      Happy Birthday! And strictly speaking, you're only a day older than yesterday - if that makes you feel better.

      Thanks Ian I do feel better. I'm just going to lie about my age from now on anyway:-p

      Thanks Poppy!

  5. is thoroughly bored with 'The Casual Vacancy' by J.K Rowling. Surely she can't abandon a novel so soon into the new year?!

      Well that's convinced me, I've ditched 'The Casual Vacancy' for something else!

      Karsa Orlong

      We had about 4 inches of snow overnight. My cat loves it! :)

    2. karen.d

      karen.d

      I know it sounds a bit weird, but I would quite like snow here. I couldn't think of anything better than curling up with a good book while it's snowing outside. The problem is that at some point, I would have to go out in it!

  10. making very slow progress with my book lately. I seem to have lost my reading mojo :-(

  11. Off to a pool party to celebrate the Queen's jubilee this afternoon :-D

    1. poppyshake

      poppyshake

    2. karen.d

      karen.d

      yeah Ihad a great day, but even here in Spain it was quite cloudy and a little cold towards the end of the evening.

  12. off to Art class this morning. The room is usually so cold, that's it's more like going into the Arctic

  13. Off to see a panto tonight....I wonder what my Spanish friends are going to think of it.....

    1. Chrissy
    2. karen.d

      karen.d

      Thanks Chrissy, it was alot of fun last night. My spanish friends hadn't got a clue what was going on and some of the jokes with double entendres passed her by completely. She asked me to explain some of them and it was impossible as the were quite naughty!

    3. Athena

      Athena

      I'm glad you had fun :).

  14. Sad that Olympics finishes today. Only a couple of weeks to wait until the Paralympics start though!

    1. Inver

      Inver

      yeh have been enjoying it all....roll on two weeks time

       

    2. poppyshake

      poppyshake

    3. karen.d

      karen.d

      Yeah it seems like nothing happened now!

  15. so sad about the death of Whitney Houston. R.I.P

  16. The rain is so bad this morning, that when I woke up, I thought I was inside a car wash.

    1. Soros

      Soros

      Probably, people from England knows many types of rains.

    2. karen.d

      karen.d

      Rain doesn't happen too much here in Spain but when it does rain, it rains properly!

  17. thinks that it's hard to believe that this time next week, it will be Christmas..

  18. thinks that may be playing Wii Sports until 3.30 am with friends was a bad idea. My back and shoulder are in agreement ouch!

    1. Devi

      Devi

      that happened to me after my first time with the wii!

    2. karen.d

      karen.d

      I'm glad it's not just me then! Feeling a little less sore today.

  19. Trying to glam myself up for a Christmas party tonight. It might take a while...

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      It only takes a bit of sparkle to be Christmas Glam. : )

    2. karen.d

      karen.d

      Well I think I managed to look ok, I had a good time anyway!

  20. wants to wish everyone on the BCF boards a happy new year!

      Great idea! But what categories could it have. 500 page speed reading?

    3. Raven

      Raven

      ^ The marathon would have to be reading A Game of Thrones. All of them . . .

    4. karen.d

      karen.d

      That sounds like a great idea!

      You're a Spring Chicken.

  23. will probably never get asked to compile a pub quiz again

    1. Ooshie

      Ooshie

      I had that experience too, karen; it had seemed such a good quiz when I compiled it, but when they read out the questions...:D

    2. karen.d

      karen.d

      Yeah I never realised how hard it would be to try and combine difficult questions with more easier ones. Not everything you know, everyone else might! At least I won't probably be asked to do the quiz again, which is all right with me, I prefer to answer the questions, not compile them.

    3. Ooshie

      Ooshie

      Yes, I stuck to answering rather than compiling after that! :)

  24. wishes everyone a Merry Christmas!!!!! I hope you're all having a great day!

  25. would rather stay in bed this morning, than go to Art.
