5 (today, Sunday 27th May)
Panic about not knowing where to start – try and think this through while knitting, lose place and have to start unravelling.
Scribble furiously in notebook until page...

| I liked the way this book started out as quite similar to other Janet Evanovich novels I've read that have been a lot more conventional, and turned into a cross between a murder mystery, a thriller and 'The Da Vinci Code' - only funnier. I assume it'...more | |

“No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool.”
― T.S. Eliot

“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.”
