  1. Maybe better lighting? If your glasses don't help then you have the wrong prescription, you need to go back to the optician to check your reading prescription.
  2. Muggy most of the day, started raining around 5.00 and rained for most of the rest of the day, drizzly this morning.
  3. I've resolved to trey to do more walks with my walking group - have only done two this year shamefully. We did one today in the local forest, just over 7 miles in about 3 hours, with a comfort/tea stop too. Weather was quite pleasant, just warm enough to take jackets off after a while, and not too muddy (one of the bonuses of not having had much rain!). Aching a bit now !
  4. Still haven't got round to it yet, but definitely a wintry read.
  5. Yes that's right Will, I'd forgotten about the grading! What a lovely idea.
  6. yes delivery can take weeks here too. I hate smell of smoke, it's awful.
  7. Yes it was on a par with series 6, shame it was so short though.
  8. No I can't believe it either, where did September come from??? Not much planned for tomorrow, but hoping to do a forest walk with my walking group on Sunday; I've resolved to do more walks (only done 2 this year, shamefully) so fingers crossed the weather lasts a bit longer.
  9. Much cooler here! Sunny but a definite chill in the air.
  10. I still have some of the old Paddington paperbacks, which were published by Armada, with a lovely red spine with a lion on. They were lovely stories.
  11. I've almost finished the Muse by Jessie Burton, about another 45 pages to go.
  12. Rained pretty much all day yesterday, but sunny today, definitely a chill in the air though.
  13. I wonder if we'll have a battle of the dragons ie the ice dragon against one of the others, as fire seems to be the only thing which could kill it. Is Cersei really pregnant though? She's lied to everyone about pretty much everything, so perhaps she's lying about that too? yep being aunt and nephew probably wouldn't bother them too much! Not sure how she'd feel about him having a full, genuine claim to the Throne though.
  14. Yes I think it's the characters that really make this show, loads of love to hate people and some I started off hating and now like (Jaime for one). It's nice how some characters come into their own after a while, such as Ser Davos, who's blossomed since Stannis got killed off, as well as Sam, Pod etc, who are given time to develop and grow. I do find Sansa annoying though, and a bit whiny! Tyrion is still the best character by a mile though.
  15. Now that Got has finished I can start on Outlander (only seen the first one so far), or Midnight, Texas or finish Sleepy Hollow (3 left),decisions, decisions!
  16. Same here, much cooler and drizzly.
  17. Yep I wasn't sure which book had the Steam Gun in it, so you're probably right, part of the same series though. I think I got them the wrong way round too, it's a long time since I read them.
  18. Labradoodles are lovely, great big teddy bears!
  19. Yes the look on Littlefinger's face was priceless - I was wondering where that scene was going and they put a clever twist on it. I've never really taken much to Bran either, he's a bit wooden and all those visions got a bit tedious after a while (they did in the book as well). Sam is nice though, a truly decent character who will hopefully be rewarded somehow. Can't wait to see the look on Dany's face when she finds out Jon's true parentage. I kinda like the Hound in an odd way, he's quite a softie underneath all that bravado! And I like the grudging respect he had for Brienne. Wonder what will happen to Jaime, I assume he'll go to Tyrion and co? I loved the dragon scene in episode 6, when they all piled on to it's back with Dany, would love to see the green screen of that. And the zombie/ice dragon was a great touch, terrific twist. and they finally filmed the zombie bear - I've been waiting for that for years!
  20. Very muggy and dull, but the weekend was a real treat. Can't complain as it happens so rarely!
  21. What did people think of the finale? Interesting, but I think the previous episode was better, and would have made a good final episode of the series in it's own right.
