Today's Visits
Oct. 13th, 2016 05:16 pmHad a filling breakfast this morning of two eggs, two sausages , three rashers of bacon and tomato. There slices of toast, multigrain Cheerios and apple juice. I then got my gear together and headed to Bromley for my first visit of the day. It was a covert shop in a jewelers store.
Once done i headed back to do a supermarket visit in Canterbury which i will do today before eight this evening.It is an audit job just checking certain items and their availability as well as condition of fresh fruit and veg.
As it is the 'Spoons fortnight of a beer festival, which started yesterday, i am reduced to having halves at the moment due to lack of funds. Funds will not be a problem around the 25th - but news of that later - and as i do not want to jinx it - confirmation until it is my account will be proscribed. I will just say it will be four figures.
Last night in the common room at the Quays some lads had a film on a dongle that they plugged into the TV and we watched Suicide Squad. A really good anti-superhero movie indeed.

Book 81 - Anne Enright "The Gathering"
Oct. 13th, 2016 10:57 pmAnne Enright "The Gathering" (Vintage)
Genuinely incredible book. In the wake of the her brother's suicide a women remembers a terrible event from their childhood, an event that dislocates her from her life and her large family of brothers and sisters as well as her husband and two daughters. Her own memories and imagined events from her family's past intermingle with the return of her brother's body to Ireland for the funeral and the freefall fallout months later. Enright writes the heart out of this with painful fidelity to truth while wrestling with the difficulty, the impossibility, of truly knowing it, but also her compassion and insight into the frail and flawed humanity of her characters.
This is a searing portrait of family in modern Ireland that hurts and haunts and gets under the skin. I found myself utterly caught up in Veronica's voice and life and perceptions, immersed in her memories and imaginings as she fights to make sense of the fear and pain and strange damage in her life and her brother's which may or may not spring from something awful that happened one summer in her grandmother's house. A book about damage that does its fair share in the mind and heart and psyche of the reader.
