Wolves are top of the Championship league and Reading are 2nd - 4 points below us.   A lot stands on tonights game  - we need to win!  Even if we lose we will still be top - by 2 points.  However if Reading lose and Birmingham beat Derby (also tonight) then Reading could drop to 3rd....

I'll be there tonight and just can't wait!

I found the perfect  ( Read more... )

I came across this little fellow...

I had to test him out of course - to see if the PC had the correct filtering!

It is freezing in here - literally!   The library wasn't due to open tody so no heating is on -  it is on timer so only managed to get one very small heater to work & it's made very little difference.  At Benson (in Oxfordshire) last ( Read more... )

With a camera I had for Christmas - my old one broke a year or more ago and I've been using my phone since then,  but it just isn't the same!

Kate Harrison announced at the BookCrossing Convention in London that there is nothing wrong with Chick-Lit and she's right - sometimes it's exactly what I need to read and today was one of those days!

This book ring is underway at last, after Linda sent  some of us  pre-publication copies her wonderful third novel Star Gazing specifically for  rings,  I feel really guilty about the length of time it's taken me to get this one going!  Currently with Geoff but will soon make it's way out to everyone else,  since I know he's read it!

To try to make ( Read more... )

The musical!  .....it's had the most dreadful reviews but my mother already had tickets so we went along with her theatre club to see it last week in London.

Trevor Nunn is the director and I've seen great things from him in the past so I really didn't think it would be too bad!

Well...it wasn't quite as bad as the reviews I'd read - probably ( Read more... )

I wonder if anyone is actually interested in this game?  I'm not sure I could even be bothered with watching it...however I suppose I ought to fly the flag on this post at least!

If we'd made it into ( Read more... )

........I've opened a Facebook account!    I needed an account to do some testing on the public pcs in our libraries but...wow!   it's so addictive!

I love it!

I've discovered the Open University network, which I've joined  - and found that we already have a group for my local OU Students Association in Oxford, Abingdon and Witney (I seem to remember ( Read more... )

Well that's what it felt like today!   Torrential rain from the early hours....my 40 min drive into work took 1.5 hours...

.....but the rain didnt stop!  It carried on all day.
