Don't for a minute think I'll complain if you accidentally put one of your reviews in my list, Poppyshake. Would lift the whole standard Jumping the Queue by Mary Wesley. I picked this up at a library sale, it's one I've read before, but so long ago, I'd forgotten the story. This was Mary Wesley's first novel and it's got her rather wicked sense of humour throughout. I love Mary's characters, they are unconventional and rather eccentric. This one is about a middle-aged woman whose husband has died and she decides she is going to have a final picnic and then swim off into the sunset. She gets thwarted in her attempt, by a man who is on the run from the police for killing his mother.

See if this one works Muiggles. The same thing happens to me on some overseas videos. This was off our NZ's Got Talent from last night. I think she's amazing.

Sounds good Muggles. Let us know what you think of it.

Mwaaahahaha I could really mess with you here But you're right, I have changed it. I kept thinking 'Poppy's Paperbacks' was my thread (I'm easily confused) and thought maybe other people might get mixed up too. You write such wonderful reviews Poppyshake, I don't want them to be terribly disappointed when they read mine and think you're slipping.

Are you going to see them sod? (they're coming here too) Hello Hurricane ~ Switchfoot

Someone Like You ~ Adele

I read several reviews where they described Black Pat as 'charismatic', 'seductive' and having 'endearing qualities'. The only thing I wanted to do with him was push him off a very high cliff with a bulldozer (I'd need the bulldozer to move him, I reckon). I understand that depression is something that you can become resigned to but there is nothing seductive or endearing about it. Black Pat's dark humour was very funny though.

Dog Days Are Over ~ Florence and the Machine

Brothers In Arms ~ Dire Straits

Spinning Wheel ~Blood, Sweat and Tears

Mr Chartwell by Rebecca Hunt. A story based on Winston Churchill's depression which he referred to as his 'Black Dog' and who takes on the form of a real live, talking dog. A most unusual book, based on a premise that should make it unbelievable, but which works very well. At times very funny, but with an undercurrent of unease running throughout. I disliked 'Black Pat' intensely, I didn't find him the least bit charming as some suggest, but loved the other characters, they were remarkably well drawn. A very good read.

I love the Electric Light Orchestra cover of Roll Over Beethoven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZyYyS8asnc&feature=fvwrel

Oh Muggles, you are incorrigible

What's The Matter With You ~ Split Enz

Clive Dunn, best known for playing Lance-Corporal Jones in Dad's Army, has died at age 92. One of comedy's most loved characters. We'll miss you Jonesy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuple20I2vs (it doesn't seem to allow embedding so click link) http://youtu.be/tuple20I2vs
