I absolutely loved this book. I tried to write a review on amazon but apparently I'm not qualified to do so. A murder, Italy, mystery, the supernatural, struggle for survival, everything I want in a story. And, eerily, some elements that mirror my own experiences. By @lisascottoline.bsky.social

I thought I knew how to pick an avocado, until a nice Mexican lady I came across at the vegetable section of the supermarket gave me another tip: Choose the shiny ones. She was right.

And learned to put chunks of avocado in my seafood stew.The good old days. 💞 [Alt text: Photo of a woman &her dog waiting to cross the road in San Juan, Puerto Rico]

Scotland has passed a law that all new buildings must install ‘swift bricks’ which are hollowed out bricks to help nesting swifts and other endangered birds! Swifts are especially endangered because so many chimneys now have chimney caps. Swifts return to the same nesting spot year after year.

History lesson. They are shredding the Constitution, which reminds me of Belgium and its WW2 neutrality. When the Nazis invaded Belgium in 1940, they said of Belgium's neutrality: "It's just a piece of paper." [We know how it ended.]

Catherine O'Hara RIP gentle soul. 🪷 When I shadowed DaveThomas during filming, for a profile for enRoute magazine, I met her over coffee & muffins at Casa Loma where she was filming. She was sweet, low key & surprisingly, shy. More recently I watched her on Schitt's Creek. Heartbreaking.
