  2. Hi there, have been working away and have'nt had chance to log on. How are you? hoping to get on more now i'm back home. x

  3. I've been listening to The White Tiger on audio.
  4. Hey kate. Just wanted to say 'Hope you've had a wonderfull day full of happy memories. Congratulations.

    p.s Have you recieved my letter?

  5. I think thats a really good point Frankie. I think sometimes maybe i can be so enthusiatic about the things i love i proberbly sound like i'm trying to convert everyone all the time! However i get the impression that a lot less people are reading nowadays because they feel other things entertain them quicker, without them having to put any effort in. Basically people are just getting lazy. I also know some people who don't read and they admit they haven't really tried. It just sounds like hard work to them. Reading does have many benefits. They include: improving peoples concentration, encouraging creativeness and imagination, spelling and writing skills, and many more. For my part, i would definatly expect my children to read. I don't expect them to be avid readers, just to be a reader. I also hate the idea of being in a world full of people with no imagination or a lack of patience with anything other than a computer game, tv, etc. Imagination is what drives people to create, and without creation there would be no expression, and without expression the world would be a very dull and insular place to live.

    Greetings!

    Hello Larry. Look forward to reading your posts.
  7. My neighbours brought us over a plate of food. It was two rice dishes. So we had a little of each for our tea. It's really nice actually, they often bring us a little bit of something they've cooked up.
  8. Thats awful Scarlette! I'm bugged by that for you!
  9. When you go on a walk with some friends or when you go clothes/window shopping with someone and they rush you, darting about from one place to another!. I mean the idea of a walk or shopping is not a chore, it's meant to be a lesirely thing. I just plain refused to be rushed. If they want to rush then they can do what they need to do and just go home early to rush through the next thing. Me? I'm determined to enjoy the time i have whereever i am. Especially when shopping!
  10. That is exactly how i feel! I think i will try reading an old fav then.
  11. I feel as if i want to read at the moment but i just can't get into anything. I spent 20mins today at the liabary just looking for an audio book just to try and keep me motivated, but nothing appealed to me. I know i want to read the books on my TBR list, but i just cannot stick to reading more than a chapter! It's driving me mad. I'm thinking maybe if i forget my TBR list for now and read an old fav. Something light anf fun like a Roald Dahl book!?
