Yeah but you're scottish, so you're going to support him more than I am. I'm more interested in watching a good game, and it seems to be going that way so far, Roddick 5-2 up in the third set, sets tied at 1-1. Looks like Roddick is going to take a 2-1 set advantage, looking worrying for Murray. Common lad. ETA: Don't look now, Murray's squared it 5-5 in the third set. 1-1 sets, 5-5 games, Roddick serving. What a match this is!

Haha, glad you've pushed it up! Remember that everyone's tastes are diverse so if you don't like it, it's not my fault.

Very nice of you Kell! It's lovely.

I think from the reviews and recommendations, this is something I would be interested in reading eventually.

Lastnight had spaghetti bolognase, was very nice!

Great review Roxi! I think this book looks brilliant, just my thing.
-
Brilliant jokes.

I think that's what happens to me. Someone invisable hooks their finger around a book in a store, and I end up walking out with it! It's bizzare.

I wouldn't worry about Kate, Raven. We gave up hope that she'd slow down along time ago.
-
Agreed, watched it from a neutral view, giving a terrific game. Raven. I know what you mean. I wouldn't care if he lost to Roddick today, because he deserves a shot at the final as well. Obviously I want Murray to win, but I have a bad feeling about this.

Haha. Yeah, I'll make sure I write a review of A Clockwork Orange when I'm done, which wont take me too long I shouldn't think. Talking about reviews, this is a note-to-self of one's too write: The Hundredth Man. - Jack Kerley. A Savage Garden. - Mark Mills. Inkspell. - Cornelia Funke. (If I have time)

Ah. Well I finished The Savage Garden at about 2am. Excellent book! I read it very quickly because it had me hooked completely. Interesting, detailed and page-turning, I'd recommend a trip to Tuscany.. well, read the book instead.

Yeah course it is.

Well sadly I can't comment because I haven't ever read any.. However, some look good and

Forgot to watch this when it started then failed to catch up. Am I missing out on much?

It's great re-reading them from the beginning, you'll pick up things every time, that you miss before.

No idea who that could be, I'm totally stumped.

I'm a young scholer named Adam. Arriving in 1958 in Tuscany, I find the Docci family, their house and unique garden as seductive as each other. The Docci's however have some secret dark skeletons hidden away in their past and by the end of the mysterious and beautiful summer I will uncover two stories of love, revenge and murder.. Who am I and which story am I in?

I'm definitely adding anything by Jasper Fforde to my TBR, loads of people been saying he is great.

Later, when it was over, he cast his thoughts back to that sun-struck May day in Cambridge - where it had all begun - and asked himself whether he would have done anything differently, knowing what he did now. The Savage Garden. - Mark Mills.

Was it trivial that a beautiful women had wanted him? He suspected it was. Was it immature and vindictive to imagine Gloria getting wind of the encounter? The Savage Garden. - Mark Mills. -

Sounds very interesting Kate, good review! -
Hey Inver, hope you're okay..
I am working in a company where my Auntie was director, before she trgically passed away. I used to go into the offices with her and help out when she was here, and the Boss invited me to come back and do a few visits now and again. I'm staying at some of my Auntie's friends house, and we make a week of it, like a mini-holiday! I go into work through the week, then we do fun things outside of work, like bowling. It's great fun and I really enjoying even coming into the work. It's only for this week, but I'll be helping out with anything that needs doing really. I'm quite a fast typer and a lot of things need logging and files checking, etc.. so it's perfect for me too help out.

Yeah looking forward to the game now. Things are really hotting up now; will end up being a great final at this rate. I laughed the other day, because I thought to myself, I barely ever watch Wimbledon every other year, and this year I have watched loads! I've watched the vast majority of the games in the Mens and Ladies singles competitions - even catching up the ones I missed online / on catch up. I've watched a fair few of the Girls singles competition, and even some of the doubles games in the Mens and Ladies and Mixed competitions. I know that sounds really sad so I'll try to redeem myself. In my defence I haven't watched all these games like staring at the screen and watching them without getting up and moving. Only a few. Most of the time I just have it on in the back-ground, checking scores now and again.
