a speck of joy

on the way back from the supermarket early this afternoon......

while in there, earplugs: vital to keep out the squeals.....

then afterwards, outside, taking them out, and walking, slowly, walking, plus wicker wheelie shopper behind me, plus stick.....feeling the wind blow through me, looking up and seeing the leaves and hearing the shusshing as the wind moved through them......

remembered how much I have always loved that sound, and offered up my speck of joy - for that's the thought image which came to mind at that moment - to the universe, to pass on as s/he/it sees fit.......

I just had speck of joy....walking hounds with that lovely rich smell of earth and fallen leaves.

Ta for leaving a comment on my blog....and yes I have read all of Sarah Water's books...as I am a big fan. By co-incidence, she was at a wedding I went to as she is the girlfriend of the sister of one of the brides at that wedding....I was close to going up and saying I LOVE your books, but aware my friend just sees her as her sister's girlfriend and it could be embarassing.
I usually wait til they are out in paperback, so am waiting for The Little Stranger to come out in pb soon.
You can see more about books on the Good Reads.com site, and it helps list books and queue them up so when you go to buy, you haven't forgotten.

People would like to buy me books, but I have read about 400 current titles in the past couple of years so they worry about getting me something I have read.
