Anyone for a beer?

The oranges juice wasn't too bad either.....

Reading Group #2

Goodness! What a difference from the Greenwich Group.

Apart from the fact that there was a "waiting list...." , first meeting I felt like these somewhat

stuck up women did not want a new member, and especially not a FOREIGN member, came home feeling somewhat .......what? Sad? Offended? Unwanted?

Yes, all of the above.

Anyway, I went back for the second meet and they didn't seem too bad. They even spoke to me this time. And even though all we do is discuss the book to DEATH for a whole hour, with absolutely no refreshment, not even WATER, is something, I guess.

This is soooooooooooooo not like my SA book clubs. As soon as I know enough people I am starting my own proper book club.

In the meantime, any books you would like me to explain..........

And indeed, it may not be too long until I can start my own club. I have MANY friends. I have Durbanville Dorette, and I have members from Fat Club, and Dr Lauren....and lovely niece Sam.......and Dry Cleaners Michelle, HA! I am almost ready!

Cyprus sign

Hee hee

today's sign

How funny is this? Next to Earslfield station!!

Back to Reality

Still and all, it was good to get back to London, albeit at 2am. Wasn't that cold either. And still is not so bad.

It was sad washing and ironing all our holiday clothes and then vacuum packing them away for another 6 months. (no room for both winter and summer wardrobes...remember?? this is London)

Then today it was the time warp thing. I don't care who or how many people explain this to me I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT.

So now the clocks go back an hour. So when I wake up it is still dark, but it gets dark an hour earlier...so how is this a good thing? And it would do that anyway all by itself? And who would know?

This has got to be the most stupid thing ever.

Anyone who has a reasonable , logical explanation, please post it.

Cyprus

Well of course it didn't rain! Until our very last day when there was a spit and a spot that dried as soon as it hit the hot hot ground.

FABULOUS holiday...sea and sun and lazy lazy days...swimming in a blue blue ocean, the only ocean I have ever swum in where there are no sharks. It is a liberating feeling, all safe and sound.

Of course our hosts were wonderful, but they are Darling Simon's folks, so what could they be but Darling?

Out of Office

Yay! Off to Cyprus for 10 days.

I am , however, taking the laptop with me. If it rains I will switch it on.
