breakfast and books


late breakfast this morning after the green market . . 

i finished reading call of the cats by andrew bloomfield today. chanda and i saw this book in 2017 at a bookstore in carmel, california. she had asked me to take a photo of it and a few others as she was interested in reading it . . i guess i finally got around to getting it! (actually, i picked one up for her from strand books and this one was from the library.) the author weaves a tale of caring for feral cats outside his bungalow in southern california along with his experiences traveling in nepal and india and trying to break into the screenwriting world of hollywood. i really enjoyed reading it.

  1. Interesting book and it is nice that you keep setting the table invitingly, even for just the two of you. I remember my grandmother saying that she started to eat in front of the TV at one point and then stopped doing it because she realized how bad this was for her soul. She went back to her dining-room table and set it nicely for each meal, although she was all on her own.

    2. Yes. She said she also felt more like a cultivated human being.
