Australia is one those countries on many people's wish-lists."

She also said she couldn't quite believe people in Australia were reading her books!

Thanks Juliette, it was:)

[Kathryn]

I can't sleep... Are any of the early birds about? Possibly not since it's Saturday morning! I'm starting my paranormal read for the May challenge - Bellman & Black - thank goodness for books when you can't sleep!

[Marianne]

I'm here, Kathryn, just about to start TReading....makes no difference what day of the week. Yes, when I wake up in the middle of the night, that's what I resort to.

Morning, Marianne! Have fun! I will also be on the treadmill this morning and listening to a book, but later, once the gym opens!

That's my cat every night as soon as I open her Fancy Feast tin!

Good morning, Marianne and Kathryn:)

[Marianne]

Morning, Bette, quick break from treading. I'm reading some terribly fascinating pharmacy procedure documents.....red pen in hand. But once those are done, back to my book :)

[Kathryn]

Morning, Bette! Hope the pharmacy procedures were done and dusted fairly quickly, Marianne! I fell asleep again and am up for good now. Gorgeous looking day here so far. Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!

[Marianne]

Yes, done now, onto my reward...

Glad you like it - hubby and I are/were mad max fans so when it comes to the 'small' screen we will watch it.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Morning all :) Have an excellent weekend!

[Veronica ⭐️]

Happy to see the rain has gone and the girls will be able to play netball.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.

[Carolyn]

Good Morning! Seems to have stopped raining here! Awful day yesterday.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Morning:)
I read until 1.00 this morning so then I slept in. This is very late for me.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Morning All, I was on recharge so haven't checked in until now. It's a lot brighter this morning.

[Juliette]

Oh no.
RitaSkeeter has 52 friends, Suzanne 151, Veronica 142, Julie 57, Melissa 142, Carolyn 109, Phrynne 204, Brenda 247, Sally906 has a cheer-squad of 321…
... I have(1) :(

If you can make it I recommend seeing it in the movies. It works so very well on the big screen.

Cheap Tuesday!

Maybe you have never asked anyone to be your friend:)

Are you feeling recharged now Jools? A good night's sleep usually helps ;)

Yup, more of a salty caramel with a vegemite after taste!

[Marianne]

Saw some while on my grocery shop this morning and had no trouble resisting...

I bought a block the other day to taste, then took it to work with me & handed it around the office. The majority reaction (and also mine) was "Its not awful, its just 'not quite right' if that makes sense :)

Lol, yes fully charged thanks Carolyn! ;) though I have just expended a fair bit of energy in the kitchen knocking up another Beef and Coriander Green Curry for the slow cooker from my new recipe book :P YuMmmm.
Think I might need to sit down for awhile now with a nice cuppa and my book...maybe later on a bit of chocolate..sans the Vegemite ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I just bought the new Vegemite chocolate to try. Hubby's verdict - it's not horrible but no more thanks. My verdict - I can't taste caramel (which shocked hubby) and CAN taste the vegemite but the taste goes very quickly...I did dissolve the square in my mouth like Carolyn suggested. So I'm quite happy with it, but won't be devastated not to have it:)

[Faye]

We tried that vegemite chocolate but sorry just can't get into it - and I am a big chocolate fan.
On another note very pleased with my op shop run this morning got heaps of books and I also popped into my local library to pick up a book I had reserved - could not believe my luck they had a trolley of books for sale 50 cents each - I had to relieve them of some of their books!

[Carolyn]

I think the rest of my vegemite chocolate will be going into work for people to try. Like me, my younger son quite liked it but wouldn't eat a whole bar of it and the verdict from hubby and older son was 'disgusting'.

Yuk! I trust your opinion -- I don't think I need to try it. :)

I'm with you Vicki, I really have no desire to try it and will trust the opinions of my friends here ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

My daughter just tried some - first piece not too sure; second piece - funny face and "yuk that's disgusting!" LOL

[Vicki]

Would love to have seen that. :)

No Phrynne, I haven't.

[Juliette]

Yay! I HAVE 7 FRIENDS. Thanks Vicki, RitaSkeeter, Melissa, Ashley,Suzanne, Carolyn. And B.B. Wynter who befriend me before I had a little cry.
I know this must sound lame, but do I just go around and ask people to be my friend?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

As you get to "know" people in the group, and feel you would like to be friends, click on their profile and click on the friend request button :)

Sorry Juliette. I thought you realised that you can just ask people to be friends. As Brenda says usually you do this to people who share your interests and taste in books.

Of course you "had to relieve them of some of their books!" !! Tell us what you got

when I got up this morning it was 10C here on the coast. Hubby is on a motorbike rally in Moss Vale, where I imagine it might just be a tad cooler.....

Lol! Don't know if I'll be getting one yet! I haven't seen my family yet as hubby is off cycling with his Sunday morning group and my boys are sleeping off their late night. Enjoying the peace and quiet with a cup of coffee and the weekend mags.
