    Morning. I hope you've had a good week and have an even better weekend!

  2. Mac
    This sounds interesting, also. I'll keep my eye on what you make of it, Sarah. Hope you're excellent and well, pal.

    It's that time again, Sarah, where I zoom by with a quick 'Hellloooooooooo...' and wish you a lovely weekend.

     

    How's your week been, chum of mine?

     

    Nice new photo, by the way. I can't bring myself to change mine, as all the others I have of me look sh*t. That tells me something...:lol:

    Good morning, Genevieve. How has your week been? Mine has been very full and I'm just about to toddle off to work again. The sun is shining here, the sky is very blue with an occasional cloud and the birds are singing their hearts out. It's quite lovely.

     

    I've got a busy weekend with two Twenty-First birthday parties to attend and a wedding. If I'm honest, I'm feeling a little freaked out at how much I've got to cram in to the weekend, and wish I could have some 'Me'-time, but one can't have everything one wants, eh? I have Tuesday off and my plan is to concentrate on recording some new songs, so that'll focus me in a very good way. It's quite cathartic, getting music out of you and onto something solid.

     

    What is happening with you? How are you doing? :friends0:

    Good morning, Katie. How has your week been? It's Saturday, and I'm just about to get myself off to work for the morning. My week has been very full, with some curious things coming about. I certainly can't complain about being bored! I hope you're well, chum. Have a magic weekend. :D

    Friend of the Devil by Peter Robinson The victim is no older than Banks's own daughter. Just 19, she's found raped and strangled in the dark tangle of cobbled alleyways they call The Maze. There's no shortage of suspects, and Banks finds himself missing DI Annie Cabbot. Their personal problems aside, he could do with her sharp instints on the case. But Annie has troubles of her own. On loan to the Eastern Area, she's been called to investigate the cold-blooded killing of a woman in a wheelchair. On th face of it, the two deaths have nothing in common. But as Annie digs deeper, she finds something disturbingly familiar in the case. Perhaps she and Banks will find themselves working together again a lot sooner than expected... This is the first book I've read by this chap. A colleague at work gave it to me as I finished Long Lost, telling me that I would enjoy it. I did. It's certainly a superior crime novel. It's not his first by a long shot - I think there's another sixteen or so published prior to this novel, which I'm quite pleased about as his writing is sharp, pacey and easy to read. The characters are well rounded and fleshed out (probably because he's worked with them for years) and likeable. The romantic in me identifies with the hero, Banks (we like the same things) and the plot twisted in ways that I found unpredictable, which is a good thing, eh? I always like finding authors I've never even heard of that have written a whole slew of books full of interesting characters, and particularly those that have a series following them. So I'm somewhat pleased about this. My colleague also gave me a Wallander novel to get my teeth into, but she's only gone and given me the fifth one in the series, hasn't she! I'll have to go and get a whole new bunch of books from Waterstone's now. Sigh. 7/10. Certainly an enjoyable crime thriller to try out.

    Did you have a rough weekend, then? I hope you're not unwell, chum! I can't believe it's mid-week already...time moves with the speed of a train thundering out of control, dammit! :lol:

  8. Mac

    Christ, that's awful news! I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm very close to my own step-father, as he brought me up from the age of six (I was six, not him) and can't imagine what you must be feeling. I hope you're as well as can be expected at this time.

     

    Take care. Chat soon.

  9. Mac

    I've PM'd you, because it wouldn't let me post the rather long missive I scribed on your message board, my friend.

     

    I hope this finds you very well and enjoying your weekend. :friends0:

  10. Mac

    Very cool avatar, by the way.

  11. Mac

    You were up early today, Janet! 5.30?!?

     

    Hope you're very well.

    I only use this site. I'm a bit of a one for not reading any reviews and just making my own mind up. However, there are friends on here who have very similar tastes to me, so if they recommend something to me, I'll have a go.
  13. Mac

    Thanks, Roxi, although select people may disagree with you! :lol:

     

    How are things going at Uni? You're probably nearly finished now, aren't you?

     

    Have a great weekend. :D

    Hello From Me.

    Mac replied to wiggywoo's topic in Introductions

    Hello, Debs. I'm sure you'll get loads of ideas from this site.

    The spanish restaurant called 'Ole' reminds me of a take-away joint up north called 'Abrakebabra' Marvellous. Tonight, it's lemon chicken, stir fried veg and rice for me. Mmmm...I might start on it now...
  16. Mac

    Hello,, Frankie. I've not said 'hi' for a while, so thought I'd better pop by. Hope you're very well and...

     

    Have you got your fella to join up yet, or is he still only taking part vicariously?

     

    What did he think to The Steep Approach To Garbadale?

    Greetings, on this rather damp Friday (well, it is here in the Peak District, anyway!)

     

    I hope you're in splendid shape and looking forward to a marvellous weekend.

     

    How's it all going? :friends0:

    Hi Michelle. Just dropping by to say 'hello' and all that jazz. You know on the "Who's Online" bit in the quick links doo-dah? What is a 'google spider'? I don't much care for the sound of that!

     

    Here's me, six foot and ugly and I'm scared of itty-bitty spiders...

     

    *tuts*

     

    Hope you're very well. :D

  19. Mac

    Thank you, my friend. I'm glad you came out of your rather worrying experience well, too.

  20. Mac
    I simply cannot pass a Waterstone's without popping in. I'm dreadful. I've even got one of those points cards. I just feel so safe and comfortable in them, dammit! Plus, the one in my local town has a very lovely lady with whom I enjoy chatting to about books. Such eyes... *sighs wistfully*
  21. Mac

    Hello. I'm popping by to say 'hello', so that's that done! I hope you're okay! Toodles.

  22. Mac

    Greetings to you. I'm glad you're well and enjoying B.F.Time! All is well with me, thank you. I've left work early for some quiet-time. The door's locked, the house is tidy and clean and I am alone in peace. Lovely. I've had some frustrating news from the Police Service, mind. They're pulling back on recruitment for a while, so I just have to be patient until they give me a date for the next stage, dammit. Never mind. If there's just one thing I am, it is patient.

     

    Take care, Flower. Have a very, very splendid weekend. :friends0:

  23. Mac

    How's the interview gone, Paula? Have you shopped like the possessed, as well? Is everything groovy? How many more questions will I ask during this post? Will there be so many we won't be able to count them?

     

    No. :lol:

    I, Lucifer - Glen Duncan (it's a really good book!)
  25. Mac

    Hello my friend! Thought I'd drop in to say 'Yo!'. So there you are, Sarah. I've said it. I hope you are very well. Have a terribly good weekend.
