I finished my book, 'Turning Point' by Freya North this morning. Well, it's been a while since a book made my eyes fill... but I'm glad I read it. I'll reread it sometime for sure. It's a romantic story, a fair bit of sx but I tend to skip past those bits to get on with the story.

All the same, reading was a good way to fill another cold dreary morning. I was resigned to more of the samey grey weather, but then, unexpectedly, the sun shone for an hour and it was like that moment in 'The Wizard of Oz'
Do you remember the first time you saw it? At my convent prep school, they used to show the whole school a film as a treat on Mother Superior's Feast Day. It was usually one of Bambi, Alice in Wonderland or The Wizard of Oz. I found all of them too scary and frightening and spent most of the time under my chair trying not to watch, so I have very patchy memories; the Cheshire Cat, none of Bambi, and the bit where they sing 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road. And, of course, the bit where Dorothy opens the door and the disappointingly black-and-white film becoming brilliant colour.
