Our monthly book group in the library has been moved to 12:00 md, so no hanging around yesterday, as we had to get into town, park and then walk to the library. Altho of late we've been showering fairly early, well I say early, but before 10 am, so probably late for a lot of people. Its because if I'm awake in the night, when I do get back to sleep, I sleep on past our usual get up time.
We spent the first few minutes discussing our Christmas meal booked in December at the Italian restaurant, where we went to for Dh's birthday. He and I have already decided what we'll have! Once we did get round to discussing the book, the general opinion was it was a 'nice' read, nothing to write home about.. so 'The Keeper of Lost Things' was shelved.... but then we were joined by a young man, who had come to join our group and had read the book.
He had delved deeply into the book and had formed opinions on the characters, their emotional relationships, their inner feelings and compared it to another book and film. He never stopped talking, I had to jump in when he took a breath, to say 'Moving on,' what did one of the other members think about it. So that's going to be interesting in the future if he comes back. He had come on the bus from Maesteg, so why to our little library?
Our next read is Josephine Tey's, 'The Daughter of Time' so an easy read. I read it years ago. but can't remember it!

Hey it's cold in Wales.. hope it warms up a bit. We're more than toasty, this week it's hovered between 30c to 34c and it isn't summer yet. We'll be melting by Jan - life downunder.
I enjoyed the Keeper of Lost Things too.
I go by my scales at home; the day I started WW years ago was a heatwave; I wore a thin summer dress. So for the rest of the year I appeared to be gaining weight at WW as the weather grew colder!
