Thinking of you too Georgesgran ?

Happy Anniversary AuntieFlo!???

Congratulations Auntieflo that's a long time!
Georgesgran and
I've been on that canal Hollysteers probably about 20 years ago - it was a lovely day. Hope to make it to North wales in about 10 days time, so looking forward to it!

Good morning, Mick and everyone from the cool and grey of Carlisle. The sun actually came out yesterday in the late afternoon but it was a bit cool for sitting out. My CH has occasionally kicked in first thing in the morning and in the evening. Last night I had to turn it up and put a thicker sweater on. I seem to feel the cold more and more.
Yesterday at breakfast, a crown came out. I phoned my private dentist to find there wasn't one in that day. There isn't this morning either, they are all on holiday! The dentist that may come in for emergencies may give me a call. It just isn't good enough so I'm looking to change. The current practice is part of a chain which took over my former Whitehaven practice where they were fine. I think the problem is that the dentists all seem to be Spanish and disappear home for the summer. Not a way to run a business. I'm glad I'm not in agony.
I've dismembered the last of my cardboard boxes but stuff is still scattered around looking for a home. I was fed up with seeing the boxes though.
I remember that poem now, Ashcombe. It's a bit sad, isn't it?
Smiling at Iris's precocious comment!
It's a sad anniversary for you, Georgesgran, all rather raw still.
Will be thinking of you.

Congratulations & very Best Wishes to Auntieflo & your DH, on your Diamond Wedding Anniversary. .

Also thinking of you, Georgesgran .

Warm wishes to you all, dear friends.

Just finished my book club book and looking for another. Can you remind me Urmstongran the title of the one you’ve just read, please ?
Any other good ones to recommend ? ?

Happy anniversary Auntieflo ??

I have recently finished a book called 'People Like Us' by Louise Fein. It is set in Leipzig at the beginning of the 1930's.

Although a work of fiction there is a lot of historical fact in the story.

Well worth reading.

Ah Gingster and hollysteers - fellow bookworms.

Don’t you just love the anticipation of choosing a new book? You’re certainly never alone with a book. I love disappearing for hours into one!

Gingster my last novel was by Kristen Hannah & called ‘The Four Winds’. Would highly recommend. About the Dust Bowl in Texas & Oklahoma in the 1930’s and the subsequent migration of many to search for work in California. Heart rending novel based of course on fact. So much so, I ordered a classic I've not read since Year 11 at the grammar school. ‘Grapes of Wrath’ by Steinbeck.

My new book which I started today is very promising. ‘Anatomy of a Scandal’ by Sarah Vaughan. Apparently it’s being made into a Netflix drama. Sarah Vaughan is a political writer for the Guardian. Her protagonist is a 41y old barrister so we will be having a court case/a politician in the spotlight with a #me-too slant. I like a complete change of genre to keep my interest high!

Thanks for the recommendation Sar53! Will take a peek.
