Lughnasa Honey Moon
A quiet birthday as phone calls come in wishing the birthday girl well. We had a long nap and have spent time reading after it. Kate’s reading Orange Is The New Black, the prison memoir turned into a Netflix series which we watched a couple of weeks ago. I’m reading Ninety Percent of Everything, a narrative about the merchant shipping industry. After seven weeks of visiting ports throughout Latin America, I developed a strong curiosity about containers and container shipping.
This reading is a bit unusual since neither of us read a lot of non-fiction, leaning more toward mystery, thriller, fantasy and the classics. I find I buy non-fiction and often leave it unread, or read it much later.
Later on tonight we plan to have a bonfire, a celebratory one, with sparklers and smores for Kate.
Happy Birthday, Kate. May you enjoy this one fully and have many more. Also, many more together with Charlie.
Love and blessings,
Bill
