The Bookworm: This Week: 24th February 2014
http://ukbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/02/this-week-24th-february-2014.html
Monday, February 24, 2014. This Week: 24th February 2014. Wet again. I am so over all this rain! My comfy snowflake pyjamas. A Country in the Moon. A supersoft pink lap blanket for Rose. I succumbed to pester power in the wool shop on Saturday. I only went in for a circular sock needle to replace my nice Knitpro one that Tevye sat on and snapped, and came out with three balls of this James C Brett Flutterby. In pale pink. It is only polyester but ridiculously soft. To Marie getting a shower. Friday: Mayb...

The Bookworm: 7 Quick Takes: 17th January 2014
http://ukbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/01/7-quick-takes-17th-january-2014.html
Friday, January 17, 2014. 7 Quick Takes: 17th January 2014. 1 I started watching Sherlock after hearing lots of recommendations. After a false start when BBC iPlayer kept cutting out on me I made it through the first episode of Series 3. I think it would have been confusing even if I had seen the first two series but despite my confusion it was gripping and I'm hooked. Tevye, on the other hand, decided it was not his thing. He also told me that it is very rare to see someone with such a "clean" diet....

The Bookworm: Immediate Book Meme
http://ukbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/02/immediate-book-meme.html
Friday, February 21, 2014. Where did the last month go? I saw this on Faith's blog. And I am long overdue a book post. 1 What book are you reading now? 2 What book did you just finish? 3 What do you plan to read next. Horace and Me: Life Lessons from an Ancient Poet, by Harry Eyres. This is a mix of memoir and paean to the Roman poet which I put on my Christmas. Wish list after my Car Buddy's enthusiasm for Horace piqued my interest. A proper hard cover book rather than an ebook for a change. Reader, wri...

Monday, September 09, 2013. This Week: 9th Sept. It feels as though it has gone from August to November in four days. Thursday was a glorious hot summer day. Today? Wet, miserable and cold.

The green sweater, which has slowed down since I came home. I'm on a seventies kick. From the learning rooms. Here are so...

The Bookworm: Gdansk: Part 1
http://ukbookworm.blogspot.com/2014/02/gdansk-part-1.html
Saturday, February 22, 2014. This late medieval crane overhanging the river is one of the iconic - though not very pretty! Buildings of Gdansk. Looking up from underneath you can see the two large treadmill wheels that powered it and the hook used to load and unload boats. Our hotel was on the river, just the other side of the crane. The crane is now part of the Gdansk Maritime Museum next door, which also had buildings on the opposite bank of the river. Here is a close up . Posted by The Bookworm. 2 Bea...

The Bookworm: Gratitude
http://ukbookworm.blogspot.com/2013/12/gratitude.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. My friend Faith wrote this post. On her Household Diary blog listing ten things for which she is grateful. It inspired me to do the same. I'm taking gratitude for my family as a given and here, in no particular order, are ten more things for which I am grateful:. 4 My bedroom, which is the one place I can (sometimes) find some time alone. It is my happy space. 8 Transport. The ability to hop in the car or onto a train and go more or less anywhere I want to go. After ma...9 Mus...
