Enchanted by a mockingbird
A bank holiday. Doing some billing, and generally tidying up my desk. The afternoon spent sorting out the narrow strip of a back yard and repotting things.
After this was done, I simply read the last 200 pages of To Kill A Mockingbird. Found myself absolutely loving this book. Some American Gothic touches that reminded me of Ray Bradbury a little. But this is just so well written, and the device of narrating it through the eyes of the little girl Scout, another Bradburyish move, just so incredibly well handled. So impressed. Quite nice to be sitting on the gold sofa reading and listening to music with Lorraine who was doing embroidery. A fine Sunday afternoon, even if it were a Bank Holiday.
