We have a TV in the sitting room where we both sit in the evening and another in the bedroom, I swear they only show black-and-white war films - it drives me mad, especially when I’m trying to read!

I live in a small house with the dining bit at one end so the back of the TV with the speakers facing rear, gives out even more noise. Then he will ask me something and I struggle to hear. I have excellent hearing but he can't understand that it's louder from the rear than he is hearing!

Yes even a mundane job such as packing and posting can be fulfilling and interesting if the doer is a vivacious person who loves every bit of her job ! I am in agreement with you regarding the coincidences .Once a lady ordered for wallpaper with instructions reading - ' no colours, no designs, no borders or fringes . Just pale sheets of wallpaper ..' While writing the bill the accountant could not help noticing her name "Mrs. Bland "<br />(courtesy Reader's Digest )<br />And for your question - may be a book about oriental riches or eastern adventures would be apt for my home-address which is equivalent to a tongue twister !Kokila guptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992236728883850513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-54353046914675102422015-04-11T17:25:17.215+01:002015-04-11T17:25:17.215+01:00There is nothing better Tracy.There is nothing better Tracy.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-81781006860701902902015-04-11T17:15:03.878+01:002015-04-11T17:15:03.878+01:00I couldn't agree more.

Names of my town or country probably aren't in the classics, but if you ever find one about Tomato (where I live, it's called 'Tomato Town' or if it's in the Hokkien dialect 'Red-Haired Town') please let me know. These you have here are beautiful books. I'm attracted to Merry England's cover. Of course, with The Wishing Chair, my sisters and I used to see pretend-ribbons fluttering on the legs of our grandfather's rocking chair ...<br /><br />Parcels of memories. :) Happy weekends, Barbara! xoxo C.Yanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-35624799911299945642015-04-09T22:51:07.391+01:002015-04-09T22:51:07.391+01:00Oh I agree Barbara, it is so fun to hear back from...Oh I agree Barbara, it is so fun to hear back from people too.
