Evil mom strikes again

Well, here we are in sunny, windy, chilly N. VA supposedly enjoying the spring sunshine. In actual fact we are busy enforcing the Saturday chore routine- change your sheets, vacuum, dust. Wash your laundry. You know, the- "mom I thought this is what you're supposed to do" chores. I nearly died the first time my younger son told me this. I answered- "I thought these up just to torture you with them."

I also started reading Bitter Brew this afternoon. The one about the mass poisoning in rural Maine. Of course, I'm also reading The One Who Got Away, & the Dr. Phil book too. Oh yeah- Honeymoon With my Brother too. lol :) I'll make quick progress I can tell..

TOWGA is the new book by Marian Keyes. So far( 4 chapters), it appears to be a convoluted storyline involving several women whose lives intersect in different ways, all of which seem to involve relationships- with each other, with parents, with boyfriends, with husbands, etc. I think it's closer to "women's fiction" than romance. I've liked her other books, this one looks good too.

DH & I are considering a holiday in Oct. in Edinburgh. Can you give us any basic info about weather, good meals off the "tourist trek", etc? Thanks!

Oh! I didn't know that Keyes's book has a title change. Over here the title is THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY. I read it last year. I enjoyed it, too, but not enough to regard it as a Memorable Read.

This October? Oooh. Nice one! Summer is from June to August, but good weather usually lasts to early October. I tell you what - why don't you send me an email at applecross9 @ gmail.com? I'd be pleased to email you the info as well as to answer any questions you may have. :)
