Being in my car and watching the rainfall is a lot better than getting out my umbrella and going into work.

I love watching rainfall. I can drift in my mind and write the next scene. Thanks Lisa.
I'm fairly new to goodreads and I'm having trouble manipulating around and finding my place. I write romance/mystery. Romance is story driven not sex driven regarding any sensual/sexy scenes. Any suggestions from the crowd as to what I need to do first? I clicked on add cover so you can see my first book. I hope it comes through.
Rebecca, do first for what? You may have more luck asking more specific question in a romance writers group instead or a romance reading one.

Daughter and grandchildren have just spent the week with me. Have also been ill with a mild, flu-like illness, which somewhat hampered my running around on wind-swept beaches and after bicycles doing many circuits of Torquay seafront.
Happy Easter everyone. I will have a quiet one, hopefully. A large chocolate rabbit has been left behind by mistake by visitors and is being nibbled at for its medicinal value.
...so, I wish I could say your overuse of pronouns is confusing and your modifiers are misplaced and you don't use apostrophes correctly (or at all), but I don't know this person and there was no request for help.
Just got back for a swim, Mum is making me jacket potato with cheese for lunch before she goes to work. Dreadful weather out there.
Abigail wrote: "What's jacket potato?"It's a baked potato with its skin on and very tasty too. What do you call them in the US?
It has just started to rain here and I was expecting sunshine so :(We lit our coal fire last night and will light it again tonight. That will just have to be our replacement sun for the moment! I read somewhere that sitting in the sun or by a coal/wood fire lowers blood pressure.
Carol, we just call it a potato. :)Maybe baked potato. Do you slather butter and sour cream on yours?

Usually it's cheese or butter. Have never had sour cream on it.
Our local library started their summer reading program yesterday! My daughter is excited and so I am. They have some sweet baskets that you get to put your name in to win... and all you have to do is READ a book for 30 minutes and fill out a card saying what the book was about.
(the teens get to do a lot more than the adults but I am pretty excited about the baskets) Last year I won a basket full on knitting supplies for my mom.

This sounds like a really awesome idea for a reading program.
I think libraries are looking for lots of ways to 'win customers' as there is so much competition now with the internet.
I visited Agatha Christie's house at Greenway on Sunday. I had been there once before at a Xmas, so it was lovely to see it in the summer. It is on the bank of the River Dart and the setting is spectacular.
I try to visit our library about every month or so. I would love it if they had activities/challenges for teens and adults but all I have ever seen is book reading for children.
This is too funny! Comparing (side by side) the old cheesiest covers with what they'd look like using real people! http://www.boredpanda.com/simple-peop...

I forgot to bring my lunch to work today. :(But that's okay, because there was leftover food from a weekend party! \o/!

Oh, yum! Good stuff, right? Chips, dips, cake.....
