I will start it next Friday. I am guessing it will likely count for one of the tasks in the next round, even if we don't know what they are until tomorrow!!

We always signed up for new developments in TV pretty quickly. Dad claimed it was work related so he had to have MNet and then DSTV a soon as possible.

The interesting side note is that while I have a TV it is not connected to any aerial or dish at all. I watch from DVD or hard drive only!

My parents moved to SA because of TV. Dad worked for BBC and came to SA to help start TV. He actually pushed the button that turned TV on in Port Elizabeth before moving to Joburg where most of the production work happened. He worked for SABC for many years in various different areas, including being involved with filming sports and live shows at times.

Finished Task 3

Little Red Cap & Scarlet - Wolf follows her to Grandma's place (Book based on story so lots of connections)

3/7

Well done!

That is quite a commute. I get annoyed when it takes longer than 20 minutes to get to work...

That was my nomination and the task is listed on the nomination thread as:

24. Read a book that features one of your favourite species of animal. (It has to be a species that is accepted as real by science, nothing that is considered mythical!) - Needs to play a big part.

I'm convinced that dragons exist, but science had not yet found compelling evidence to agree with me, unfortunately!

Oh, I think I will need to run the commentary some time too. I own the DVD and saw it on my shelf, which made me think of our Grimm challenge and I thought it would be fun to watch again.

Exactly!

Interesting trivia, but I did find the actual movie quite boring...

Stuck at home with major storm outside, so I will watch as soon as I get the coffee going

Finished Timeless.

5/5

I have decided what to watch when it is my turn (21 April) - Brothers Grimm!!

Yeah, I know about the new series and will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for letting me know anyway.

Waiting for authors to write books can be so frustrating...

I am really enjoying this series. Passed it on to a friend who is also loving it. Thanks for the challenge, I doubt I would have read them otherwise.

I have completed this challenge!"

Congrats!

Finished Claudia's choice Cinder

Cinder was a very easy read, I finished it in one day.

Read Heartless
