Just counting down the hours tae the bells at midnight

Goodness..you are organised !....May 2014 bring you many hours of reading enjoyment

'Christmas in Seattle' by Debbie Macomber I usually like her books but I have to say this one was a bit slow and found it a bit tedious. It had Christmas in the title so I thought I would read it, but to be honest they weren't that Christmassy. There were two reads in this book, Christmas Letters and The Perfect Christmas. 2/5

Books received for Christmas 'The Time Keeper' by Mitch Albom 'The Good Father' by Diane Chamberlain 'Instructions for a Heatwave' by Maggie O'Farrell 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan' by Lisa See

I have to say I am on a go slow with my book reading...not enjoying what I am reading at the moment sigh....wished I was reading a good Christmas one...have a Debbie Macomber on the go Christmas in Seattle, but not very good.

Oh Chrissy...sorry you have been feeling crook.....and I love you skateboard story....photo of him using it...

Good wins up here this weekend. Bit chilly and very windy but the U'16's managed a good 3pt 4-2 win and Glendale, without Andy as he went to 16's game, won 2-1.....hoorah, happy all round..

Just been to see Catch Fire with hubby, we have both read the books and we thought it stuck pretty much to the book.

One of kind

All games off today here, nothing to report

We are due snow this weekend apparently!
