Yes these things are impossible to prove. Still it doesn't matter, the story stuck with me enough to go and try it. Now I have lipstick!

You put me on to cherries in the snow and that led me to a post about Sylvia Plath wearing it (maybe you linked it?) I rarely wear lipstick but on Friday I bought CITS, applied it there and then and walked out feeling great! Thanks. www.lunalunamagazine.com/blog/sylvia-...

Reading The Mirror and the Light. 875 pages. Sublime writing but struggling to hold it in bed!

One of my top 5 books ever.

To add. I did query this novel some years ago and has some v good rejections and have since rewritten and improved.

I'm just about to start querying a novel that's taken years to write and I really don't know if I have it in me. Part of me thinks to self publish with proper editing. Still a lot of work, still hit and miss but it's in my hands. Thoughts?

Haha mental decline! I obviously need to do more word games!

I always read and particularly like ones that talk about the way the book came about etc.

I've just done all of November and half of October. At least I'm warding off metal decline!

I read the wonderful Even the Dogs on a beach in Greece. I wouldn't say it was an ideal holiday read but it's a great book.

I rarely wear make up and when I do it's just eye shadow and mascara. The last foundation I bought was in 2011 for my wedding but recently (at 64), I've got a hankering for a bright lippy and a bit of a glow. No idea where to start. Do like the look of the Jones road. I need taking in hand!

Sounds great but I've just looked up the transport from Lancaster and it's 2 trains and a bus- over 4 hours! I'd have to stay over 2 nights. Tempted though...
