Glad you're feeling better too, Regina :)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Yes Regina, glad you are feeling better too! I think what you and Marina need is a nice quiet spot for some total R&R with a good book in one hand and the beverage of your choice in the other! ;D

[Marina]

Ooh, Julie, now you're talking!

Ahhh see, just what the Dr. Ordered eh ;D

[Marianne]

Marina, and Regina, I hope you are both feeling better soon.

I'm covering school library books again. This is where I need audiobooks I think. What's a good one?!

I'm slowly getting through The Poppet and the Lune by Madeline Claire Franklin at the moment Suzanne and its really good ;)

Or if you want something a little more serious but VERY compelling, I absolutely loved Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein I read the book and listened to the audio...brilliant! Cannot recommend that one highly enough :) *Needs tissues!!

That's no good Julie. If she's crying she won't be able see what she's doing and the school library books will end up all wrinkled.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Oh!! *note to Suzanne, use plastic covers;)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

@Phrynne, dont tell Suzanne yet, but I cried buckets over this story!!
The audio version was brilliant!

[Marina]

Fighting with contact is enough to make you cry without adding sad stories to the mix! So frustrating sometimes! Will be glad when my last one goes to high school and our days of covering school books in contact will be over.

@Carolyn, how was the view this morning from the half a fridge? ;D

Well I think one of them is on my list, [book:Code Name Verity Julie, so you've steered me in the right direction, more allowable if it's on the list ;) Well actually it wasn't but what's another one, right?!

I agree, Marina. Contact and covering books was the bane of my life. They never ended up smooth and wrinkle free.

[Suz]

The school gave me a little tool, that is better than a ruler, it's a 3M scraper, good for getting all the bumps out. Also the little lesson was handy that the librarian gave me - I never thought of folding it in half before peeling the backing off!

Glad you had some helpful tools. No matter what I did it was too much for this non crafty person.LOL

[Marianne]

Is anyone interested in the Dymocks Literary Lunch featuring Kate Grenville on 8th April? See https://www.dymocks.com.au/Events/Sto...
I want to go, not sure if my sister will go with me, if she doesn't, someone can take her place at the discounted price of $80 instead of $95 (2 course meal, all drinks). Of course she may choose to come.....I will post here again when she lets me know.

[Marianne]

she will be talking about her latest book One Life: My Mother's Story

[Suz]

I'll come Marianne, I was just thinking I needed to check out the upcoming events.. Gives me some time to read her memoir.

[Suz]

The price has gone up, I really should become a member!

[Suz]

Anna Bligh is speaking also.. A couple of weeks later. I think she's very interesting as well.

Suzanne I'll be in touch when I hear from my sister.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

They're apparently thinking about re-making Watership Down as a CGI film.

I am not a fan of this idea.

It sounds like a really bad idea!

Haha! I was half asleep this morning with my nose in a book so I forgot to look.
Has been quite foggy/ smoggy in the mornings this week so the harbour hasn't been looking so good. The half-a-fridge looks best on a bright, clear, sunny day :)

I'm so glad I don't have to do that anymore!Although I was pretty good at it by the time the last one got through Y12 :)

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Finished putting together a weights machine/home gym. Gonna get pumped.

[Carolyn]

We'll need to see the before and after pics Liam!

You get into it Liam, my daughter finished her personal training six months ago and she has had me working out, I am really getting into it now. Keep us posted of your achievements

Big thunderstorm in Sydney. Rain pouring down. No forecast on weather sites! wouldn't like to be driving now.

[Marina]

Yes, indeed! Glad I'm safe and snug at home. It's a doozy of a storm.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

So much lightning! Amazing but fun too as long as you were indoors:)

[Leonie]

Send some up here, Phrynne!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

And here please:)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

It's gone now and our temperature has dropped to 20 which is nice. Now if we could just get rid of the humidity.

Hope it heads to the Hunter.

[Dale]

Storm never came south.We got a few thunder rumbles and that was it. Not one drop of rain. Maybe it's taking a leisurely trip down the coast?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Nothing north of Sydney either - not even any thunder!

Sounds good Marianne, but unfortunately I have too many work commitments that day. Probably not a good idea to duck out for a nice lunch and a couple of glasses of wine and then have to go back for a long meeting! Will keep an eye open for other events during the year.
