Wordsworth, obviously a fortuitous surname for Dorothy as well as her more famous brother. 🌼
My sister is probably going to stop her metastatic breast cancer treatments. She has a little less than a month to change her mind (I don't think she will) and, at that point, they'll either start another trial drug (if she does change her mind) or start hospice. I'm struggling to have the focus to read or even watch TV. I've been trying to catch up on this #kindredspiritsbuddyread and Maud really does feel like a kindred spirit sometimes. 🩵🩷💚
Two languages in two different directions, and different parts of the date indicated in Arabic vs the Christian calendar, plus squeezing in another angle of text to make the most use of the space. This Sultan is more organized and proficient in handwriting than I will ever be.
The hubby and I hit a few stops on the Leaskdale Loop today. It‘s a self-guided driving tour held on the second Saturday of each month from spring to fall in our area. Two of the stops were the LMM church and manse. We‘ll have to return as we didn‘t have enough time to visit her house. But the exhibit in the church was really interesting! And there was the beautiful garden with this LMM statue. Reminded me of the similar one in PEI. 😍
#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead I‘ve enjoyed being back in the #LMMJournals this week. Legal woes, Ewan‘s mental health, and grief over Aunt Annie—but this section was also full of cats, gardening, and reading. (I still don‘t think I‘m interested in reading Bulwer-Lytton‘s Zanoni, but every time LMM mentions it I kind of want to! She‘s wearing me down!)
What stood out to you in your journal-reading this week? (Other than the above author deaths 😂)
Okay, I know 'breaking the fourth wall' is a thing and it has to do with camera angles and set design and meta in film, but can we pleeaaase figure out a similar expression that uses 'blow the roof off', (aside from its more literal 'expose or disrupt everything in a dramatic fashion') it would be so much fun! ☺️
