Thanks all. Who could forget fish & chips?

I definitely won't be picking up my copy of The Last Chronicle of Barset. Just before Christmas my dog had a bad stomach and **** all over it and the rest of the room. It went in the bin half read. I must buy another as I was only half way through it and was enjoying it a great deal.

Hello all, I was going to post on my thread but it's locked for some reason. Anyway, I know it's been a long time. Quite a few reasons for that, but not the least of which is that I had a heart attack in June. That was a bit of a shaker I can tell you. Turned out, it was actually the second one I'd had. The doctor said it was smoking what done it. Only after I told him I smoked though. But the last 7 months have been spent getting myself fit or "heart healthy". Walking, cycling, gym every day and so on. I've just seen the birthday wishes for August. Odd to see them in a way, as of course statistically I was only 40% likely to be alive. But it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm fitter and happier. Things took a turn for the worst though just before Christmas when my dad fell ill and very sadly died two weeks ago. So I've been though the mill a bit. By the way, I was going to tell you that I'm listening to an unabridged Last Night in Twisted River and reading the new William Boyd novel. Because of all the activity I now do, my volume of reading has dropped a little, but I listen more now at the gym.
