September Library Book Photo

 A lovely collection of books that I'd reserved were on the mobile library for me this week.

The new Robert Harris which is sure to be good, also here is the only one of the dozens of Donna Leon's books that I've not read. The book by Rob Rinder is his second and I enjoyed the first so this should be equally readable. I've previously read Lara Maiklems other book about mudlarking on the Thames. Hope this new one is good too.


The other two above are 'looking at' books rather than reading but I'm interested to see what recipes Hugh FW comes up with.

Below is the latest Lissa Evans book, her previous novels have all been very good and another BLCC crime story reprinted from 1932.




Below are four books with Autumn in their titles for my Reading The Seasons challenge, apart from the Agatha Christie I'm not sure about these. I read some of Leslie Cookman's books in the past and stopped as they are all more or less the same and very silly. The other two might be OK - I shall see. 


Should keep me out of mischief now the painting is finished.

Back Tomorrow

Stop Press!

 All four walls are done, the room looks clean and lighter with the almost-white instead of grey. It's miles away from perfect but will be OK . I didn't do the ceiling as it looked fine as it was. There is just some skirting board left to do today.

Curtains are back up, some furniture is back in it's right places, now I need BiL to spare me half an hour to do the fixings for the bookshelves. They need attaching to the wall at the top to keep them safely upright.

Then all I have to do is refill the cabinet and the bookshelves. I shall weed a few things out when I do the cabinet, some bits and pieces haven't been used for several years. 

Back Soon
