My favourite meal.......

My favourite meal. 

Eggs on toast or bread.......

Scrambled,  fried, poached, dippy eggs, French toast...... 

All quick and easy.....

Pretty healthy to......

"chook lit".........

"Chook lit" or rural/romance genre............this article I found describes it better..........I love this genre of books anyway and haven't read any books for ages...........the Australian market for it is booming......

well I should not have started this book because when I did I could not put it down.........I loved the story.............was quick and easy to read...........I missed meeting her in her book tour by one day..........I could not stay and meet her which was a bit disappointing......Fleur blogs too you can find her here.....

when i first started reading her blog I didn't realise she was an author.......

She has published 4 books previously so I may have to hunt them down to read.....has anyone read any of her other books

%%%%%

Fleur does occassional posts about others in the same genre too and the other day she posted about Therese Creed and her new book "Charlotte's Creek" so when i found it out shopping I picked it up.........This is Therese 2nd book......hopefully back soon with a report on that............it's on the reading list for next week..........I am not starting today as once I do get into the book I can't put it down..............

Have you read any rural chick lit/chook lit lately???? I love Rachel Treasures books too........have some of those on Audio from the library......

.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........

death of an ipod/music question............

This ipod is attached to "Boy Wonder" just about 24/7................

I am sure it has been places most ipods would never go.........

they are definitely dust proof too............

music is beaming from it hours each day...........and most nights.............

It's been thru a screen already and "Boy Wonder" cracked it last year but had been managing with it since then..........last night the LCD covered the screen......then we saw that a chip of the cracked glass had fallen out too......you can see the time just in the top corner and that is it...........

I managed to save the photos........games and music are no issue..........game scores may be gone......

So has "Boy Wonder" saved enough money to buy a new one????

ALSO music question.....

If you have heard of Luke Bryan and like his music do you have any other suggestions like him.......

I like his music BUT I know the words off by heart of 2 of his albums.......

Catch you later

Happy Birthday Fibre Junction.............

One of my special friends in the USA is Carole - Quilting Adventures...........we have been blog friends I think from the very beginning.......she started blogging just before me and i think we have been friends for all or almost all that time from way back in 2007.........anyway 5 years ago she opened a shop.........it's called the Fibre Junction........I can't believe it is 5 years but she is having a party to celebrate...........

I wished I could call in and visit.........one day maybe..........head over to her blog - Quilting Adventures and wish the shop happy birthday............

I'm posting this about 4pm Thursday Australian time and she is/should be sound asleep as I think it is 2am so it would be nice surprise for her to wake to some birthday wishes.................

.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........
