I live in the UK so we don’t really get the extremes of weather other countries get so I feel a bit cheeky saying this but, god it’s hot! Woke up so many times last night trying to sleep in 27 degree heat. Windows open, covers off and it’s still so warm. I love it…
When the Kindle was released it was to spell the end of the book. I joined the revolution and got one, although I never intended to get rid of my books. I loved the fact that I could have dozens of books on the one small device, it’s easy to take places. The first one…
Friends is one of my favourite shows of all time, when it was first out in the UK I accidentally flicked to the channel it was on about 30 seconds into the show. I was hooked from there. Occasionally I will have friend that will say its only ok… deluded people, the fact that it…

I have an impressive collection of “how to” books and every time I am out and I see a new one I will invariably buy it. I flick through them and add it tot he shelf. As part of the drive to actually do something now I am going to work through them. Maybe this…

The Harry Potter series are one of my favourite books series and an undoubtedly phenomenal success written by J K Rowling, who until she shot to fame was a normal person, this is one of the things I like about her. Although the main films finished and they are now working on releasing more Fantastic…
