i do apologise to those people who read my blog and who have tuned in to find nada. I have had a wobbly two weeks with the wound on my back and a headache produced by the humid weather and the fact that the part of Horley where I live has pollution at almost forbidden levels. this comes from an airport and several motorways. On Tuesdays I go with friends on a private bus (means we pay) to Brighton. It's such a treat to breathe fresh air and on wed. I go to Norfolk to Cley to visit my bro and his wife. A whole week of fresh air. Alas He hasn't a computer so again there will be a break but I'll blog tomorrow and then lots when I'm back and not 'gallavanting' as freind puts it.
My daughter and I went to Liverpool to see the Klimt at the Tate on the train I read what I feel will be my book of 2008 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel society'. Yesterday there was a whole article about this book which is set to be the runaway seller of the summer. It's just so sad that there will be no more books from this author. Apparently she was so modest this nearly didn't see the light of day.
I have been very disappointed with the Proms so far or maybe I've missed the best but I'm not thrilled by very modern music or jazz. The best music for the last two weeks has been on Classic FM.
I didn't realise when I saw @Miss Pettigrew lives for a Day' in HK that it wasn't released here. Now it is. I cannot recommend it highly enough. i just found it wonderful.
Have also just finished 'Lucia in Wartime' Tom Holt. This is a seemless 'take' on EH Benson and hilarious. Mapp and Lucia are even more vitriolic about each other and we discover that neither Lucia nor Pillson know how to make a cuppa. I wouldn't have credited it if years ago a customer of my dad's shop hadn't asked myself and my ex to go and stay with her mother because she was ex India and knew nothing. as atrained teacher i wasn't going to do that.It was asked in such an insulting manner too. Now I look back and laugh.
i'll write again tomorrow. My head has got the better of me. (not usually a whimp).
