Aymen, I would LOVE to get to know you more and more about your religion and culture! I am friends with a woman who is from India and we have talked about Christianity and her beliefs. I find it fascinating. I am sure you are enjoying that cup of coffee! I know when we do our 21 Days of Prayer and I fast I am ready for whatever I give up as well! Enjoy!

Not had Nelson De Mille, still in discussions !

[Sean, Moderator]

Wow....

GB in the semi-finals of the Davis Cup to play Australia.

A great win for Andy Murray this afternoon. He was so tired after the last few weeks.

Now off to play tennis, singles for 2-3 hours.

Have a lovely week off Sharon. What did you think of Antman?

[Janet , Moderator]

I did some fence painting over the weekend. Most of the day on Sunday and ok it left me stiff and achy but I wasn't banking on the lower back pain I woke up with today. Agony! :-\

[Sean, Moderator]

Back Pain... nasty...painful

[Sean, Moderator]

Could be announcing our next Q & A's shortly.

Sadly no success with Nelson De Mille.

Agent and publishers said his book is out so not doung and more promotion work !

[Amber]

Try swimming, Janet?

[Janet , Moderator]

With my body?!! I couldn't possibly!! People would leave in droves, children would be crying. Besides I'm not a good summer, wish I was though.

[Janet , Moderator]

Swimmer not summer!!!

So you do your sums well, though?

[Janet , Moderator]

I meant wish I was a good swimmer. Summer, I was thinking the season. Maths never entered my head!! :-D
But I ain't bad on the number front!!

[Sharon]

LOL hope the back is feeling better janet know what you mean about swimming - I rarely subject people to the sight of me in a swimming costume!!

good wee day today was out shopping with mum this afternoon so was good to get her our the house and then I had crossfit this evening which has resulted in a couple of burst blisters but was a good sweaty workout. nearly finished my book and chilling in front of tv now hoping to get it finished tonight

[David]

It hasn't really been a good summer, either.

[Amber]

Well, I had heard that swimming is supposed to be good for bad backs... .

[Janet , Moderator]

Someone Else's Skin by Sarah Hilary is on offer at the moment in the UK on Amazon for 99p. I highly recommend this debut as I think it's the start of good things to come.

It won crime novel of the year award at this year's Theakstons crime festival. No small thing!

Look out for it on offer in the US shortly, hopefully will go on offer there too.

I'm hoping Sarah will come and do a Q&A session with us.

[Sharon]

cheers janet

got up and took dog to beach for walk / run then out for lunch with the folks currently having some down time before the gym tonight so catching up with GR

[Kirsten]

What fun! I wish I had a beach nearby. My dog loves the water.

I've been lazy lately and haven't been walking. It's just too darn hot!

The Tribes STILL get no respect! Damned Rethuglican jackasses!

[Sharon]

quiet weekend planned - dog to beach tomorrow hopefully PT session on sunday then get ready for back to work on Monday - have a good weekend folks

[Christine]

Wondered what happened to you, Aaron. Thought maybe Janet put you in jail. So glad you had your GB taken care of and that you are home and doing OK!

[[deleted user]]

Sharon, a dog walk on the beach sounds great! Enjoy your weekend too :)

Aaron, pleased your surgery went well! Rest up, oh, and read!! ;)

[Michael]

Aaron--heal quickly my friend.

[Jean]

Gall bladder - who needs it, right? No heavy lifting for you for a while, eh? Rest up and take care.

[Jean]

Just discovered a National Writers' Series video of Karin Slaughter talking about Cop Town and her writing on YouTube. Fabulous! Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50_s6...
There are other authors in this series as well.

[Janet , Moderator]

You'll be fine, Aaron. I had mine removed a few years ago. Was all fine. Just rest.

[[deleted user]]

Thanks for the link Jean! Will have a look..

[[deleted user]]

Take care Aaron, good days are coming.

Rest up Aaron. Glad things are going well after the surgery. Take care. You are officially allowed to pamper yourself and relax after a surgery!

[Janet , Moderator]

Am on a reading frenzy. Finished a book last night. Started another in the early hours and finished it not long ago!!

[Janet , Moderator]

No, I don't think so. Just have to have the time to plough through.

[Dawn]

You will have plenty of time to read while recovering. Glad your surgery went well.

[Sean, Moderator]

Get well soon Aaron

[Amber]

Surgery's a big, fat pain in the ass, Aaron. Even something as mundane as carpal tunnel is. Been there, done that, got the (bleeping) t-shirt.

Music always made me feel better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVikZ...

[Sean, Moderator]

Janet

bought Sarah Hilary.

Noted number 2 book is out as well.

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, available on Netgalley. Still there.

Tardy tidings, Aaron, but rest and recuperate and read! :-)

[Titas]

Hey there!

[Amber]

This song perfectly shows my feelings about junk food:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPkTG...

[Aymen]

I m thinking about trying to read less and focus on other things like family, job, religion, workout , friends... sometimes i feel really linterested in the stories more than my own life, so i don t make big decisions or work on improving myself. Well i can read like once a day, but not all day! I will try and see if i can handle reality.
