What makes you think that we don't have lives, medic ? There are a lot of busy people who also find time to correspond her. We have a little spare time, and we use it to read and to keep in contact with these, other, friends on Gransnet. You must have some interest in our discussion too or you would not be able to criticise.

This is our round robin, medic.

The two had lived side by side in a pair of semi-detached cottages, like matchboxes set end to end under one covering of thatch.

medic, why don't you stop being so negatively judgmental about other people's lives?

Here's the page 52-er I didn't add yesterday, partly because I wasn't sure if it qualified as a sentence. Oh, and the oages aren't actually numbered, but there is an easy way of finding the fiftysecond.

So, here you are:

Radical leaves o; stem leaves numerous, green reticulate below, semi-amplexicaul; heads many, small; peduncles and flo. bracts densely clothed with dark glandular hairs*; styles livid.

*pitmuff anyone?

No idea what the styles are livid about.

pages even

I would just ignore and carry on.

'Later, when the sun is up, its roof will be perfect, strikingly red square against the dust because of the tomatoes his wife has set out to dry in the sun.'

Love this author!!

I think it's a great thread Elegran as, presumably, do the others who have posted. Thank you for starting it!

This morning I was at court, supporting a very reluctant DV victim, on the way home I called to see DS1 with his 40th birthday present. DD3 called in with Bertie 'the wrecker'. This afternoon I will ice 36 cupcakes then I will phone my friend who is having chemo, make ginger beef for DH and I, have and watch Strictly. I think that might be called a life!!

Sorry, all and ignore me!

Glad you like it, Kitty. It is lasting quite well, four days now without flagging.

And a lot of different posters, it is not dominated by just a few.

As you study a course, and range over a number of different topics, your mind can become cluttered with lots of disconnected bits and pieces of information.

That was a quote not an observation on this lovely thread! Are we allowed to post more than one a day?
Medic Go heal yourself we are enjoying this.

To Stella it sounded something like a prayer, 'Oh,' she told him, 'it's much worse than that.'

"In bed," said Clover meekly.

Someone might just get that one.

Now when they call each other cousin, it's with the certain knowledge that they are.

Radio Times remains culturally significant for two reasons.

"It was opened in 1901 by the City and South London Railway (C&SLR), which would later merge with the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway (CCE&HR) to form what is now the Northern Line."

Sorry about that, but I felt it would be cheating to cross the room and grab vol. 1 of A la Recherché du Temps Perdu, which only has four complete sentences on page 52 anyway.

"The phantom vanished: only the motes of dancing dust were left, resuming their random patterns in the air."

Don't know whether it would be cheating to cross the room or not, but I find myself picking up random books and checking page 52, fifth sentence in them.
This thread is fun Elegran.

Is it cheating to scour the bookcase for likely titles, and be disappointed when page 52 is blank, or just has a chapter heading?

thatbags ..... 'peduncle'.....I don't know what on earth that is but I like it!

Kurcher and others imagine that in the centre of the channel of the Maelstrom is an abyss penetrating the globe,and issuing in some very remote part-the Gulf of Bothnia being somewhat decidedly named in one instance.
