nah it wasn't a fun game - it was too cold and instead of the wrong trousers I had the wrong shoes

[Jean]

Cold is no fun at all, especially for the goalie, I imagine, since there's so little moving compared to the other players. Hope you can curl up in a cozy spot with a book and a hot drink.

[Sharon]

im not the goalie LOL I play defence but it was still cold ;) yeah field hockey aaron so brrrr

I am in withdrawal systems Sharon....

I usually play tennis 3 times a week..

Been off work for two weeks with a bad virus effecting my diabetes.

I am suffering terribly with frustration. As a sportsperson you know what it is like. I have had to turn down 5-6 matches in the last two weeks.

Next week back to work, so back to walking 12-14 miles a day, back to snooker, then next week already booked up for tennis !!

Although getting soft in my old age, I get spoiled as I play tennis mostly indoors !

[Ter'e]

Gosh, how nice to be catching up a little bit.
Someone mentioned hot drink and it made me think of the fresh whipped cream we have and that led me to thinking about a good Irish Coffee. But, at 2:53 a.m. I doubt that my hubbs would appreciate me making a pot of coffee. Sure sounds good tho.

Our house is going back on the market. Should be live on Tuesday or Wed. The Photographer is coming today. I have things pretty clean, will just have to do run thru, spot dust, steam floors and hide the foo-fah that our Realtor does not want out. I have this beautiful ceramic rooster in my kitchen.......Brando seems to think I need to hide it. The fight is on. I love my rooster. Kitchen is pretty bare now, I have stripped almost everything.........but I think the rooster has to stay.
Wish us LUCK!!!! 90 day contract. If it doesn't sell this time, we will stay in FL.

yeah I know what I was like when I had my concussion and couldn't do anything then it took me 3 months to be able to get back to doing heavy gym work and even at that I am having to ease in slowly

[Kirsten]

Happy Be Humble Day, Walking Your Dog Day, and International World Thinking Day!

[Sharon]

will keep you a slice ;)

[Ty]

I won't be watching the Oscars out of protest. I am totally bemused and shocked that David Oyelowo wasn't nominated for Selma.

[Christine]

Sharon wrote: "will keep you a slice ;)"

OK! I feel better. (-:

[Janet , Moderator]

I won't be watching the Oscars live, it's playing through the night here. Will record and do my own version of editing!! Go the Brit nominees!!!

[Brenda]

I won't be watching, either. Not interested.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Me either Brenda, I would rather be reading! 8:D

[Ter'e]

I want a piece of that cake too. What kind is it???
Christine.......don't eat it all.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Hope there is enough for all of us! 8:D

Chocolate, TT!

[Christine]

Sue, how much snow did you get?

[Freda]

<<<<<<<<---------------Is not watching the Oscars.

[Christine]

Any UKers still up? If so, can somebody define stroppy for me?

[Michael]

Freda wrote: "<<<<<<<<---------------Is not watching the Oscars."

I'm with you, Freda. Not interested.

[Christine]

Freda wrote: "<<<<<<<<---------------Is not watching the Oscars."

Me neither, Freda. That red carpet stuff was interfering with my reading.

[Freda]

LOL "Stroppy" = touchy, belligerent, hostile, bad tempered, quick to take offense

[Christine]

Freda, how did you know that?

[Freda]

Christine wrote: "Freda, how did you know that?"

My children know a lot of Brits and love their accent? I can't hear it but I asked Adrian just now what it means. That's what he said. I also looked it up.

I want cake too, I deserve it. lol :D

[Christine]

It fits the sentence in my Brit book. Tell Mr. Adrian thank you.

He's says, most welcome Christine. :) He has also informed me that should he ever run away from home, he's going to UK, Australia, or Canada. hahahaha.

Christine wrote: "Sue, how much snow did you get?"
No, Christine, we only got a light dusting of snow. Nothing really...but the temperature drops tonight to -35 to -40 with the wind chill.

[Christine]

Bitter here today, but highs will get to at least 10 for rest of week. Ready for March.

[Janet , Moderator]

Skye hated it, Janet.

[Janet , Moderator]

I've just read the following line in the book.

"The more I read, the more miserable I feel."

The irony!!! :-\

[Christine]

Why don't you cut your losses with that one, Janet...

Question: When contacted by an author requesting you do an honest review of their book, what would be a respectful time frame to be finished?

[Sean, Moderator]

I used to always watch the Oscars right through the night, but now I find easy to tape and just run forward

[Ty]

Lynn wrote: "Question: When contacted by an author requesting you do an honest review of their book, what would be a respectful time frame to finished?"

putting on my author hat, Lynn, asap is the answer :)

the immediacy of reviews is important.

authors usually come seeking reviews for books that are just published or about to be published or have a book that needs love.

however, authors do realize that readers read gazillion books and that their book is not the center of a reader's universe.

i appreciate emails from reviewers saying that they can or cannot review my book in xyz time frame.


hope this helps.

I second what Ty says and just want to add that authors really appreciate readers who make the time and effort to leave reviews. :)

[Lynn Renee]

Thanks Ty and Heather.
