I was just looking at it the other day and thinking I have to get it back to you.<br /><br />How about I give it to Jean and she can pass it on to you some Thursday?<br /><br />Speaking of TV shows, we loved "Lost in Austin". Thanks for recommending it.<br /><br />Love Jean.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538502318975037711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276278342039529509.post-55214577928454343272011-04-20T18:26:02.327+10:002011-04-20T18:26:02.327+10:00Ohh, goody!

It was one of the Cities I studied in Yr 12 history.<br />Btw, do you still have 'Cocaine Blues' by Kerry Greenwood? I can't remember.<br />And if you feel like combining food and history I just discovered a new TV series called 'The Supersizers Go...' (insert era Elizabethan/Regency/Wartime etc.) UK 2008. It's hysterical.<br />Hope you're enjoying school holidays.Steph Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276278342039529509.post-17871089106896929132011-04-14T07:59:07.115+10:002011-04-14T07:59:07.115+10:00I consider myself forewarned (about The Autobiogra...I consider myself forewarned (about <em>The Autobiography of Henry VIII</em> that is!).<br /><br />You'll have to be quick on the quotes. I was planning to put one up on Monday! :)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538502318975037711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276278342039529509.post-84230807733547159622011-04-13T23:25:01.337+10:002011-04-13T23:25:01.337+10:00Hey Jean isn't Wolf Hall fantastic.

But compared to WH it is just a great fat doorstop. The only benefit of reading it is that it shows the enormous depth of insight and strength of writing in Hilary M's work.<br /><br />Some day I will plumb Wolf Hall for some of the best quotes and use them for a few blog posts.Gordon Chenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588151868151940982noreply@blogger.com
