I think I will stick to my 2000yr old Greek classical plays

Oh ~V~ thats sad, but what a good use of hair, I would never have thought of using it that way

Welcome to the forum Donna

Using a soap based spray is a good way of getting rid of mites and the 500+ types of aphids. I have grown organically for several years and I have a healthy thriving wildlife population. Bluetits, sparrows, ladybirds are great getting rid of aphids. Failing that, just rub off the pests with your fingers. Companion planting also helps - growing marigolds beside herbs & tomatoes saves the crop I absolutely loathe the damage by slugs and snails . How do other people get rid of theirs? I like to use value beer traps or go out with the salt pot!!

This will be a complete change for me!!! According to Amazon, it's written by Titus Plautus over 2000 yrs ago and is still relevant and funny today. O well always up for a challenge me

Finished The Revolt of the Eaglets. Really enjoyed it - true classic Plaidy Now reading Our Lady of the Forest by David Guterson

Thanks PDR for the link! I am going to get The Pot of Gold and Other Plays. Well that will be different

Hello and welcome Anne

I'm off to Devon on Saturday so I'll probably take:- Jean Plaidy - The Heart of the Lion James McGee - Ratcather James Herbert - The Secret of Crickley Hall Joe Abercrombie - The Blade Itself Sheila O'Flanagan - Yours Faithfully

Roll on Judge John Deed, Waking the Dead and Silent Witness. Some quality TV!!

Most of my favourites are run in Winter:irked:

Kell!! I was in my element today.Went to the library and there on the shelf, brand new and unread 3 out of 4 Plantagenate books by Jean Plaidy . Me happy girl!!!!!!!!!

Started a book by Jean Plaidy - The Revolt of the Eagles

They were fascinating - despite my aversion to war stories, I found myself wanting to know about Julien. I had correctly guessed the inevitable outcome. It was a well written novel - just wish I was less tired to appreciate it more/ H&D wrote I've only just started it (50 pages in) but that does seem the basic plotline. At least I won't have to think about it!!!

I love P.D. James as well. She is certainly one of our more talented female crime writers. Death in Holy Orders was brilliant. The Lighthouse was also enjoyable Martin Shaw is absolutely delectable as Adam Dalgleish and makes the drama even more enjoyable to watch

Finished The Dream of Scipio - found it a bit hard going in places probably 'cos I'm so tired at the moment! Now for a much lighter, no thinking read, The Lilac Bus by Maeve Binchy

hello and welcome

Finally finished The Memory Palace. Not too bad, prefer the Firemaster's Mistress! Reading The Dream of Scipio by Iain Pears

I said that to my DH as well. Hammond put in a terrific job and had the harder end of the bargain. It was thoroughly entertaining

Although I'm enjoying The Memory Palace, haven't done much reading as I've been exhausted. Moving a ward upstairs and setting up a new one is exhausting work!

Hello Ratna and welcome

Welcome aboard Steve

Innocent Traitor is a fantastic book - I couldn't put it down. You will not be disappointed!

How about Harry Potter finally getting thrown off the Hogwarts Express with Ron Weasley for being drunk on lager and making suggestive comments to the girls!

:lol: That's great!! I also have never read a book (or intend to!!) 1 & 4 get my vote
