  1. Ah! yes, teddy bears and soft toys as we call them Athena. I love the name plushies though thought it may be something nice to eat! I have packed up my tent and all the things here on my island now, and am waiting for the boat to take me and the dogs back home again. It has been a really enjoyable time here, but all good things must come to an end.

Happy Christmas to you both,don't really know when I will be back on bookclub, depends how well i will be feeling, but not before Jan anyway.

  7. ... attractive lady of 25 with long golden hair, blue eyes and an hour glass figure [Oh, wait a mo, thought Itsme, that's my fantasy intruding into my thoughts again, ooops!] He knocked back his glass of beer, wiped a hand across his mouth [frothy] and stretched his legs out onto the next ...........
  8. this sounds a lot later than Austen......... more like it was written in the 20's or 30's. Not a clue what it is though, in fact, even if I have read this book, not sure I would remember this bit of it.
  9. I will look out for these books, they sound good, thanks. Also thanks VF for this one. I can't think of any new ones, but the Stephen King 11.22.63 novel is excellent, King at his best.
  10. ....... threw up, right onto Dex's nice clean Cliff Richard T-shirt! Poppy yelled 'arrrrrrrgh' and rushed off down the street while Itsme laughed and said............
  11. Ah, South Africa, my mistake. I would love to visit SA one day. The husband went there a few years ago on a rugby tour [teacher, so took team of boys.]he had great fun and ended up in Sun City for a few days having a bit of a gamble.
