Depends on the weekend really - next Sunday, we'll be up at Caloundra so I'll likely be reading it on the beach while my girl surfs. Today it's at my laptop after posting today's book review on my blog, and enjoying a very large cappucino.

I listen to audios in the car - commuting or driving up to the coast on weekends.

I review and write for publishers (in the main children's books) and have a blog which is ten years old this year, and that keeps me pretty busy but I do enjoy biographies and listen to 'grown up' audio books in the car. Most recently Jennifer Grey's auto-biography 'Out of the Corner' but...

the local police told me years ago that the theft from our local Kmart was huge - not long after is when they moved the checkouts to the centre of the store, and someone at the exit 'checked' the receipt ( actually they don't even look closely at it, I could be waving anything at them). I found...

For at least the past year, any time I've had a complaint about my online groceries - especially the fruit/veg (which I no longer order via this method) - Woolies merely emailed an online credit. I told them then it's a rort and that I should be getting my $$ back into my account -not theirs!

One Favourite Christmas memory is from when my mother and I went to Fiji for Xmas, I was just ten years old. I was very worried that Santa wouldn't know I was in Fiji and wouldn't know where to deliver my gifts. We had a very exciting time - especially when the big hotel in Suva put on a...

Members with grandies who may be interested in these little guys might like to read my friend's book Coco: the Fish with Hands - click on the title to read my review. It's the first in Aleesah's series about endangered animals which are hugely popular with the smaller humans :-)

The job I have(started this year) was supposed to be Head of Library but the school has had me teaching two English classes leaving very little time for their badly neglected library - long story but I made a big mistake accepting the job. So now I'm finishing up next Friday :-) *claps hands*...

Oh I don't want to retire from her - just work/school...............I've actually just started home-schooling her again (she has learning impairments) so looking to do relief/casual and get by on that rather than stressing fulltime in a very unpleasant high school :)

Well as I'm still working full time, I don't have much time for other stuff but I do review children's and YA books for a number of publishers and have a pretty successful blog which I've written for almost ten years. The Kid has started surfing this year so we go up the coast every couple of...
