I'm pleased that this last week's been much quieter than the week before - no more riots. Mixed weather, but no flooding here in the Midlands - unlike our old stomping grounds in the south which have suffered from flash flooding!! Things have gone downhill I think since we left - not just flooding but lots of public sector strikes, not least the binmen!! Glad we moved!
Checking back, I've only read 9 books so far this year - so some way behind last year. Of those 9 books though, 5 have been massive George RR Martin books.. speaking of which I've whizzed through the very latest book A Dance with Dragons (first borrower from the library, always a good feeling). Fantastic (and shocking) plot development - but I wish he'd stop killing my fave characters off!! (and I didn't even see it coming - left me speechless!). I was on a bit of a mission to finish it - firstly because as a 1000 page hardback book it was really heavy in my bag when running to and from the station in the mornings, secondly because there were loads of people waiting to borrow it after me from the library, and thirdly because I've already got two other books from the library to read..
Eden's been potty training this week, and has been doing great. Really proud of her. Looking forward to going family camping soon too.. will keep you posted..
