Every Rose Has its Thorn

I seem to be on a trend to miss Saturdays, especially when they are sunny and I have a race.  I hope you too were enjoying the sunshine and spring weather.  [I also hope that you, unlike me, remembered to wear gloves when staking up the roses.]  

Two articles from The Guardian captured my interest today:

* This interview with Marian Keyes where she candidly faces questions about her writing, depression, and her wit

* This fascination with Zelda Fitzgerald and the books due to be published this year

Both have dark undertones with a bit of bling.  But then, that's life (and a rose bush).
