muggle not Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 What is your rating on Rita Mae Brown. She and I lived in the same small town a few years ago. My memory's slipping, I think I already told you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 What is your rating on Rita Mae Brown. She and I lived in the same small town a few years ago. My memory's slipping, I think I already told you that. I love the Mrs Murphy, and Sister Jane books. I`m not sure that the later Mrs Murphy ones ( she`s now up to book #25 ) are as good as the earlier ones, but that`s cos she`s had to invent new characters with each later book, so that someone can be bumped off : Otherwise it`d be a ghost town by now. Some of them have had bits of preachiness* in them, but I don`t feel nagged and I do learn things. I`m still buying them though, and still keeping them to read when I need a treat. * Preachiness is the wrong word, but I can`t offhand think of a better one. How`s the weather now ? Still safe ?

Little Pixie Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 I saw a weasel - or stoat ?- today; it sped across the road, looking like a bit like a baby squirrel with a shorter tail, or an elongated hamster. I've never seen one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Wow, I've never seen one of those before! Nice you got to see one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Wow, I've never seen one of those before! Nice you got to see one . It was quite exciting ! It looked exactly like this - click - the one on the right hand side, just above the calendar, running across the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I think I might have seen one once, can't remember where, bit it moved so fast it was difficult to see what it was! Think I've seen a few squished ones too, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nollaig Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Awww I've never seen a weasel or a stoat but they're adoreable animals. I also love otters. Anything with a slinky body, fur and beady eyes, generally, I find very cute XD Quakkas are also adoreable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 You have read more books than you've bought! I'm glad you enjoyed the books you've been reading and I hope you enjoy your new books . How is Xiao-Xiao? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you enjoyed the books you've been reading and I hope you enjoy your new books . How is Xiao-Xiao? Thanks. She`s quite well ; she doesn`t like the cold though - it`s around 7C - she put one paw outside and decided it was far too cold to go out. How are your doggies ? And William the Goat ?

How are your doggies ? And William the Goat ? It is cold! The dogs actually don't mind these colder temperatures so much. They like sitting outside being on guard. I guess they have their fur to protect them. If it drops a few more degrees though they might find it too cold. Boris's fur will keep him warm even at lower temperatures I think, but Pamuk's fur isn't thick enough for that. William is doing fine, thanks . I think he is feeling the cold, he doesn't seem to be walking around quite as much as is staying inside a little bit more. Will get to some reviews when my migraines have eased, but I especially liked ...., I hope you feel better soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve got a couple of new medications I`m trying for migraines, so fingers crossed. Xiao-Xiao hasn`t even been outside today. 2 - 7 C - brrr.

Athena Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I hope the medications help! Wow, that is quite cold! Here it was a little bit warmer, but soon now it will get that cold as well . Boris should be fine, but I don't know about Pamuk. She was okay a few days ago, when it was 12 °C maximum (and about 6 °C minimum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
