I am so glad that I tidied up my little patch last weekend, because, as the weather was so nice this evening I was actually able to sit out there for a while and read. I was wearing a fleece and woolly socks, but it was very pleasant.....for a while.
A very short while....I went out armed with my mug of coffee, eager to get started and delve into somebody else's world for a while. But, I didn't get to read as much as I would have liked, because just my luck, there was a soccer match on in the local stadium tonight, and even though I can't hear any noise from the crowd, the match finished at the same time that I went outside and then the crowd started to leave. And, as after all matches, the police take over traffic control in the area and to my annoyance, especially this evening, they always seem to plant the helicopter right over my house. Disturbing the peace over my little world.
It's impossible to ignore it or to block it out, so it distracted me from my Heroine of the day, Jane Eyre. I wonder what she would have made of the metal bird in the sky? That would be an interesting book to read, without the sound effects of course!
Anyway back to my book, I know I read it years ago, but I try as I might, I can't remember the plot. I have this sudden interest in it again because a trailer for a new film based on the book, that I saw recently, prompted me to pick it up again and find out what the big secret is that her 'master' is hiding. I wonder how long it will take me to remember? So, I am going to read this book as quickly as I can, solve the puzzle, go and see the film, and then complain loudly to anybody that will listen, that it's not as good as the book!!
I had to stop reading and come in anyway, as it got dark. But that didn't stop the helicopter!
I wonder who I could complain to about that...
