Dutch tales

Finished my read

After morning coffee I went out. My gas container for cooking was empty. Yesterday I managed to heat my dinner. After dinner I wanted to make a cup of tea, but by then the container was empty. Perfect timing. I can do without tea. Dinner was done. And now I didn't have to wonder any more how long it would last.....

So today I went to an outdoor shop to change the empty one for a full one. That outdoor shop was already on my list to visit for new walking shoes so I managed that at the same time. 

I was back early in the afternoon and spent the rest of the day outside near my tent. Finally a warm day! 

I finished my read. Somehow I wasn't captivated. Apparently some facts were true about Dolly who wanted more out of life than women usually got between 1890 and 1960. Situated in Australia. She had a life with lots of changes from managing a pub, hotel or boardhouse only to end up back at a farm...

She was not a nice person, not to her husband, not to her children. So I couldn't really warm up to her. I thought her a selfish woman who tried desperately to have a meaningful life at the cost of those close to her.
