OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

Monday morning: Cats, coffee and Bosch. I am reading the series out of order and loving it.

Then a long day of work that ended with the delivery of an early Bosch novel I have been waiting for and a braai for my love.

I was able to open my side door today, a sure sign of Spring. And walking to my local printer to pick up a manuscript, I saw everything in blooming sunshine and it made me smile. I love these in-between seasons – Spring and Autumn, the latter being my favourite – and today was a brilliant example how lovely they can be.

I promised myself only one sentence about the Uber-psychopath-in-chief: If you have the right to vote in the US, please, please VOTE. Four more years of this madness is unimaginable.

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
