Great weather he..."

Hope the leak can be fixed Michael!

Wow sounds like a big job! Thankfully it was caught before bad damage happened (like your ceiling fell in!)

I live in an old house where we once had an undetected leak in the shower which meant that the timbers in the wall were always wet. In turn this meant our wall became a delicacy for termites. Our little shower leak became thousand of dollars of repair:)

Temperature here has rocketed up to 5.

Oh dear Phrynne! That's awful:(

Could do without that Valerie.

I've realised that I'm lucky that I have a hands on partner, we had a water leak in our second bathroom that he built (!!) so with tradesmen friends and doing the work himself it was a relatively easy fix, though sat undone 18 months....

My book related banter is that I fiddled around all afternoon with my bookshelf, adding books to GR, maybe I should start reading so I can get through them ;) or in fact, doing things that should be done around here!!

Thanks, everyone, for your comments about Bella. I'm finding it really tough going at the moment hence no comments in Goodreads. But, like Arnie says: "I'll be back"

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

And you'll be welcome Bette :) We've missed you and our thoughts are with you. Take care and big hugs. xx

I just found out the film of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared is opening in August. Think I might go though I cannot imagine whether it will be good as a film or not.

I hope you're not disappointed Phrynne...it'll be good to hear your thoughts though:) You can be our guinea pig;)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Me too. It isn't a book which I would have immediately thought of as being film material!

I hadn't heard that this was being made into a movie. And I can't quite imagine it as a movie either... You'll have to report back, Phrynne!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Michael!

OK, that does look funny! Except it felt like they tried to cram too much in and all the clips were cut too short and I could hardly get the gist of what was happening - and that was having read the book! I hope the movie is a bit slower :-) But I think I might go... Thanks for that, Michael.

Thursday! Good morning, Early Birds. Enjoy your day. :)

Morning Vicki (and Bette??) I'm off to walk then off to work. At least I get to come home early today as I did a late yesterday.

Hi there, EBs!

I haven't been able to read for the last week and have been watching the BBC crime series Silent Witness. But it's started to scare the pants off me and given me nightmares so it will be back to the books today.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Good Morning early birds, I'm watching the opening ceremony of the commonwealth games ;)

Great to see you back, Bette. I love Silent Witness. :)

How is it Julie? :o)

Still at the commentary stage Angela, but they are showing us around Glasgow and it looks lovely.

Michael wrote: "No worries Kathryn. If anything i think the preview gave to much away so i should of added spoilers."

I didn't think so, but I'll have to watch it again to see!

Thanks for the link to the trailer Michael. It looks really good! I am really looking forward to it now.

Oh I'd love to be there! I'll bet the weather is shot better than dreary Melbourne at the moment.

It's been a good show Angela...I'm only watching it on tele! Gorgeous little Scottish Terriers leading out the flag bearers! Ohhhh so sweet :0)

[Angela]

Awww cute! I wonder if they will replay it! What is your favourite event??

[B the BookAddict]

I'm a bit behind in the news but saw today:

Australian novelist Liam Davison has been identified as being on Flight MH17 with his wife.

Oh no Bette, that is so sad:( So many terrible things are being reported about this tragic event...

Thanks for sharing.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I just found these beautiful words from Hannah Richell at husband Matt's memorial on 11th July and wanted to share.

So sad... my heart is breaking for all those families :( Thanks for letting us know Bette.

[Dale]

Very sad for so many people.

Everytime I think of the MH17 victims and their loved ones, my chest tightens. Such a pointless loss of innocent lives...

So sad for such a young family. Hannah Richell ' s words brought tears to my eyes. Sad new about Liam Davison and his wife as well, and all those people senselessly killed on MH17. So many lives cut short.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Another possible tragedy

Why do they have to change things unnecessarily??! Why do they have to change her children from 3 to 2 and why is she already divorced instead of still married but fighting and almost divorced? I know there isn't as much time in movies as books so some things have to go, but I can't see how changing the number of her children or her marriage status could really make a movie shorter... Sorry - I know I'm a purist when it comes to movies and books!!

Morning, Early Birds. I'm so late this morning I've written myself a 'please excuse Bette note'!
