When I started this book blog, I was thinking of people who have already ready Sell the Pig, so they could leave their feedback and suggestions for a sequel. Then I realised that wasn't very fair on those who haven't read it. So I'll include a few excerpts on here to explain what the photos I post are all about.
Again, as Mother is so central to the book and is the reason behind its title, I thought you'd like to see some more photos of her.
"Then
there's mother, now aged 89 and going through some glorious second
childhood where she likes to say 'bum' and 'bugger' as often
as possible." ......
'The
fixation with bums is harder to explain. The other day when I
visited the nursing home who are, allegedly, looking after her, I was
most surprised to find her apparently absorbed in a rugby match on
television, as she has never shown any interest at all in sports,
particularly neither team games nor contact sports.
“Rugby,
mother? You?” I asked.
“Yes,”
she replied, without peeling her gaze away from the heaving flesh of
the Australian pack as they went into a scrum. “Look at all those
big fat bums".'
Looks like you and Maman have a very naughty joke hanging between you ;) Perhaps you're both watching the rugger buggers :)
