Thanks Vicki. I'm pretty sure you all know how to play nicely:)

[Vicki]

Wishing you all a great weekend. Happy reading!

[Angela]

Thanks Vicki! Super cute! I wish I had that much energy ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! Vicki, love it!! Reminds me of my granddaughters and all their energy;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Only ten Michael;)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

My son was like that when he was little only even more so!

I'm happy it's Friday - today has worn a little thin...! But I don't have the energy to be doing that - just watching him makes me tired!!

I'm going to see The Hundred Foot Journey tomorrow. I haven't read the book, The Hundred-Foot Journey, and had never even heard of it until I heard about the movie! However the trailer reminds me of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (which was a brilliant movie, but the book, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, was very ordinary), so that makes me a little reluctant to seek out the book in case it is not terribly good...

Have a wonderful time Kathryn:) I'm hope you'll enjoy it...glad Friday hasn't got many hours left if it hasn't been too good to you:)

Oh, it's been OK - I just feel slightly wrung-out!! Nothing that curling up with a good book won't fix :-)

I want to watch 'The hundred foot journey' too - heard Helen Mirran being interviewed on the radio about it today. I also loved The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

I too am humming and having over whether I should read the book The Hundred-Foot Journey before I see the movie or not

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I read about that one. It sounds interesting. I am going to see The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared next Wednesday. I have to go into the city to see it as it seems to be on limited release. But I loved the book and the trailer looks great.

You'll have to let us know what you think Phrynne...should be good!

Congratulations Phrynne. I'm sure you'll have fun and enjoy yourself and do a great job. Clearly I have not been paying attention nor checking in often enough here!!!

I don't think it's being released here in Brisbane for a couple of weeks. Not sure whether to go and see it or not - I did enjoy the book, and the trailer looks like it might be well done... But I also want to go and see God's Not Dead which is on next weekend and it's only on for a short time, so if I go to The One Hundred Year Old Man, that will make 3 movies in 3 weeks!!...

I'll be interested to see what you think of it, Phrynne!

Three movies in three weeks sounds fine to me! I'll certainly let you know what "The 100 Year Old Man" is like!

[B the BookAddict]

Good morning, Early Birds:)

[Marianne]

Morning Bette, glad to see you got over your virus ;-)

[B the BookAddict]

Quite a sight to see in my backyard yesterday. Two large crows very enthusiastically trying to fly off with Moses' big marrow bone!

Moses was out the back door in a shot; first bit of 'the old Moses' that I've seen since we lost Bella .

It appears to be only limited release. In Sydney it is showing at Dendy Cinemas but you may not have those in Adelaide.

That's nice about Moses - hope you are feeling a bit better too.

Good Morning All, bit of a pea souper here this morning ⊙.⊙

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

We had some fog earlier but it has gone now. Looks like another nice day. I have the lawn sprinkler on though because we need rain so badly!

It's still quite wet here Phrynne though I don't know if it's from the drizzle or the fog....it's still very white and soupy out there!

Nope. Sun shining here and dry as a bone. At least I will get the washing dry:)

[Sally906]

Is very smoky here this morning. Was a cool night - got down to 18/19 - but as it is so dry and windy there has been some big grass fires around and the smoke all seemed to have got trapped overnight. It should clear soon once the wind picks up along with the temperatures. I have a load of washing on and am hoping it will clear before it is time to hang out.

Three movies in three weeks is a lot for me! I'm more of a three movies in six months (if not more) kind of person. Then again, if the One Hundred Year Old Man is only on at Dendy cinemas I probably won't be worrying about it. But it looks like it might be going to be on at Hoyts here in Brisbane...

I think your minimum is my forecast maximum! Was 0 this morning, and is now 11.9 apparently. Have mowed and am drinking coffee while watching two cats take turns chasing each other through the house.

[Carolyn]

Fog has finally blown off here (inner west Sydney) and the sun is out. I had to go grocery shopping this morning with my lights on it was so thick. Hubby's just left to go to the airport for a flight to Brazil so I hope he's not too delayed with all the disruption out there due to the fog.

Good to hear Moses is getting back to his old self Bette.Hope you're doing better too.

How fantastic. I'd loved to have seen that. :)

[Vicki]

This Early Bird slept in this morning. Mind you, it was after midnight when I went to bed. Anyway, that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. ;-P

Good to see him responding Bette.

My poor dog had a disagreement through the fence with the dog next door this morning. Now he has a bleeding nose and has to stay in the kitchen so he doesn't bleed on the carpet!

Oh dear! How on earth did he get hurt through the fence??

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

There was a loose paling and I think he pushed his nose through - he either got bitten or hurt himself on the fence itself. He's sore and sorry now though.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Poor thing:( I hope he heals quickly..

Poor puppy. Their noses are very sensitive as well.

Poor puppy, good day to stay inside for extra cuddles.

Hey guys, and gals, when you get an uncorrected proof, why is that? That's my question for the day ;)

[Marianne]

Suzanne wrote: "Hey guys, and gals, when you get an uncorrected proof, why is that? That's my question for the day ;)"

One reason would be so you can't on-sell it and make a huge profit, because you are paying nothing for it.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Suzanne wrote: "Hey guys, and gals, when you get an uncorrected proof, why is that? That's my question for the day ;)"

An uncorrected proof is pre-publication, the books the publishers send out for early reviews. They are marked as Uncorrected Proof and not for sale.

Thanks ladies, I thought it was something like that, just the word 'uncorrected' threw me..

[Sally906]

There also could be grammatical errors or the printing a bit off - so it wouldn't be fair to mention that in a review.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Just back from the movies where I saw a trailer for the movie of The Maze Runner. It looked pretty good!

Which movie did you see today, Phrynne? I loved, loved, loved The Hundred Foot Journey which I saw this morning! That is a movie I would happily rewatch again and again!!
