I bought books. From a selection of lovely shops in Wigtown... the book capital of Scotland. :)



That's awesome,I feel very happy when I buy books :D Which ones did you buy?


It's a good feeling isn't it? The books I bought were:

* Cider With Rosie, by Laurie Lee
* Lady Chatterley's Lover, by D. H. Lawrence
* Animal Farm, by George Orwell
* Selected poems, by Stevie Smith.

In the case of both Lawrence and Orwell, they are both writers I love a great deal, but these are certain works of theirs I've yet to read. :thumbup:

Laurie Lee and Stevie Smith are both writers I'm not well-versed in, but I look forward to immersing myself in their glorious world. :cloud9:


I've read Animal Farm,it was such a masterpiece maybe not as well as Nineteen Eighty Four but I really enjoyed it,and how the book actually tells the politicians in real life and events in real life with the fictional ones.Its language doesn't have any unnecessary lyrical arts(you know what i mean) and it is simple so it is really understandable for people like me.That kept me reading the book with joy even more.Normally,I had some troubles with reading the novels in original but I didn't have any in Animal Farm.

I don't know about the other ones,but Selected poems seems interesting,since it contents the poems the poet choses :wink:


Nineteen Eighty Four was indeed a terrific read, so I'm looking forward to getting on with Animal Farm. Looking at the size of the book, it probably won't take me long to read!

Well it didn't actually involve me doing anything except staring open mouthed...but boy was it WONDERFUL!! I was leaving the small road where my French house is, to wind my way down the mountain when along came about ten or twelve FERRARIS!!!! :cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9: They probably came over the pass from Itlay. I was left quivering!!

I spent most of the day in hospital :-( got a relative who is not very well, and will not get better.

Tomorrow I have to go back to work, on a "Character building duty" that I have managed to avoid for 18 months.

thanks we all have an ending

Not quite team building, it is much more boring than that. I normally like doing duties away from my normal work but this is just rubbish

Today I travelled from Lancashire to London.

Tomorrow I travel from London to Brighton.

Yesterday I went on a 7hr round trip walk. It was up in the mountains, up through pine forests, up past the tree line, about a 3.000ft(900metres) height gain. At the top was a place called 'Lac du retour'. A lake right up where there were still bits of snow, but alpine flowers all around and hot sun. In the lake were those little fish that nibble your feet (you get them in beauty salons/spa's). Had a picnic and swim here before going back down. Magic day!! I'll post some pics when Im back.
