derrick.
I don’t think I would like Heinrich Hoffman’s children’s book either. Yikes! 🙂
Thanks very much, Lavinia
I first read the title as Gals and Drafting… 🙂
That’s one of the wonderful side-effects of blogging; we are reminded how temperature differs from one year to another.
Glad you are feeling better and what a wonderful excuse to read more!
Thank you so much, Dale
I saw I had already left a comment from the future on your past post, so I didn’t do another, as it might really affect the time-space continuum. I still love Sendak’s books though. I’m glad you’re feeling better, and I hope there is no damage from the storm.
Thank you so much, Merril. We haven’t been out to check
It’s always good to know how to pivot when the weather affects. Glad to know you are feeling better, but also have a chance to rest, Derrick. 🙂
Thank you so much, Barbara
Glad that you’re feeling better. Today is also not a good day for gardening here in Los Angeles as the edge of a “bomb cyclone,” dumping rain across the American Northwest, moves overhead.
Thanks very much, Rosaliene
It is handy when the weather makes having a rest less tiresome than it would be on a fine day.
Indeed. hanks very much, Tootlepedal
Glad you are feeling more the thing. I thoroughly enjoyed the side trip to Uses of Enchantment. Keep improving, Derrick. With food like that, I predict a brilliant recovery.
Thank you so much, Pat
Good to hear you are recovering from your procedure, Derrick … it was the opposite here for my Market Day, with the temperature hovering on 35’C during the afternoon …
A bit too hot, maybe. Thanks very much, Ivor
Yes, too hot for the market visitors …
I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better, Derrick. I look forward to your review of “The Heart of the Family.” By the way, I read the Agatha Christie short story collection you recommened and enjoyed it very much, particularly the title story. I have to say, I do prefer the 1930s Hercule Poiroit to the 1960s version.
David Suchet really irritates me in the role. hank you very much, Liz
Isn’t that funny! For me, David Suchet IS Poirot.
Oh, he is. Absolutely. That’s why he irritates me 🙂
Ah, ha ha! Nicely played, Derrick!

I’m glad you’re feeling better and enjoyed the memories from reading Where the Wild Things Are to my kids. I did not realize it was written way back in 1963!
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Raging storms sound ominous. I’m glad you’re home from the treatment (and the scheduling snafu) so you can rest and relax indoors. I hope you don’t get flooding.
Thanks very much, Alys
Books by Maurice Sendak were favourites of my children and grandchildren! It is good to be reminded of them 🙂 Rest well in your blizzardy weather – we are going to get close to melting in 31’C as the day marches on 🙂
Thank you very much, Anne
So glad you are feeling better and got to do some resting and reading.
Did the rain/storm play a soft classical piece, a jazzy tune, or a heavy metal song? 🙂 I hope no damage is done.
Mr. Sendak is one of my fave author/illustrators. 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn. A whole lotta thumping going on. Some leaks. XX
Eek on the leaks. (sad face)
I think I have lost my way a bit, on your blog, it seems this is your new blog, but also linked to an older one too, if I am not mistaken… on which I was redirected to read the article with more photos 🙂
The transfer meant a good number of photographs disappeared. It has been a frustrating problem – all because WP stopped me including any more pictures. Thank you very much, Nicole
Oh… and I left a couple of comments on that other blog place, going from the links under some photos in the reminiscing posts. Probably you won’t see them then. 🙂
I am glad you’re feeling better, Derrick and I hope there is not too much damage from the storm. Dinner sounds delicious.
We haven’t been out to check because it hasn’t finished yet. Thanks very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Rest on…….
Thanks very much, Sheree
I’m glad the effects haven’t lasted too long.
Thanks very much, Sue. It is good to have a break from it for a while
Enjoy the gift of rest and I am happy you are feeling better Derrick.
Thank you very much, Diane
Glad to read you’re taking it easy
Thanks a lot, Sheree
I’m glad you’re feeling better!
Thanks very much Riba
I am glad you are feeling better, Derrick.
Thank you so much, Dolly
