This Blog will follow my adventures - well holidays really. Hopefully you will want to tell me what you enjoyed in the countries I have visited and maybe recommend places to go.

A Special Edition of the Blog for THE BOOK CLUB

Hello Girls,
Having a wonderful time, wish you were here!
Temperatures in the 30s every day. You never need a second layer at any time of day or night. Two thunder storms so maybe the weather has been very kind.
It is an amazing and vast city. Lots to see and do. We get one or two milongas a month in Nottingham, about 20 a night to choose from here! The styles are so different but the cultural differences more so.
Taxis are cheap and the underground even cheaper at 20 pence a journey, and fine for during the day. Taxis fly along with no lane discipline at all but a lot of respect for each other and little use of the horn. The pavements are terrible with piles of rubble where a paving stone has been removed.

The portenos are not as smart as I thought they would be but there are some fabulous shops. Every 10th shop sells the most amazing cakes!

The steaks are wonderful and a meal out is maybe half what you would pay in UK. Half portions of steak are on all the menus and that is as much as I can manage after not eating much during the day.
Enough of all that, how is the reading?

Girls?! THANK YOU Bob, it's been a while since anyone referred to us as that... Sounds like you're having good, cheap fun. But more to the point, what did you think of Virginia Woolf's "To The Lighthouse"? And what score did you give it out of 10? What, have you been too busy to read it? We'll post our comments after Wednesday, on www.roundnottingham.co.uk/rghome.asp

Hi Girls

Dont believe a word he says - I have been with him for two weeks and he has never had a day when he has not eaten lunch and pudding!! His waist is expanding an alarming rate!

PS Add 'Sister' by Rosamund Lupton to your reading list.
PPS Bob has not done his homework - he did not read "To The Lighthouse"
We have given him detention!

Lesley's comment was much appreciated by the "girls" at Reading Group. Hope you enjoyed detention Bob!
Thanks for the terrific sponsorship for our "Strictly Learn to Dance". I've never been asked for a private performance before - but assume you'll expect my husband to be there! We need lots of space so I can imagine dancing in the street after Reading Group...
