Sounds like a lot of fun;) but it is 1am in Europe... if I'll be awake I'll try;)Father's day is not always on 19th. It depends on a country you live... we celebrate always on 23th

In Canada and the USA it's the 19th. But I know that mother's day is about 2-3 months earlier in Europe. I didn't know that father's day was different though. ^-^
It's be great if you can join us. If not tomorrow then in the future. :)
Only 15 minutes now! I hope someone else joins in or this will be very lonely. :/

I've always been intrigued by Dr. Who but something always throws me off from actually watching the show or reading the books. :/

Lol it is a bit hard to follow
Alex wrote: "I'm reading Shadows on the Moon"Ooooh. I now want to read that! I'll have to see if I can find a copy somewhere. :)

I probably wouldn't like it then. I prefer simple, easy to read story lines with a few dramatic twists added in to keep it interesting. :)
Aech ~They try to control you as if they own you~ wrote: "I'm outside and it's raining so now I have to read my book on my phone... even though I really want to finish my other one..."That's always disappointing. I hope it lets up soon so you can read your other book! :)
There's a horse in my book called Frau and now I'm love with that name. :)

Sure whatever. I am all ready to debate about that but rn I'm busy and Lazy. So I'll let it slide.
lol. This made me think of the weather nowadays. :P"We arrived at Rufus and turned north, heading toward the White Street. It was named for the snowfall of '14, when three inches of fine powder covered the street's ugly asphalt. Three inches of snow was not terribly unusual for Atlanta except that it had come in May and refused to melt in the following months despite the hundred-degree heat. Three and a half years later it finally gave in and thawed during an Indian summer."
We are now midway into the sprint. How is everyone doing? :)
