Weekends currently seem to be Countdown to Line of Duty
Happy Easter to everybody celebrating it today
Going to have a go at compiling a list of all the #books I’ve read since I got an e-reader
It’s something to do. :)
Somewhat less scary than the previous book ( although the conjunction reminds me of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies)…. this was probs the first time I’ve enjoyed Jane A.
Not sure why
I’ve had a long-standing fascination with both football and impressionists, and, for reasons that might or might not become apparent this is an appropriate book to start the list on
Anyway, it was fun
Flashman is the bully from Tom Brown, and the basis of Flasheart in Blackadder
If you don’t mind the pseudo-19th century attitudes & politics of it (and I don’t in this context) and the idea of a whole book in a voice like Flasheart doesn’t appall, then these are a laugh
A scary book. Could be described as somewhere between Lee Child and Steven King, although that might well be a bit lazy
Given the hard-boiled American-Ness I was surprised to discover the writer is from Ireland
Easter eggs > Easter cards
It’s not inappropriate language when you’re losing

My word of the day today is ‘wry’.

My word of the day today is ‘stooge’.
I jogged around the back of Churchfields earlier
There was a glorious smell coming from the bakery - I felt like I was basically inhaling Hot Cross Buns
If I was an estate agent I’d like to go on Homes Under the Hammer and mix it up a bit by giving the rental value ‘per lunar month’
Or maybe per quarter turn of the Year’s Wheel
" I would fall back on the idiom that if you believe he’s done a good job, then I have a bridge to sell you – except, of course, Boris Johnson does always literally have a bridge to sell to you"
My word of the day today is ‘mellifluous’.
