I've never actually tried an audio book, I did (ahem) borrow a few pdf books for my ipad but it felt like cheating on paper - couldn't quite get on with them.

RRB - can we make that shop in a little Derbyshire village next door to a traditional bakers with a pub with ale and a log fire opposite?

I have never been to Derbyshire, it sounds so lovely and welcoming, it's the shire part I think, I live in a shire county as well. Sorry but the shop can't be next door to a bakers, as it would drive me crazy, I have Coeliac disease. I do like the sound of the pub, only because of the log fire, I don't drink, sorry.

RRB :)

Netty and shzz, (((((HUGS)))))))) to you both xx

I have just come in from my back garden, as I heard a noise. On the patio area a lovely Hedgehog, I always put food and water out and tonight it's the first timeI have seen one in months. I had to go and have a closer look with my finger torch/light and I was stroking it's nose very gently and it was enjoying it until, Pebbles our cat, jumped down off of the fence and startled it, but I can still hear rustling out there and so I have left the back door open :D

I tried to read dr Bernstein book but gave up....technically that's a lie I have read the 4 page kiddy books to the kids when they were babies, my brain won't let me remember what's I read at the top of the page by the time I get to the bottom, so by the end of the page I have no clue what's going on, weird huh..... I left school at 13 and no one cared.... I wonder why lol

If we were all the same with the same tastes in art and literature then the world would be a boring place. What one person finds interesting to read another thinks its a huge pile of rubbish. For instance I was given a book when I was a teenager by my older brother (a minor miracle in itself) that he detested (aha we get to the reason why he gave it away :P). I read the first page and was hooked, its probably one of the worst novels written but I liked it. I still have my battered copy with pages falling out and every so often, when I seam to have lost the will to read, I reread that book and it kick starts me off again.

Oh the book? Fly Fishing by JR Hartley..... :lol:

Seriously, its an American Book 'Lonesome Traveler' by Weldon Hill published in 1972. I have tried to dislike the story but I just keep getting drawn back to it... Difficult to explain really.

Oh an August is my favorite month because its the most peaceful for me. Happy birthday to all those August births :)

Is it not pouring with rain where you are? Both water butts are now full after weeks of being empty. Veggie meal for later will be odds and ends from the garden with marinaded and fried tofu. Followed by something very naughty!

Happy birthday Morganator!
 
Yesterday was spent clearing the gutters, down-pipes and drains from all the moss that is dislodged by the birds, followed by weeding and tidying the garden.

Today doing absolutely nothing, had a nice long walk with the dog earlier and have since sat around catching up with some music on Youtube, had my son's Dr Dre Beats on which have an amazing sound quality, soon to eat Sunday Roast so life's not too bad :thumbup:
