Don’t usually acquire books and olive oil from the same source but today’s Saturday market is a happy exception. Karen, who runs the book stall in support of animal rescue, also harvests olives and sometimes has olive oil for sale.
So today we collect, as arranged, a litre and a half bottle of olive oil. And, as we’re at the stall, acquire two previously unread Ian Rankin novels and three Robert Harris books. Would have stopped at four books, but Karen points out that there’s a discount when you buy five so go with it. Besides spring is here so more time out on the terrace, which means higher proportion of “real” books. And it’s in a good cause.
