I've opened Persuasion - not that you asked me to, oh no - just thought I'd... er... let you know!

Nice to see you back. I have a few books that fit the 'decade' criteria already - an Orwell (from the 30s, iirc) and a Faulks from the 90s.

I'm good thanks. I've had the house to myself all afternoon so I finished my book and then did some of my ironing whilst watching Bridget Jones 2.

Are you okay?

Thanks - me too.

Glad you like it here. Warning - it can be addictive!

Better late than never - happy birthday!

Thanks. It's from 'King Bladud's Pigs' - they're all over Bath and are very pretty - they're going to be auctioned off for charity.

The one in my avatar is 'Bath Rugby Pig'!

I didn't look at 'general chat' last night, so I just wanted to say I'm very sorry to hear about your uncle.

You haven't been around for a while so I hope you're okay. Happy birthday - have a great day.

I just wanted to send you an extra special hug and tell you I'm thinking of you. x

Sounds good to me. I didn't mean it to sound like I was nagging - I just wasn't sure if you'd taken up the challenge of making a list.

Hiya! Just wondered if you are doing a list for that through the decades challenge? I don't have any challenges on the go at the moment so I'm keen to give this one a go

Just made it in time! Happy birthday. Hope you had a lovely day.

Hi Nici. Been thinking of you. x

Love the photos. Your plum coloured lounge is gorgeous - very restful.

Happy birthday - hope you're having a great day.

? Do you mean in the September nominations? I just added the synopsis from the back cover so that people know what it's about.

Hope you're okay and come back soon.

Hello - haven't seen you around for a while - I hope you're okay.

Great holiday pics. I love the partridge - very cute!

LOL - that doesn't bear thinking about!

I loved Chocolat - and hated the film version. Grr! I will move Coastliners towards the top of my to read pile!

A belated welcome to the forum. I love your rabbit avatar.

Hello.

I'm having a good day, thanks. It's been dry (thankfully) and the children and I went to visit friends in Bristol who we only see in the school holidays, and then Abigail spent her birthday vouchers (she was 11 a few weeks ago) in New Look on the way home.

They've been so very good so far. Despite Luke being nearly 14, he's still happy to let her hang around with him when he's not off with his mates. I hope they manage to remain friends!

How're things with you?

Well remembered! Gosh - that was quite a while ago now. It's nice to have you back.

Yup two - a boy who is 13 and a girl of 11. They're good kids - fingers crossed that lasts through their teenage years!

Hi. I'm having a very lazy day today (have been avoiding my ironing and working on my family tree instead) and the children are being very good, despite the bad weather meaning they're stuck inside!

How are you?
