I always get etymology confused with the insect one as well,can't remember what the insect "ology" is though.

I got curious about omnibus, so I looked it up and the plural part actually means that it can carry a large number of people, likewise an omnibus book edition contains several volumes eg all 3 books in the Lord of the Rings trilogy (I have one of these and it's huge).

Welcome to the Pleasure Dome - Frankie goes to Hollywood

I know him so well - Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson

I really must start reading Chris Hammer's books, I enjoyed the TV version of Scrublands but still haven't read it!

Yes it felt like that yesterday but didn't happen. It's quite sunny now but very windy.

I agree, muggy and humid is awful, it's not too bad but not very nice weather.

Dull and muggy here. Very muggy at night too.

"The Secret Beach" by Veronica Henry- this is the author's latest summer offering,and is set in the picturesque Cornish resort of Speedwell, where Nikki has lived all her life, and now works as a wedding planner. She's finally able to buy the house of her dreams, a cottage which she sets about renovating with the help of her family building firm, and also has a nice new neighbour,so everything is looking good, until a series of menacing postcards start being sent to her, referring to something which happened many years ago, and which she hoped would never come to light. She's also preparing to help commemorate the 20th anniversary of a terrible sea disaster, where many members of the lifeboat crew, including her father and brother-in-law, plus several of the people they were trying to rescue, all perished during a terrible storm. In the meantime she's trying to organise another wedding, as well as dealing with her mercurial sister Jess, and her niece, aspiring singer Juno. So quite a cast of characters, along with various other townsfolk and visitors to the resort. This was an enjoyable read ,with believable characters and a vivid setting,although I found the big reveal slightly disappointing. but it's a nice easy holiday read, quite well-written and with a real sense of place and community. 7.5/10
