When I was working it did sometimes slow down ... but the kids grew up with me "in" a book .. I can knit and read .. and wash up and read .. should I go on? lol xx

Isn't it interesting how some books grab you and you can read them many times!!Music is a nostalgia wallow for me too - Split Enz brings back lots of memories of friends and outings in NZ.

Your George Martin copies look rather similar to my Robin Hobb books - I prefer her fantasy writing style, epic stories but without as much blood guts and dodgy nudity. But I am looking forward to Mr Martin getting his chuff into gear to get the next book written!
After many many years of memorizing words that went with pictures and even the eye chart, it was a shock to find out that grey stuff was actually writing! I am still catching up ... the world's slowest reader but love those books.(now that getting them in English is hard to do).
You made me cry. Your gorgeous girl misses you and all you family. We have missed them both and are eager to get home to them. We are currently at Heathrow on our way. I have just bought a new SD card to video the BIG SHAVE. Will share with you soon.
I am an avid reader too, always have been. Nothing wrong with missing Sally from time to time.
I love reading too! Although I haven't read much as far as books go since my baby was born. My problem is that I am addictive and once I start I just can't stop. I would never sleep and poor baby would bear the brunt. So...waiting for a long car ride I guess!
