I will have brunch soon (garden salad and sliced up chunks of cantaloupe), then take a shower and primp a bit, then go pick up the book that was delivered to the closest library. By the time I practice using my new walking poles, to and from my home and the library, which takes a lot of time, lol (or not), I'll be ready to sit in my living room lounge chair, out on the patio, and bask in the sunshine, while I read my new book (An Man Called Ove).

Eta: Tom Hanks is working on producing an American adaptation of this book, and will star in it too (as of last fall, which might be due in theaters later this year?). The original Swedish International Best Selling Book and Film debuted in the summer of 2016.

I'm SO glad to hear there is going to be another movie made. The first one missed the mark on all the sweetness the book holds. And of all the things Ove accomplished enriching the life of countless others!
