It was a particularly fruitful ride in the cold/almost rain this morning (see previous post). I had another thought. Scary, two in one twelve minute motorcycle ride through Lincolnshire. The second thought was on the nature of government, namely if I ran the country what would I do?
I was supposed to be working today. The permanent Sensory QA is on holiday, I’m covering a few days. Except, someone didn’t know this, or more correctly the precise details, and asked one of the minions to cover.

In addition, it’s the 200 anniversary of the publication of Mansfield Park this year. Not my favourite Austen novel, but I might re-read it.
I will be getting this and reading it, just as soon as I get my tablet to a WiFi connection. Can’t go wrong with a free book.

You can download it from my SmashWords profile here: X Marks The Spot.
All you need to remember is the following formulae: Lather, Rinse, Repeat, Lather…

Woop!
Bet I won’t be able to watch though 😦
No, I’m not talking about slaughtering a camp full of Scouts. From an established band whose work I generally like but don’t like their most recent album, to a band I’ve never heard of, and quite like.

Looks like a useful resource for those of us interested in history and myths.
A friend of a friend is releasing her book tomorrow. Good luck Mimi.
Almost tomorrow!
😉
Am nervous about unleashing it on the world! Once you’ve read it, if you like it, do me a favour and pass it on to a friend?
Word of mouth is an important tool these days – as is social media! 🙂
❤ you guys! xo
