Ooh Chinese how lovely I am apparently having stodgy pancakes at the dragons (if I go). Did you finish the book? I am dying to know what you thought of it before I send it off. I changed the synopsis to match the book, thought it wise because I digressed from the original plan!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) I have finished it and thought it was brilliant. I just need to type up my findings but as you have done it twice, you may have already done them by now. Will send them over to you on monday as they are at home at present.

Wow, thanks did you guess the ending or did it take you by surprise? Killing Malcolm, Mustapha and mother and letting Gavin take over as serial killer? I wasn't sure about that I wasn't even sure if I was going to let Megan live until the bitter end! I had two endings in mind.

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments I just read something pretty amazing okay this guy is after selling a computer programme to help people improve their eyesight without resorting to wearing glasses.

He goes on to say that glasses actually make your eyesight worse because your eyes learn to rely on the glasses.

I proved his theory years ago, the doctor sent me for an eyetest because I had been suffering from headaches. The optician said I needed glasses I took the prescription but didn't have it filled straight away as I had an appointment with another specialist for problems with my nose and sinuses. He recommeded the equivalent of Chinese torture, a sinus wash out! Painful believe me but my headaches went away so I never actually filled this prescription. two years later I had another eye test and guess what the optician said my eyesight was now 20/19 and prescribed yet another pair of glasses which I never ordered either! At 45 years old I had my eyes tested and guess what my eyes were still at 20/19 the prescription according to him was so small it wasn't worth making!

I am now heading towards another birthday and 10 years have passed and my eyesight is still good all thanks to a sinus washout and being stubborn!

I think this guy could be right we are being brainwashed into wearing corrective lenses when all we need to do are exercises keep the muscles in our eyes in training!

Right pt exercises for eyes next on the google search for everyone and SOS Save our Sight! (Not to mention loads of dosh too!)

Try it what have you got to lose, you can always put your glasses back on if you feel it doesn't work!

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Morning hun

How was your weekend?

We didn't do much just chilled out around the house and watched television, not much else to do with the wet miserable weather.

I may take Sophie for a walk in the woods later but not tomorrow or Wednesday or Saturday Sunday neither too dangerous they Chasse the three days Tuesday too this week as it is a Jour Ferriere All Saints Day is a religous holiday and I don't fancy getting shot!

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Anyone around?

I wanted peace, my house is peaceful, and warm and the only spirits around this morning seem to be confined to the drinks cabinet.

I sometimes wish they would pick on someone else! I had the touchy feely spirit visit last night, waited by the stairs for me to go up to bed. Anyone know a good exorcist?

Fine, bit of a ghost town around here we need a few more English in here so we can have someone to talk to in our time zone! We are asleep when the Americans are awake and vice versa!

Hope it's going well. I'm sad I just read an article on a little 8 year old girl murdered at the weekend in a sleepy village in France. She was suffocated, sexually assaulted and then stabbed by a 73 year old previously convicted paedophile who lived nearby.

Bring back the death penalty is all I have to say, I shed tears for this poor little child who died needlessly at the hands of a monster and who looks like my little girl is almost the same age as my little girl. I am never letting her out of my sight, not even for a second.

Couldn't you sleep? Sorry I have been conspicuous by my absence with Jo and the family here at the weekend and my bloomin computer the fast one has died on me! I am going to have to wait a few days before taking it to be mended too a real pain that. Too much month syndrome thanks to the French Bank who don't understand the meaning of the word overdraft at a level which they set and then they let you depasse the limit and then pull the rug from under you and leave you to try and fight your way out of it. I am changing my bank the English bank is no problem just the French Banker with a W! I won't spend much time on line because I might be tempted to put chuggaboom through the window its so slow! I can still pick up my emails at least. must fetch my washing in before I can't see!

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Yes when I can get on the computer after I prize sophie off the free games and when people stop using my place as a bar restaurant leaving me to clean up after them twice daily.

But at least the house is moving the lounge is taking shape and the bedroom and bathroom downstairs too. work is being hampered by lack of materials, we are waiting for big pieces of stone for the window lintels and they used up all the sand! I'll take some photos next time I pass and put them up on my photos!
How's the back?
