  1. 'The Tale Of Custard The Dragon' ~ Ogden Nash and Lynn M. Munsinger
  2. Monster by Moonlight! The Immortal Saga Of 'The Wolf Man'* *It's more a documentary, but how could I resist using such a title?!
  3. Have just polished off a jacket potato with cheese and beans.
  4. Is it 'Dying To Win' by Eileen Goudge?
  5. An excellent age!
  6. I agree about 'Four Weddings & A Funeral' Chesilbeach! I'll throw in 'Serenity' too for making me cry, and 'Steel Magnolias'.
  7. One of my all time favourites is Emma Thompson. There is a scene in the film 'Love Actually', where she is in the bedroom listening to Joni Mitchell. Nothing is said, but my goodness she conveys a wealth of emotion. Johnny Depp, for the depth and nuance he brings to his roles. Richard Burton had a charisma that came straight through the camera and that voice? Gary Oldman brings a quality to his roles that you can almost touch, and I will always have a soft spot for Jean Reno. There are so many from which to choose ~ I may edit later!
  8. I'm activating the new and shiny BCF mojo binding (invisible) sparkly elasticated thread for you Charm! That should keep your naughty mojo in check!
  9. How true, and how wonderfully described. I get an almost visceral response when I look along my bookshelves at times.
  10. Since the government is so opposed to readers, thinkers, walkers, and slow drivers, why does it allow the procession of men along the railroad tracks to exist? I would say because they would know that there are always those in society who exist outside of it's norms. By allowing the railroad track walkers to exist they are keeping them seperate from the rest of compliant society without any effort or cost. The government would have little to fear from the walkers as they would remain apart from the mainstream through choice, thus diminishing any chance of infecting society. Governments have a tendency to consider things mainly in the short term, therefore their thinking or planning would not take into consideration the rail walkers eventual purpose of relaying and replication of books to be a valid exercise. It would be seen as neither attainable nor threatening.
  11. 'The Knife Of Letting Go' by Patrick Ness arrived through the door this morning. I am just getting into Linwood Barclay's 'Too Close To Home' now, my mojo is lurking in the shadows.......I have found that despite my wandering mojo, my TBR pile is still getting taller!
