I’m not remotely an argumentative person but as a fellow type 1 diabetic, I would have kicked up a fuss if they had tried to take food away from me.
Mind you, I’ve been known to smuggle a smallish baguette (up my […] -
Scarlet commented on the post, Enid Blyton 9 months, 2 weeks ago
My reading obsession started very young and Enid definitely had a part to play.
My dad gave me his copy of Five On a Treasure Island when I had just turned six and I totally devoured it.
I then asked him for […] -

To the tiny-dicked tangerine toddler-in-chief.
You are really really good at tweeting and tantruming at the same time.

Although my responses make me sound like I’ve only been watching Bond films for the last 10 years, Skyfall was the best, closely followed by Casino Royale. Craig is a fantastic Bond,
The worst was Die Another […]

I tried to buy it and was only able to download a 20-page sample. No option to buy the kindle version.
Very odd.
Quite fancied a read of that this weekend as well. -

Love it!
I bet there were absolutely loads of Waits-related places I missed on another recent trip to LA.
I’m simply going to have to do some more listening research and go back. -
Scarlet commented on the post, Joni Mitchell – health update 11 months, 3 weeks ago
Thanks for posting.
I’ve been doing that thing of occasionally thinking about her and wondering how she was doing, without going online and trying to find out, for a few months now.
I’m another one who probably […] -

I have tickets for the London show at the end of the month and I’m looking forward to it even more now.
(Incidentally, I saw Belinda O’Hooley -along with Heidi – on Saturday. Mighty fine keyboard player indeed.) -

I am very prone to this.
The back of the Savoy where the Dylan video was shot.
Haight Ashbury to see where Janis, the Grareful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish and others lived.
I chose an Airbnb in LA […] -

To while away the time a couple of them had fan letters they were reading out loud and taking the piss […] -

Love this album. Saw him a couple of times, once as a support and once in a small London venue.
Stuck a couple of tracks on a playlist for a recent holiday and was reminded how much I enjoy him. -
Scarlet commented on the post, The Afterword’s Got Talent! 12 months ago
I have a first-class sense of direction. Can always find my way around a place, even if all I’ve done is glance at a map for a few seconds. Proved it at the weekend by leading the other ladies in the hen weekend […]

I can include several of the above authors in my collection.
