...and the weather has stayed rather nice the past two evenings so I have been sat out reading a couple of books:
Which was OK - the ending was kind of abrupt but it had a few funny moments... not as funny or as enjoyably silly as Becky Bloomwood (the early days) but ok...
And...
The third book I have tried in the Desperate Duchesses series by Eloisa James - a break from regency stories to go back to some Georgian shenanigans... rather good, but I like a break between these books rather than reading the entire series in one go. Think they are more enjoyable if read at a sedate pace too. :)
And finally I might as well share some of the pics from the Olympic Torch Relay that passed near me at the weekend.
So much for thinking that by getting to the Olympic Torch Relay route half an hour before it was due to pass by that I'd snag a spot in front of the park - almost! The crowds were out in force and it was great to see the pavements paved with people as far as the eye could see.
I even got a high five from this kind PC - well, between his royal waving...
Next came the Torch Relay bus.
Followed by the mascots...
Then the sponsors, didn't manage to snag a free bottle of Coke but the cheerleaders were revving up the crowd.
There was a little wait for the next bus... as folks threw themselves into the road for a quick pic!
The green flags got snagged before they reached us...
And then it was a blink and you'll miss him moment as our very proud torch bearer (Paddy Cronesberry) zoomed passed - he looked pleased as punch. :D
And now I'd best zoom off - final ep of the current run of Silk to enjoy...
