Re: IPad

I think maybe Santa may be bringing one in his sack this year. Trouble is, I am bad enough on my laptop, I will never be off one of those--it would have to go on holiday with me. A friend of ours got one at apple and they then spent an hour and a half giving him training and setting it up as he want...

Re: Book club

Mine hasn't arrived yet, so I am still on with Vanishing Acts, and still not 100% sure of what to make of it. I usually only read at night for an hour or so and it tends to take a bit of remembering what it's about, not a good sign that.

Re: Book club

Yes you can order it from Lancashire Libraries-- are you a member? if so you just need to log on with your membership number and off you go. There is a cost of 60p, I think, if it has to come from another library.

Re: Book club

I'll let you know when mine arrives at the library. Do we wait until everyone finishes before reviewing? Probably a daft question that.

Re: SO, WHAT IS A CAT?

There was a program on tv many years ago about some cats on a Yorkshire farm. They were studying how far they roamed. The male cats went far and wide, the females stayed within a small circle of the farm and never went beyond it.

Re: Book club

Looks interesting. I'll see if I can get it from our library.
Been on line and ordered it, there are 23 in Lancashire Libraries and all are either out or in transit at the moment---seems popular, so hopefully it will be good.

Wendy, may get that on next library visit. I like an autobiography. Have you read Richard Bransons?

Re: Book club

I think you have it spot on Wendy, quite a disturbing book which I found it difficult to put down. It had more twists and turns than I thought possible, I felt it read as though it had been written on the go without a plot, and then out of nowhere another twist.

Re: Book club

I haven't time to get another book to read whilst away, so sorry Sue it will have to be this for me. I know what you are saying about them but they do keep me gripped.
Have you read any by Mary Higgins Clark?------ another author with a lot of books I find worth reading.

Re: Book club

I have got Jodi Picoult's Perfect Match to read whilst on holiday if you fancy that. I will be back to review it in about a fortnight. I have read a few of her others and all are very good.

Judging from Izzy's coat on the photograph he looks a very healthy cat.

Re: READ ANY GOOD BOOKS LATELY?

Panbiker, just collected Tank Twins from the library for O.H. to read. On a quick flit through it looks very interesting. It shows Pegasus Bridge, my Dad was in 6th Airborne and parachuted there, so it has much added interest.

Re: SO, WHAT IS A CAT?

Oooo Chrissy these lean mean hunting machines don't like to be kept in the dog cage. Ours have been there in the past and the fun usually starts after a couple of days. Our newly three legged cat could make a good jail break after three days.
