Day 44 - A very special book

I was very excited to receive my copy of ‘Weird Wild’ – my writing buddy Geri’s first book – in the post today.  Geri and I briefly worked together as temps in the planning department when we were both in our teens and have stayed in touch mostly via social media over the years, discovering a shared love of writing.  We have been writing buddies for NaNoWriMo and Camp NaNoWriMo and Geri has had a few short stories published in the last few years.  Her first book is a collection of her short stories and I’m really looking forward to reading it.

How to feed a family... book review

I was recommended the book ‘How to feed your whole family…” by Gill Holcombe by a friend and it has since become my favourite cookery book ever. The recipes are so straightforward and easy to follow and are absolutely delicious (the pork with apple and apricot was described by Michael as the best meal I have ever cooked!) and so far Jessica has happily eaten each of them. I love the meal plans at the back of the book with a shopping list for five evenings worth of meals (some of which use left-overs) which have also been very handy.
