Our decorator is happily taking his lunch break helping dh finish off ribs. Watermelon salad was eyed a bit dubiously....you can lead a horse to water....

I just told dh about the ribs on here and dh wishes me to make clear that in reference to the builder there is no question of euphemism or double entendre.

Just had a lovely meal. Couldn't finish it so took the rest home. DD's back and we're all about to watch "the Hobbit".
My birthday present is spotify-related plus a staclk of great books.
One happy camper!

Somebody on facebook has reminded me I share a birthday with Johnny Depp.

I am just watching Sunday politics. I need earplugs! Heavens, the've just stopped the programme. Alex James was going mad on live TV while Andrew Neil gesticulated that he was bonkers.

That was all a bit weird. I was expecting talk of the Rothchilds and shape shifting lizards. Now sane programming has resumed.

I had no idea what you were talking about. And I thought that you meant Alex James as in bass played in Blur/ cheese maker!

Anyone care to recommend a book?

I need something not to taxing to read. No crime and thrillers. Nothing political. No historical thing (either settilng or writing....love the classics, don't fancy one atm) Nothing remotely to do with uniform wearing people of any disceiption. Nothing set on a boat. Minimal angst. Scifi or fantasy might be good escapism....(no medical horrors please!). Comedy might be ok. Long...or two books. . Available on kindle.

Fussy huh? I just need to be all consumed by something easy if I can stop coughing. I also cannot find my diazepam especially procured for this . Poop. They'll jab me with some godamnawful muscle relaxant while getting cross with me for not relaxing probably

I just finished 'Noble House' which I really enjoyed.

Blimey that's hard. How about some chick lit? Or a really good children's book?

A really good children's book or five would be a great idea.

Chicklit.....maybe?

Err...anything with mills and boon on the cover?

You might like the time waster letters if you have a puerile sense of humour but I don't think it would work well on kindle as they often don't put the pictures in which are the funniest part.

Have you read tomorrow when the war began? It is aimed at "young adults" I think but written well before all that terrible twilight nonsense began and infested the genre with awfulness. I quite liked it but don't know if you can get it on kindle though.

Really good children's book....

Anything by Eva Ibbotson. It's probably worth checking out the Carnegie medal nominees for this and previous years. Wonder, by R J Palacio, gets amazing feedback from the people I know who have read it. But I'm not sure it is a particularly light kids book.
