Thanks for recommending this, really drawn into it and I don't usually like books based on letters ... it's beautifully written and this woman's life just gently flows into your brain ...

Just started Heather Critchlow's Cal Lovett series ... it's very good 'who done it' writing ... nice characters ...

On the Calculation of Volume III ... been waiting all year for it ...

Hooray ....

The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller ... shows the difference between really good writing and just a good read ... although it's both

If anybody is interested, I am a left leaning Labour Party member who despises the Tory party, however I will vote for anyone if it will stop Reform ...

Alan Hollinghurst's 'Our Evenings' ... it's excellent ...

In a pub at Bucklers Hard, Beaulieu, wondering why they had put the tv on ...

Well I just finished Sally Rooney's 'Intermezzo' and loved it, best book I've read for a bit and I've read a lot of books ... thank you Sally ...

What's the matter with you people? The NHS just saved my husband's life while we were away from home, different area of the country, different hospital, different doctor for after care ... the app was invaluable, the care and expertise superb. Stop knocking it, the app is a tool, learn to use it

I hope not, game playing is so juvenile, let's hope the adults are back

Ukraine is actually fighting a war for it

Leave him alone, he's doing fine, can you imagine if we had Truss or Johnson as PM right now?!

I'm in England and the terrifying thing is that from here I see full on cruel dictatorship, yet closer to the horror in America I see joking and 'looking the other way' ... will it take the first death camp to wake up? ... oh no, we're already past that

Oh, more than one generation

I managed it eventually in 5 but still didn't get Connections, what does that say about my brain?
