Oh dear!!! The Ashes certainly have turned to dust. It has been depressing listening through the night to the action Down Under. With the batting struggling I still didn’t get a call! Talking cricket I met up with my Test Match pals for a seasonal drink last night. We are going to two Tests and a One Day International next summer.

I am enjoying reading Neil Gaiman’s book on Norse Mythology, it is well written. Last week our Book Club met here at my house for an “Art Evening” with our usual high standard of wonderful food. Each one of us had to talk about a piece of Art that meant something to us. It was a remarkably diverse and enjoyable evening. My pals never cease to amaze me with their imaginative ideas. Back on a Book theme in January.
