Two Happy Faces at My Back Door

I need More Practice

I am very rusty in using blogger will need a refresher course to help me.

Just an update

I need to keep this blog active, so I am just writing a short note.

Time Time Time

Need to find time for blogs.

About Time

Must find time to keep my blogs up to date.

Baby Sitting

3 more sleeps. Then off they go back to their mother.

10 days of mayhem. At the same time as looking after two little grand daughters aged 3 & 5 I am trying to learn and practice for a humorous speech competition on Sunday 12th October.

I like to practice in front of a video camera - As soon as I start practicing my grand daughters - ask - Are you practicing your speech? They know that they have got 7 minutes for mayhem. Off they go in different directions, on Monday the three year old took a jar of honey off the table and it got spilt on her bed when the 5 year old was jumping on the bed. On Tuesday a banana milk shake was spilt on the floor. I am not sure if I want to practice my speech today.

Thank goodness for the movie "Barbie & the Diamond castle" they watch it twice aday.

Have to go now they want me to put on the movie again.

Not much time for reading. I am too tired at night to read more than a few pages.

Books I am Reading

I have just finished reading The household guide to dying a novel by Debra Adelaide. I really enjoyed this book and read it really fast. It is about an author and domestic advice columnist who is dying from breast cancer and her quest to tie up loose ends before she dies.

Another book I finished a few days ago was also about dying but being able to come back at an earlier time and change things so that your life has a happier ending it is called Will you be there? by Guillaume Musso.

I loved reading Geraldine Brooks novel People of the book. I loved the concept of the history of the book and all the people who had a hand in writing the book and protecting it over hundreds of years.
