Books ?? Just cannot beat them for variety and selection.
Looking at my library, most will be about,war(fact)--mystery and murder and not forgetting a few of Bill Bryson and his walks. I love a book for every possible mood and occassion, so relaxing, that my tea or coffee can get cold when so engrossed.

Smiler, Happy Reading. Nostalgia ?? Good for one's mind!!

I too used to get the Readers Digest
and the first thing i did was look at the picture on the back page to see if it was good to paint !
I have copied many a one from there.

of the front page,usually a spanish dancing                girl. that was in the 1970`s.
May pick up a paint brush again soon...if i

Books?? Bought six today from 'Age Concern' including four hardback Readers Digest, with four stories in each book.

I too remember The 'Reveille' and also The 'Picture Post' and the 'Illustrated' magazines, when our last King, was layed out in 'state'-- not forgetting The Punch, as well.
 Ah!! Those Memories keep coming back:

Hi Smiler, Not sure where our nearest 'Sence' is. But normally, we are well covered by Age Concern and the Library, so guess we are quite lucky. Have got rid of our Video recorder, since updating to DVD. recorder/player.
 Sometimes, regrettable ??

Anybody read any, Tom Sharpe or Bill Bryson for light hearted reading. Could be a long dark Winter and a good Book is a welcome companion!!

Hi Mac, Hope you are getting a lot of 'Laughter Sounds' from your reading. -- How do you find reading the Book, compares to watching the Film ??
