I was going for a bookish song title today and I came across the Frank Zappa number and I know I haven’t done a Zappa title before!!!! You hope libraries will open soon there are such a valuable resource. We had a good virtual Book Club last night although we all said we miss doing it in the flesh. We universally enjoyed Cannery Row for it’s humour and humanity. There was much praise for Steinbeck’s writing and several people wanted to read out phrases.

Lovely walk this morning from Wotton Under Edge to the Tyndale Monument at North Nibley. I took the picture of the Whitethroat below on our walk.

Still working on tidying up my story at the moment the title is Pig the Legend but that may change. Still wondering about the next step.
