Now I can sit and type on.my Kindle Fire anywhere I have no excuse for not blogging regularly.I am blogging about books mainly on gussiebetty.wordpress.com and here about anything else,.I know you'd love to hear about my loo read.It's 'Daughter of Time Josephine Try.It is years since I first read this book but I followed up with many History books and concluded then that Richard was maligned and framed.Now I am going to read the most modern histories to see if anything had changed.,,In future it will make a difference that Richard 's bones have been found under a Leicester car park.The question of reburial how and where seems to have gone quiet.
I am really looking forward to the first Felixstowe Book Festival which my friend Random Nothings has helped organise.I'm just off now to book some tickets.Tomorrow I have a brilliant afternoon under the auspices of Birkbeck.This is Alumni week and one of the activities I'd a guided walk round the squares with Dr McNeile.We start in Bloomsbury Square and finish in Gordon Square with afternoon tea.As my health is,as you know a bit of a pain I have been resting so as to ensure I can go tomorrow.I'll report back.

Kindle Fire

Have just discovered that I can blog via my Kindle-ThiThis means that I can blog at any time so this time my bloggery won't fail.

I return Again

I have another blog called gussiebetty at wordpress.com but that didnt work well so I am back here again. I am being given a laptop too so will be able to post in bed. I must see if if I can post via a Kindle Fire. I can certainly listen to books and watch films. this modern technology is wonderful. I am now 72 so must up date profile. I have read a wonderful book courtesy of Netgalley. Called Letters from Skye Jessica Brockmole. It is an epistolary novel and quite superb.
I also want to mention the first felixstowe book Festival June 15th and 16th which has some amazinfgspeakers and the talks are not over expensive,It would be great to have the festival packed out. Helen Rappaport one of my best loved history writers will be speaking about The Romanovs. She has just finished writing a book about the four sisters.
shall try to write every day
