Time travelling through mundanity. (reading group)

I have spent the last few days catching up on all those jobs that didn't get done while I was lollygagging! See, I do occasionally do something. Simon and I went to Stevenage on Thursday to take Dad to the hospital. To cut a long story short he is now going to have a prostate operation which will be about October time. We had a good day with them. We cleared out lots of old junk and furniture from their conservatory which pleased Dad. Mum desperately wanted to hang on to an old drop leaf table, because "they do use it occasionally and it's useful to have". This wasn't born out by the cobwebs on it! Anyway it finally went to the dump.

We went for a meal with them in the evening, to a pub called the Plume of Feathers at Little Wymondley. I am pleased to report that after a bad experience there some years back we had a lovely meal this time. They do excellent steak and kidney pie. Yummy. xx

Today I have been trying to persuede Simon to clear out his wardrobe and his side of the bedroom. He managed to get as far as tidying the books and magazines by his side of the bed and threw out about 3 things!!! He was so stressed by throwing something out that he has gone to his barn. I think the barn is the equivalent of Simons cave!!!! (reference to "Men are from Mars, Women from Venus!!)

Speaking of books, I have just finished reading the Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It was lent to my by Coralie who said I must read it. WHY??? I found it most confusing and quite weird. I can't see why it has had so many good reveiws. It jumps around all over the place until you dont know where you are. If anyone out there has read it, then let me know what you think. Coralie cried at the ending!!

I love reading and have to read every single day. I will read anything at all but prefer "easy reading" stuff most of the time. I have just got a book from the library called 1001 books to read before you die! It has books from pre 1700 - 2005. I am flicking through it picking out some titles to get hold of. If anyone wants to give me their suggestions that would be great. Actually what about an online, book reading group??????????????? ANYONE??????????????

Must go books to read. I wonder if reading is a form of lollygagging?? No its educational.
