Just finished Jimmy Stewart - Bomber Pilot
Gave me a completely new perspective of a movie star I grew up watching - and now admire even more.

I'm just getting to the end of The Fellowship of the Ring. Much better than the film!

Hmmm I've got 3 or 4 books on the go at the same time.... Barry Trotter & The Shameless Parody has just been started, Stephen Kings the Dark Tower is in first few pages & Nigella's Feast is a treat. I read about 3 times as fast as Franks Dad but I hasten to add I do take it in, not just skimming!!

Most of our time at the moment is taken up with wondering if we'll ever actually move into this house we're supposedly buying.... :x

I thought we were meant to say the gardening books we'd been reading! Well, if we're talking about other books, I've been reading Scott Thornbury's Uncovering Grammar and believe it or not it really is very interesting! :D
Also, I've just finished Peter Carey's The True History of the Ned Kelly, which was great, even if you know what happens in the end.

Well i'm over the moon.
Bought a gardening book off ebay, because it had been signed by Harry Dodson, from the victorian kitchen garden series.
But to my amazement now it has arrived, the book actually belonged to Harry Dodson and he has wrote where and who he worked for, for the first twelve years of his working life. You won't believe how happy i am to now own one of his books.
Yippee, Hooraah, Hooray i'll have the biggest grin on my face for the next few days. :lol:
I suppose the only down side is, he is not with us anymore.

Kind regards a very happy Old Herbaceous.

It comes to those who wait.

Well, that's something to treasure, O.H. Nice!
I'm dividing my attention between the autumn fruit & veg catalogues and Hardy's Jude the Obscure, which I haven't read since I was at school.
Regards, Lyn

Under a Tuscan Sun - Frances Mayes AGAIN!!

Not getting a holiday in Italy this year because of the impending birth - shame really, we were going to taste the wine made from the grapes we picked last year - so this is to abate the urge a bit.
Welcome to Finland!!

Saturday's Guardian prize crossword over and over again until midnight last night when it all suddenly fell into place - no wonder the setter calls himself Araucaria!
