This week I read Bamburgh by L J Ross. About to start Bleeding Heart Square by Andrew Taylor.

You're right - it wasn't! For me the two best dances were Lewis's & Karen's. None of the rest did much for me.

Did they arrive? I see the snow did! Are you very high up, or very exposed?

Your 'anti-book' is my favourite book ever! I've read it at least 25 times. Apart from Reaper Man & Mexican Gothic, I haven't read any of the others.

You expect a 'subs'? You'd be lucky these days. At times I'm not sure there's any kind of editor!

Morning Womble. This week I read The Lavender Lady by Faith Martin and The Crimson Child by R. N. Morris. Now reading Mortal Causes by Ian Rankin.

Jess is quite chunky - about 15kgs. It's the Staffy in her I think!

I'm not sure I'd describe Jess as 'sensible', but when it comes to very wet weather she's definitely a wuss 🤭

Unfortunately Amazon won't accept I live anywhere else except Ireland so e-book not available! Others of your books are, so I don't know what kind of licences Solaris set up for the two books in this series 🤔🙄

We didn't venture outside at all today! We're under an orange weather warning until tomorrow, so it makes sense to stay at home. Jess is perfectly happy in 'her' chair - with the occasional dash into the garden!
