HAPPY Birthday to my son Danial who is 20 today
Can't believe he is not a teenager any more!
So, What did I do last week?
A very busy week at work… as I'd been off the week before, I was certainly paying for it this week with lots and lots of stuff left on my desk, and phone call after phone call from the bereaved families. I hardly ever got home before 7 in the evening *sigh*
It is still cold / freezing during the night (car windows need to be scraped off in the morning), but during the day it is usually very pleasant, and… it didn't rain for about 1 week now. Even though our daylight saving hasn't started yet her in England, it's still noticeable that the days are getting longer and boy, do I enjoy it. At least I don't leave the house and the dark and come back on the dark.

This Week's Question:
How have your reading habits changed in the past few years? Did you get interested in a new genre? Do you read more? Less? Why do you think your habits changed, if they did.
- How many of those famous books did you read? I'll tell you mine.
Have a great week and happy reading my bookish friends.
