Hello/Meow Sideboard Cat
Hello/Meow Sideboard CatSideboard Cat says hello to everyone. She doesn't seem to be upset about being away for a few weeks which is good. She's been asleep in the bedroom all afternoon ignoring me, after eating treats and killing a spider. Tough life.

Talking of things that are scary, I drove for the first time in nearly ten years today and it was terrifying. My mum wants me to try a couple more times to get my confidence back before making a decision but I don't think I want to do it again. I felt like I wasn't far off going round a roundabout constantly screaming with my eyes closed
Abe Books used to have a brilliant message board where you could post 'I loved a book about X but can't remember the title or author but ... ' and someone would usually be able to identify it surprisingly quickly.I remember Carbonel as well, our teacher read it to the class at age 6 I think and I loved it. And it's another book I bought an old copy of. I have an old children's book habit. is there a support group I can join?
I had completely forgotten about The Little White Horse! But I think that might be what I was thinking of as well - I was confusing it with The Chimneys of Green Knowe.I remember Carbonel! And the treasure chest reminds me of Maria finding the sewing box in The Little White Horse, which is full of tiny precious things (probably not what you were thinking of Sidey B, but another top favourite from the library.) There's a lot of amazing little treasures in The Midnight Folk as well, plus delicious food.
The bungalow was invaded by a large number of dwarves who kidnapped her and took her on an interminably long journey to find a missing ring (if only they'd asked, she had several in a drawer they could have had)?ETA- fantastic detective work. Now you can find out why Jack didn’t turn up today.
Read it - it’s still beautiful (if very old fashioned). I looked mine out a while ago and wished I was a dainty little person who could fit in a moon tower.I had completely forgotten about The Little White Horse! But I think that might be what I was thinking of as well - I was confusing it with The Chimneys of Green Knowe.
All of this reminiscing is making me want to read these again, but I'm a bit scared to in case it's just not the same when you're an adult and the spell is broken.
I read Ulysses as part of my first degree. Hard work frankly. Since I got older I'm totally bored with fiction. Can only read practical/ non fiction.I did English Lit too - found my old copy of Ulysses - which I didn’t read at the time - but not sure if I will manage it. My attention span is lacking.
The last books I got and devoured and really enjoyed were the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy - brilliant trash reading but also about somewhere I know nothing about and really want to go (in a private 747 with a spa obvs). I reread them for a brain cleanse when it’s all a bit hectic with work and life.
Looks like a young Scottish Blackface to me tooSomehow, I was convinced that a spontaneous camp would be nice last night so we drove to a loch ( reallymyself here). It was extremely windy but not terrible. My tarpo was roundly mocked, but we did see a wee sheepo that made me think of @Falkor. We thought they might be Scottish Blackface but not sure?
