I usually check in after dinner and sometimes there are quite a few people around. Nothing good on TV that we're missing is there?

Just made a well earned cuppa. First day back at work today after having two weeks off. My poor back and elbow are feeling quite sore at the moment I need another holiday :)

I'm halfway through All the Light We Cannot See. It's really good so it would have be something extra good on TV to distract me.

That does sound good, Brenda. And I see the author lives in Napier, New Zealand - I could have walked past her on the street about a month ago!!

I'm quite looking forward to meeting author Loretta Hill tomorrow when she talks about her latest release The Maxwell Sisters - should be an excellent couple of hours!

Sally906 | 89 comments Good morning everyone - lovely day to not be at work!!!

Trouble is I am at work. Well having breakfast - work doesn't officially start for another 45 minuites. I get here early because hubby drops me off on his way into town.

Still - it is a lovely day regardless because I am alive, breathing and awake :)

I was so tired yesterday that I had an early night last night - after dozing in front of the TV through MKR - my current favourite reality show. Actually it is the only one I watch - LOL

Oh dear - first days back after holidays are the pits - I try to cheer myself up by telling me that I am saving up for my next holiday :)

I have to be honest though, it doesn't always work :(

It was lovely! She was 20 minutes late having driven to us from Singleton (quite a long way away) and up to Singleton from Sydney this morning! From Perth yesterday!! On to Woy Woy tonight, then a few places; Brisbane, Bundeburg..... the first time she has been over on the East Coast for a book tour:)

I think the Iron Age is a little too far back in history for me. Thanks for thinking of me, anyway:D

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) Speaking of MKR, is anyone watching he cringe-worthy offering by Channel 10, I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here? The ads are enough to put me off. Hoping it is not sold overseas!
