@thebrainofspock @BexBookaholic It's genuinely perplexing to me. They have absolutely no idea what's going on in your life. And why should you need to smile all the time anyway? Grr

And a quick trip to @WaterstonesKids to pick up the latest Crookhaven for the other child. @Joelarcanjo she's very excited!

Oooh our @SurreyLibraries reservation for the new @MGLnrd has come in. I predict a quiet afternoon!

RT @EsherLibrary: Grab a free tree at our next library tree giveaway at Esher Library! All trees are suitable for planting at home. It’s f…

@littlehux Gosh we are such frequent borrowers that we are probably holding up the kids book industry!

Ah. The English exchange of "how are you?", "fine fine, you?" Is so bloody pointless isn't it? Utterly insincere. Just found myself doing it (fine fine) when absolutely not fine. Sigh.

@SurreyLibraries It's fab having access to lots of libraries but the super access gains are limited when you can't do basic things like return books. Thank you

Oh NHS sometimes you are ridiculous. I get sent a link to log in and see my appointment. I did that. I now have a time and a date but no location. Also no contact details to ask for said location.

@oldenoughtosay British. More than four wheels is a lorry.

@sarramanning Ooh and the Austrian blinds. I FINALLY persuaded my mother to make some and was so happy! It's a bit of a time warp. The tiles in the kitchen make my eyes hurt

@bushontheradio My leftie finds it annoying that most scissors don't work for her. And splodgy biros annoy her . But she enjoys being a left handed cricketer.

@Joelarcanjo @Valda_Varadinek @HachetteKids @NetGalley Brill, I will wait til then and read the last three in a mega binge

@100Climbs Yes but gritted roads and only as a commute

Obviously I have now tempted fate and will keel over today. So that's something to look forward to.

@Joelarcanjo @Valda_Varadinek @HachetteKids @NetGalley Is this the final installment? Or are there more to come? In all honesty I find the cliffhanger endings unsatisfying as a reader - I prefer each book to be a satisfying entirety - so I've stopped reading until I know there's a definite end.

@MGLnrd @MacmillanKidsUK Oh my, you must have a sore hand now! I've ordered a copy from @SurreyLibraries

@sarramanning Saw the first room and thought "that's not shagpile" but kept clicking. Wow. What a reward. A LOTTA shagpile!!
