Return of the Jedi
well no sun here and it a little colder, at a nippy 12° !!!!Currently have the heating on and cosying up on the couch after giving the dog a de-flea 😷
Thank God for Johnson's tablets, they are the bomb!!
Haha!! Good times!!!Our little dude got groomed yesterday. It had been so long - we hardly recognized him when we picked him up.
When the wind isn't blowing, it's not too bad on the bleachers...says the woman with the 5 layers wrapped in a blanket.
Yeah Clive is going to have a bath tomorrow, that includes 20 minutes of chasing him around the house trying to catch him lol.I'm having an Andi Arndt marathon, just finished
and now starting
which is her and Sebastian York narrating!!!😍🔥💖
😂😂😂
has anyone read Anansi Boys? I'm having some problems with it and I'm looking for someone who's read the book to answer a couple questions. I think I'll just have to put it to one side and start something different til I figure it out
Today was family BBQ day, so I have spent most of the day out in the sun and reading. It is about 87° here, so I will be a little pink when I get in later on.My pup hates baths, the little guy acts like we are murdering him or something.
Having a quiet day at home after a long shift at work yesterday.Last week discovered a Robin was nesting amongst my books on a top shelf of my book case today noticed a chick has hatched so cute. lol just can't close the window to that room now.
Finished
A charming whimsical story.
Started to read
Hope you all have a great weekend
after my problems with anansi boys I'm moving on to something else. I'm trying a court of thrones and roses and I'm powering on with Bill bryson. sorry I'm not linking the books. I don't know how on the phone

I've bought American Gods, which is set in the same world as Anansi Boys. I'm really hoping I don't have similar issues as I hate paying for a book that I can't get through!
K-Terror you are a reading machine!!!!
I LOVED American Gods! it was brilliant. anansi boys is very different so far. It's the idea of using god powers to try and steal someone's girlfriend that's just sitting wrong with me. it feels creepy
Ha, what a waste of god powers! Surely there is something better they could be used for!
Sighhhhh.....Still on my Andi Arndt kick, love her narrating, now starting
😍😘🔥
I'll have to look out for her narrations. I love finding a good narrator! I love Juliet Stevenson for English classics, she's definitely my go-to narrator for those.
she's great, she narrated all of the Stage Dive series

V-Nerd or Emma, I submitted The glass Jar, however the page count is not popping up on the spreadsheet. Here is the edition I read:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... with 336 pages

:) Monday's and Tuesdays I work on a lot of standard reports so I've got my buds in while I'm knocking them out. So far this challenge, my favorite books have been:

Mine look all populated now though. Thanks ladies!

Finished
an historical mystery set in Wales . Rated 4 star. I believe its planned to be the first of a series
Arrg. I forgot we needed to list our finished books. I was just putting them on my shelf. Will update in a minute.
Oh, never mind!! I guess they are there. I have the book Circle from the library now, and am planning on reading it and answering the questions. Will it still count?
I'm still plodding on with my two books. I love them both. Bill bryson is brilliant and interesting and court of thorns and roses is lovely. I can't stop reading it everywhere
everyone loves that series but me lol

Nope. gonna start it when i finished 'Court of Thorns and Super Long Book Titles'. Shouldnt be long now though, I cleared 10% on my lunch break but i did have to return to the office on a book hangoverWhat does everyone do for a living? I'm a purchaser for a soft drink company. Its quite fun. The factory is through the office window and all the lads are super funny. The job is strangely satisfying when everything runs well
I'm a nurse working in a Minor Injury Unit of a small community hospital . Mostly love my job very varied can be seeing and treating patients from 1 to 100.Presently going to Uni twice a week as studying to get my Emergency Nurse Practitioner qualification
I work in a laundry so my days are filled with ironing and folding but its a fun work
I work in a clinical trials research company, I don't do the exciting stuff lol I am the administrator/receptionist, but it is very interesting
I work as an analyst at a vacation exchange company. My favorite days are my Mondays & Tuesdays because I can usually listen to audio books while updating my standard reports.

wow collectively we do some interesting shit! I wish I was allowed headphones at work. they help me concentrate but my boss says no.
we had an hour long chat tonight about how he wants me to come up with a three year plan and help me achieve it. considering we've barely spoken before this is good. however I can't go into work tomorrow and as him hope many babies can I possibly have in three years. (I got married last August and I've been baby crazy my whole adult life, I have an army of nieces and nephews and I adore them)
I'm a public servant at the Department of Defence, just in an admin role.

weirdly enough I used to work for the same company as K in the UK about 15 years ago, and she came there once, I wonder if we ever spoke, that would be so weird!
I work for the City at the Water Department.I coordinate with clerical, Field crew, and management...lucky not very many customers. Majority of my job is data entry, so I get to listen to audio most of the day.

I would love a job where I could listen to audio, that would be awesome!

We're heading out of town right now for some lacrosse games. My daughter plays for her HS team and they have about 6 games over the weekend. It's pretty chilly here for May (45-50 degrees) but just happy to see sun!! It's rained pretty much 24/7 for the last week.
