so little time

Must buy presents
Must write cards
Must steal a tree
Must kiss an elf
Must send a letter to the North pole
Must phone home
Must find a turkey
Must buy wine and spirits
Must drink same
Must sing a carol or two
Must I?

Jonathan Strange

Have just finished Mr. Norrell and Jonathan Strange. It was a fascinating book. I felt compelled to keep reading-by the magic or the force of the writing- and would say I enjoyed it.
It is a book about magic which is not a subject I would normally choose but this was good. I never fell inlove with any of the characters. There were no heroes or heroines just victims of the all encompassing magic. It was not a feel good book but it was a good read.
I did get fed up with all the footnotes which added largely nothing. If I had to rate it I would give it 6/10.

what if.....

What if work was enjoyable every day and didn't cause stress.

What if pigs could fly

What if Plymouth Argyle won the premiership

Wha if politicians told the truth

What if....
