    Did you manage to get the Harriet Tyce book from the library. If not I’m happy to post my copy to you, I’ve  got your address. Was very good, better than Blood Orange I thought. 




    I got it, thanks  :)
    Just finished it.
    Enjoyed it too.

    I'm now into Line of Duty :) but I tape it to watch it later, I'm often a bit tired by now :blush:  Never watched it before this last six months, I'm enjoying it :) 
    I might have to rewatch part of this weeks!

    I had to rewatch last weeks.  Mainly because I wasn't watching properly (IPad fiddling). It is definitely a programme you need to concentrate on or you miss crucial bits.

    Yep, I don't fiddle about with stuff any more when I'm watching tv - I try to make sure I only watch programmes I *want* to watch, and doing something else stops me seeing maybe 40% ... not worth it, whether its tense like Line of Duty or fun like Bake Off.

    Glad to hear the documents are back. A word of caution on the gin, it’s very strong so you’ll need to watch the measures. On the plus side it should last you a while 😆 Boo to the state of the car, not good enough.

    Glad you got the documents back.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
