Which book (s) did you love when you were little ?

And are there any books which to this day you still appreciate as an adult ?

.........................................................................................................
I would say that I was an Enid Blyton fan, as well as Roald Dahl. (Almost forgot Judy Blume for those pre teen years !)

And the book I appreciate most as an adult is Charlottes Web - it is such a beautiful story with all the elements of life in it.

Boy, i am not impressed!! I went to doctor last week, for a suspected ulcer or gastritis, he sent me for blood tests, and now wants to see me on Tuesday - as my tests came back - high cholesterol!! I am shocked as i hardly eat anything relating to fat, i grill and bake all my meat, chicken, use olive oil for everything, i do not have margarine or butter on my bread!! I phoned my Mom today to see if she or my Dad suffered from cholesterol, no..but my Dad's family has cholesterol problems. At the moment i do not know what my count is, but i presume maybe 6??

I guess it could be the stressful life i live!! :bigcry:

Does anyone belong to Friends of the Lions/Springboks?

Thank you

I know a few people are still waiting to get the Da Vinci code, and perhaps I am plowing on ahead too fast...but here was hoping we would all get a book +/- the same time and read it within the same month. Da Vinci was for April....

Any suggestions for May ? Or can I go ahead and look for a few titles...??? Please get back to me.

Help! Terrible Twos have struck my home this week! :dazed: I've bought the book, "Toddler Taming" by Dr Christopher Green & have become a loyal devotee but I still feel like I'm drowning! :wall:

Here's a list of the Toddler Tortures being inflicted upon me:

1. Hunger strike
2. Daily tantrums that last at least half an hour a time
3. Excess clinginess

In all fairness to my son, we've had a tough year with a lot of changes in our lives. He also has a new set of molars coming out so I've been dosing him up with Calpol.

At 10pm tonight on BBC Radio 2 (according to my dad)...there is a programme on SA music.

It's the 2nd part - my dad taped some of it last week and it was encredibly interesting and really 'lekker' to hear.

If it's not on.... blame my dad not me!

Jinne, ek het lanklaas hier gekuier!

Het Sondag in Skotland aangekom, en terwyl ek hier sit kyk ek uit op 'n onstuimige see en Arran Eiland! Ek was nog baie besig hierdie week, en kon nog nie gaan stap nie.... dit is as ek nou in die reen wou stap! Die heuwels is gras, gras groen en oral is daar wit skape en lammetjies te sien..... prentjie mooi! Ek moet maar fyn luister as ek die aksent wil verstaan!
