Today's Question: Whats the name of the first book you read and just couldn't put down? Are you one to reread a book? I can't remember the first time I couldn't put a book down. But it happens once in a while. I do not usually reread. In fact, I don't think I ever have, aside from referencing it briefly.
Extra Credit Question: Any traveling plans coming up in the near future? Nope. Everyone is coming to me over the next few weeks.
Bonus Question: What condition is your lawn? The front lawn looks nice. We are working on the back. There was no grass whatsoever when we moved in 7 months ago. We've got it about half filled now.
Just One More: What is your favorite breakfast? (if you didn't have to cook it yourself) French toast and bacon.
Location: I never said I was perfect so no refunds here sorry!

Just an absolute gorgeous morning
Today's Question: Whats the name of the first book you read and just couldn't put down? Are you one to reread a book? Truth be told I have a hard time remembering lots of things and this would qualify as 1 of those

Today's Question: Whats the name of the first book you read and just couldn't put down? Are you one to reread a book?
I don't remember, but there's a very good chance it was one of Enid Blyton's Famous Five books - perhaps "Five Go To Billyc ock Hill" (censor lol). I also read and loved "Black Beauty" when I was 7-8 years old. I have been known to re-read books, but not very often.
Extra Credit Question: Any traveling plans coming up in the near future? There's always travel plans in the pipeline! My travel pal and I were just discussing taking a road trip next year centring on cowboy country (Montana, Wyoming) or maybe a reprise of a trip we took a few years ago - Chicago - Memphis - New Orleans. Decisions, decisions!
Bonus Question: What condition is your lawn? It's not growing too much (winter here), but is still green and lush as we've had quite a lot of rain. It only needs mowing every two or three weeks (until around September, then it's back to once a week).
Just One More: What is your favorite breakfast? (if you didn't have to cook it yourself)
I can't manage breakfast first thing in the morning - so if I can please have mine mid-morning, I'd like a real Parisian croissant with lashings of butter, followed with a little smoked salmon on yummy pumpernickel bread. I'll wash it down with some genuine French cafe au lait. If you don't mind, may I please eat it in Paris too? Thanks very much.
Good morning... Chilly 50 degrees and looks like a little rain on its way. Same for us in Vermont, GG. It looks rainy through til Wednesday.
Today's Question: Whats the name of the first book you read and just couldn't put down? Are you one to reread a book? I can't remember. I read a lot & have stayed up most of the night with a book I couldn't put down. I have reread books. In the book Inkspell there's a line that says something like, "When you pick up a book you've read it's like finding a piece of yourself that was left behind."
Extra Credit Question: Any traveling plans coming up in the near future? No traveling plans.
Bonus Question: What condition is your lawn? Funny you should ask. My lawnmower wasn't fixed til a little over a week ago. With the party yesterday my SIL and I spent most of the week mowing. I mow about six acres. SIL threatened to have one of the farmers come in to hay.
Just One More: What is your favorite breakfast? (if you didn't have to cook it yourself) French toast with fruit.
Today's Question: Whats the name of the first book you read and just couldn't put down? Are you one to reread a book? "A Night to Remember", by Walter Lord. "The Wizard of Oz", by L. Frank Baum. It was one of them, unless you count "Star-Bellied Sneetches", by Dr. Suess. That was great! Yep, I'll re-read a book. But I only read reference books now.
Extra Credit Question: Any traveling plans coming up in the near future? Yep! We're going to the market today!
Bonus Question: What condition is your lawn? Half dead.
Just One More: What is your favorite breakfast? (if you didn't have to cook it yourself) 3 jumbo eggs, home fries with onion, several strips og bacon, 2 big sausage links, toast and water.
1840 - Meteorite hits Uden, Netherlands Wish I was there!

Today's Question: Whats the name of the first book you read and just couldn't put down? Are you one to reread a book?
Hmm- a toughie as it would have been a few years ago, but 'The Mysterious Affair At Styles' by Agatha Christie, and the book which introduces Hercule Poirot comes to mind. I remember reading it on the banks on the River Avon opposite the Shakespeare theatre back in the early 1970s.
There are so many books that I have reread.
Extra Credit Question: Any traveling plans coming up in the near future?
We're off to Normandy in a few weeks, dropping Miss Jezer off to do an intensive French course whilst Mrs J and I then head off to stay in a Chateau in the Loire Valley.
Then back to Rouen and the two girls take the train to Milan via Paris for a short break leaving me to drive back to Blighty.
Miss J is looking to study French and Italian at university.
Bonus Question: What condition is your lawn?
Until today it was pretty dry and in not great condition. Today's downpours should help it.
Just One More: What is your favorite breakfast? (if you didn't have to cook it yourself)
Full English: proper bacon (not the American stuff), proper Wiltshire sausages from round here, our own hens eggs sunny side up, tomatoes (pronounced the proper way ), mushrooms and proper toast- ie done on both sides (remember Sting singing An Englishman In New York?). Decent unsalted butter, which we could not get in the US, and marmalade.
I will have it with coffee rather than tea though.
