It makes me feel all warm and cosy inside when I am all wrapped up and know I get home to a lovely roaring fire.<br />Word verification, arrgghhh, what a nightmare. I often give up as well, it just makes my eyes go all funny when I try to read the darned things.Lululizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252036505940629329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-35824787528727746112012-08-30T08:13:51.231+01:002012-08-30T08:13:51.231+01:00I have never driven in a downpour like the one we ...I have never driven in a downpour like the one we had yesterday (we were all down to 15 miles an hour) and I spotted a poor chap sheltering with his bike in a hedge.

The word verification things are DEFINITELY getting worse - it sometimes takes me three or four "goes" these days.menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-69440709296656140212012-08-30T06:57:25.501+01:002012-08-30T06:57:25.501+01:00That word verification thing is intensely annoying...That word verification thing is intensely annoying as my eyesight seems to tell me one thing and I am often wrong, having to have another go at it. I often buy from the The Book Depository and think they are good value. As you know, I've now read The Snow Child and thoroughly enjoyed it so I can vouchsafe for your recommendations Jane.

What a great deal that was and I have dashed off and places my order. Delivery to Australia in about 7 days !!!

Actually I was going to have a mini-rant on my blog re the robot verification in my next post. I am SO fed up with having to do this, often several times as the letters/numbers are so often indecipherable. WHY???? In fact, I disable this requirement from my blog to make things easier for folks to comment.
