Wie geht's?
Last week of the holidays and the frenzied painting is dwindling at Maple Grove as a consequence. I have two more sash windows to sand and varnish before I'm done and dusted - should be doable - it takes 2 days for each window - because each coat needs 24 hours drying time.
Aside from that I'm enjoying another one of Anne Tyler's novels - Digging To America (pictured above). It has an interesting premise - two different but loosely connected Iranian families in Baltimore (where she sets her stories) adopt South Korean babies. Fun ensues!
Tyler's writing style is easy as. Here's an excerpt that sums it up nicely (Maryam is one of the grandmothers in this drama):
Maryam excused herself and went off to check on dinner. She lowered one flame, raised another, and then allowed herself a little spell of gazing out the kitchen window before the sound of the doorbell pulled her away.
I should get it finished before school starts up next week.
Love and peace - Wozza
