The timetable for the 22 and 23 from Stratford-upon-Avon to Moreton-in-Marsh. Me thinks a visit The Bards birthplace is in order : Marlowe's Dr Faustus in Feb and Johnson's The Alchemist in May. Booking opens next week. Any takers?

I like the TV show Dexter so decided to read one of the books. I find the author's writing style absolutely insufferable. I think I'll stick with the show.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Picked up a couple of books today. Not Exactly, In Praise of Vagueness seems like the most interesting one.

Pratchett's The Thief of Time, part of his Discworld series. Really enjoying this one.
