Antirrhinum

This afternoon I had my Covid booster and flu vaccinations. I'm hoping I will be feeling OK to drive to my Mother 's tomorrow. I have got things ready to take with me while I'm still well!
This morning I finished reading the  last few pages of Rohinton Mistry's novel "A Fine Balance", which I have been reading over the past couple of months. I have found it a difficult read because much of the story is so harrowing. I had to stop reading it last thing  at night in order to sleep soundly, and  limit how many pages I read in one session. However, I am glad I persisted with the book as it is so well written and a fascinating, if gruesome, insight into some aspects of  Indian life in the 1970's.     
I popped out when it stopped raining to  snap a snapdragon. They are such bizarrely shaped flowers, I think, which  is probably  why children love them. I'm always happy to see them appear in my garden, as they  remind me of my childhood garden.
