Ice’s comments from the flight paths group.

A new series from David Liss. In 18th Century London

Aside from the fresh food all is organised, purchased , wrapped and decorated. Teenage grandchildren so a little more calmer !

On Attwood, I think I appreciate the challenging ideas but struggled with the writing style.

Be patient ......... I have just finished The Testaments by Margaret Atwood.
Now back to Yorkshire M S Morris and Mr Raven Deep Into That Darkness

Hello, picking up on one theme Ann Cleeves who has a new Shetland book out The Killing Stones - also we have a new TV Shetland series (post Perez) in the UK. Of linking news I will be in "Vera" country on holiday next May.

Picking up leaves in the Garden and trying to find locations for planting garlic as I over ordered (as well as onions) and have never really been successful. 75% done and I have garlic and onions everywhere, in the fruit cage, in the ground, in pots - all wired to protect from Pigeons and Squirrels. No Vampires here tomorrow !
Hopefully in November will finally complete on the sale of Dad's house to restore some Diary time. I can then assist with marketing the group or recontacting existing members. In the mean time made Petra a moderator.

The leaves are only just turning brown, whilst the leaves of the book require some artificial light at both ends of the day.

Borrowed a book from the Pub - 2 hobbies in one

Potatoes & Rhubarb harvested here. Other items still growing, some very early

AI or not AI ideally for me not AI. Perhaps I am the dutch boy with his finger in the Dam.

Back from Spain, sadly 2 more family funerals this month. Weirdly in the garden Brussel sprouts are ready - taste trial as they are 3 months early.

Back from Spain. Still reading: The Stranger by Camilla Läckberg. Sword of Fire by Katharine Kerr and A Fortress of Grey Ice by J.V. Jones

Everyday it seems I am travelling a web ! Or is it the web ?

I am doing my best not to complain about the current heatwave we are experiencing. Have run out of rainwater for the garden.

Having finished the TV series I am now embarking on reading The Handmaid's Tale - it's normally the other way round for me.

Where did half the year go !!

Hot in the UK, added some Dystopian fiction Black Feathers by Joseph D'Lacey

Happy Birthday (24 hours past !) M

Much crime fiction open at present: Mari Hannah withThe Longest Goodbye, and back in 13th Century Cassandra Clark : The Red Velvet Turnshoe.

There are too many coincidences in my family ! Wading through admin but now at home, so getting some time in the garden and return of hobbies.
