Well. Having coffee with mum and the in-laws yesterday we were discussing the book I am reading (EC's The WInter Mantle). I was saying how Judith went to Elstow (we lived in the next village when I was growing up, and my aunt has lived there since marrying as a young girl....she is now in her 90's!). Mum sat there, looked at me and asked if I remember the pageant we did at school. I WAS ABOUT 7!! Bits of it I remember. She asked if I remembered who I played. Nope. SHe made me a lovely gown she said. Nope. I played Judith she said.....
Dont know if this should be on the worst thing board as it may mean I am loosing my marbles!

Sitting outside in the sunshine this afternoon. OK, I was wearing a fleece top but it was so mild that I could easily have sat there in a t-shirt. After the summer that never was this was a welcome change. I was reading the latest book to review and allowed myself an early glass of wine while the OH walked to the supermarket. Oh bliss!

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Lovely birthday dinner for the Daughter and son-in-law (she conveniently married someone only three days older than she so we celebrate them together.) Planned the baby shower for the Daughter-in-law and the girls overruled bossy eldest son on color for the baby's room and arranged a painting party. Youngest son got promotion on new job. Actually paid Dad back on an unemployment-time loan.
A wonderful evening, all around.
