I said in my original comment that it was 'easy' to do this, I meant easy (and fun) to tally my pages.. 10 000, I wonder how this will go?! Have never joined in before. My 11yo daughter laughed as she just walked past the screen and I told her what it was all about. 'How many pages do you think you'll read mum?' 'maybe 100' and to that I got a cheeky eye roll. I like Sally's virtual food suggestions a lot ;)
Mod
But Sally's wine and food suggestions are great! Wine and cheese with nibbles - coffee/tea as well:) We all will read very well;)
Yay, I'm in! Veggie pattie for this reader, please:)
......and Chocolate....plenty of Chocolate! ;)....oh and have you tried that ChocCorn?! YuuuuuM!

virtual cocktails of course, so you won't get too drunk to read....
Ok. That's good. I'll only have to do virtual exercise to burn them off.
Marianne wrote: "virtual cocktails of course, so you won't get too drunk to read...."Oh Wow, this is going to be the best party we never had!

Marianne have you had your walk yet? I'm just off to the virtual gym if you'd like to join me?

It's sooo long since I had one. I remember getting VERY drunk on Harvey Wallbangers at Uni. And I remember with great fondness a holiday (or two) on Hayman Island where I spent days by the pool reading and drinking cocktails, with the occasional dip in the water.
But actually, nowadays my system unfortunately can't handle much alcohol before I get a thumping headache (a real bummer, I used to like a drink or two...) so it's as well they will be virtual!

Just taking a break, halfway through my walk, had to hang up mum's washing in the garage.....back to the REAL treadmill and my book now.
Mod
wow I've been missing out on all the fun! Virtual food party, virtual calories (if only!) and hanging out by the pool on Hayman Island sipping cocktails ..... sounds like you are having a virtual girls day out!

Hehe!! Still in bed, working my phone this morning. Finished my book last night so thought I'd get some emails sent, messages checked etc while still enjoying the snuggly warmth :)

Let the fingers do the walking ;)
Well, that was a fun party! But we need to save some virtual energy for the Readathon!
Marianne wrote: "Well, that was a fun party! But we need to save some virtual energy for the Readathon!"Pssst....Just between you and me Marianne...I think Brenda might have had a few premature virtual Toblerone cocktails and couldn't get out of bed this morning! ;)

Yes, but I think I'll have something stronger than a Toblerone :D

Anyone have a recipe for a Toblerone cocktail? Sounds like my sort of drink....
Mod
All virtual suggestions taken on board - I will ponder then pounce on reading weekend - watch this space!!
Oh man I can get a recipe for Toblerone cocktail and book recommendations, so I'm in the right place afterall....!
Mod
Ingredients
60ml Baileys
60ml Kahlua
60ml Frangelico
60ml crème de cacao
600ml carton pouring cream
2 cups ice
to decorate
honey
toasted almonds, chopped
100g Toblerone shavings
Preparation method
To decorate glasses, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of honey and add one teaspoon of Toblerone shavings per glass, shake glass around so chocolate sticks to honey.
Place alcohols, cream and ice in a blender and blend until well combined. Pour into prepared glasses.
Decorate with extra Toblerone shavings and almonds.
Enjoy!!

Oh I can't wait for this virtual party! O+O
Ok maybe we need to start making a list of what everyone's bringing to this party. You can make it as extravagant and calorie laden as you like :)While we are on Toblerone, I'll bring a Toblerone cheesecake.
Wow! Did I just read 600ml of cream?! O_O
Mod
Yes, but don't forget, that's not one glass full!!! Or I wouldn't drink all of that at once anyway;)
Valerie wrote: "Wow! Did I just read 600ml of cream?! O_O"VIRTUAL Cream... O#O
Mod
