for me what helps aside from hugging myself, is a heavy winter or rain coat. (I've got a sailing jacket that I love for both the weight and how it keeps me dry in all circumstances.) And those I always miss during the warm summer days.
on the right side from the railing is for the humans, the left is for cats.
nope not all series, have continued stories. That is also why I wanted to read the rest over time, to get how it fits in the overall story of the series.
that one was based on the book yeah
Oh yeah absolutely enjoyed that book, and wished I read more of the Asia saga by James Clavell to know how it fits in that even bigger story. Cause I really enjoyed the sort of chess game that was the plot (and reminded me of the best Epic fantasies in that way)
And no I did not know there was another adaptation of this story coming our way. Did see the previous miniseries from Paramount on blue-ray. With John Rhys-Davies (the actor who played Gimli in LOTR) as Rodrigues as an absolute highlight.
I try to limit my book buying already for a few years, by wanting to read a book at least three times before I buy it. (doesn't always work, but at least it keeps me from impulse buying every book that sounds vaguely interesting.) Also I reread and lent from the library. so I do not always read new books exclusively. And once I read a book I wonder if I see myself rereading it, if yes it can stay, if no it can find a new home by secondhand bookstore or free little library.
did this happen in Giethoorn? the environment reminds me of it.
had eerlijk gezegd dat de tweede van boven aan de rechterkant hier wel zijn oorsprong had gevonden. Toen ik tegenkwam dat dit niet zo was, dacht ik dat hij alsnog als onderdeel hier misschien gewaardeerd zou worden.
Why do I suspect something quite similar lead to my father saying in these circumstances to write down (or just the topic) what I wanted to say.
that might make it more difficult indeed to find some heavy weighted jackets to wear.
