Air rain!

 

Yesterday was a miserable day and the drizzly rain lasted for most of the day, I call it 'air rain!'  We did not go to town or the library. We've plenty of books to read. as we bought the Spring choice of Richard and Judy book club. We've decided not to buy any more till we've read them all.
I read faster than Dh so I usually read them and get them finished first.
I choose this one first as I like Tim Weaver books.
It started really well, but some how in the middle it lost the original story and I struggled to read it.


I did finish it, but I didn't think it was up to his usual standard and it was really long! So a bit of a disappointment for me.
I needed a lighter read after it. so I'm reading a free kindle book about a couple who have bought a wreck of a farm house in France, and its not brilliant. but an easy read and funny.

Why would you buy somewhere with out electricity inside the main building and water only an outside tap? Outside toilet, non flushing, no bath or shower and a loft bedroom only accessed by a ladder. Actually the bed room was just a bed and some boxes for their belongings.  The main rooms are earth floors and a leaky roof. I could not live like that, even if you paid me! Especially as they have no spare cash.
This bungalow was clean and decorated, albeit magnolia through out, but it was desperate for a new bathroom and kitchen although perfectly usable, but we had them done as soon as we could get the workmen organized. So to buy somewhere that was a wreck, they must have a lot of faith. I shall find out more as I read it,  I'll let you know...Its my bed time read...
I like reading my kindle in bed as its easy to hold!
