Adrian's grandmother is eccentric from "summary" of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3⁄4 by Sue Townsend

Adrian's grandmother is a peculiar woman. She is always doing odd things around the house, like collecting bits of string and buttons, or speaking to her plants as if they were her closest friends. Her behavior often leaves Adrian scratching his head in confusion, wondering what goes on in her mind. Despite her quirks, she is a kind-hearted soul who means well, even if her actions sometimes come across as bizarre. One of the most eccentric things about Adrian's grandmother is her obsession with cleanliness. She is constantly scrubbing and dusting, to the point where the house practically sparkles. Adrian can't help but feel like he's walking on eggshells whenever he visits her, afraid to disturb the pristine order she has created. Her fixation on cleanliness borders on the obsessive, leading Adrian to wonder if there is more to her need for tidiness than meets the eye. In addition to her cleanliness, Adrian's grandmother also has a penchant for unusual hobbies. She spends hours on end knitting elaborate scarves and hats, or tending to her extensive collection of porcelain figurines. Adrian often finds himself bemused by her dedication to these activities, unable to comprehend the satisfaction she derives from them. Despite his confusion, he admires her passion and commitment to her hobbies, even if they seem out of the ordinary. Furthermore, Adrian's grandmother has a unique way of interacting with the world around her. She sees beauty in the mundane, finding joy in simple pleasures like watching the sunrise or feeding the birds in the garden. Her childlike wonder and curiosity about the world never cease to amaze Adrian, who sometimes wishes he could see things through her eyes. In her own way, she teaches Adrian to appreciate the little things in life and find happiness in unexpected places.
  1. Adrian's grandmother's eccentricities make her a fascinating character in Adrian's life. While her behavior may be unconventional at times, it is ultimately what makes her so endearing to him. Despite their differences, Adrian learns to embrace his grandmother's quirks and cherish the unique bond they share. Through her eccentricities, she teaches Adrian valuable lessons about acceptance, individuality, and the beauty of being true to oneself.
