Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Foo and Rah took me to Jazz in the Garden at church yesterday (pao couldn’t come – he is still horribly sick) and it was lovely to chill out in the garden with knitting, a picnic and Pimms I managed to complete three rows of Kiri before I gave up – it was getting dark! [...]

pao woke me at midnight so that I could get my copy of HP7. It was only £5 at a certain 24 hour supermarket! So naturally I came out with HP7, a couple of sun loungers (which I sat on and wrigggled about muchly on to make sure they would cope with being sat on [...]

SRP Book 7

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

I feel like an alien has taken over my body and all I want to do is sleep sleep sleep but when I wake up I feel dreadful. I was quite sad that I couldn’t get to London yesterday for Nic’s baby shower but it was good that I could participate via the online chatroom [...]

STOP PRESS! I remembered in the depths of Kat with a K’s rule clarification and that we were allowed to count any audio books. I’ve just double-checked this with her and she said I could count them so here goes: SRP Book 18 Small Gods by Terry Pratchett The god Om is trapped in the [...]

SRP Book 17

Friday, September 1st, 2006

I can’t quite believe that the Summer Reading Program is almost at an end. It has been enormous fun and I’m really pleased that I reached all my goals which were : read 10 books and for 1 of those to be non-fiction. I just scrapped in at the deadline with 17 books in total. [...]
