Not sure where, I've offered suggestions over at Faffquarters HQ i.e. Cheeseburger.<br /><br />As Commander Havock's jet takes off at 3.55pm, I think we will have to exit the peninsula between 2.30 and 3pm so that he gets checked in on time.<br /><br />I'm hoping to get him to Redcliffe by 12noon at the very latest so he gets a decent visit in.

His mother was warned to watch him carefully, as he wouldn't have a strong constitution. Theirs was not a bookish family by any means, but from an early age my husband loved books. Whenever he would spend too long reading, his Mum would make him stop and send him outdoors to run, ride his bike and climb trees. She believed reading, which was such hard work for her, was obviously too arduous a pastime for a boy with a weak heart! (Postscript: two open-heart surgeries later, we just celebrated my husband's 81st birthday. His presents? Books, of course!)Chartreusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919069110736697400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839741629478290383.post-17615938788272523102010-04-23T20:59:21.098+10:002010-04-23T20:59:21.098+10:00One of my mothers few good points was instilling m...One of my mothers few good points was instilling me with an enjoyment of reading and my father was all for it.<br /><br />Shame you won't be around for Chaz Day, Hughsey but I know it's a long trip, and we don't have a window to come up to see you guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839741629478290383.post-10949064800562939262010-04-23T05:27:17.636+10:002010-04-23T05:27:17.636+10:00You think you had problems!

My Exclusive Brethren mob almost had apoplexy when my (athiest) aunt gave me the Complete Works of Shakespeare at about 14 and I read the lot, eventually absorbing his dialect and his atheist ideas. Their attitude was that reading time was better spent praying (if there was no wood to cut) and I share your niggling guilt. In fact, I often have a little cry when I allow myself a little kindness. Yes Barnesm, perfect revenge!
