I’m still reading but sometimes I like to catch up with the odd audiobook or two.
I’ve found a new source for free audiobooks.
The aptly named Books Should Be Free offers a selection of titles that you always wanted to read but never had the time to.
Go check it out today.
Hmm -still not brilliant.
Morning of working as much as I can.
Afternoon of blokey films and sleeping.
Now that’s the point of having a male cat…
I thought I could walk it off but it seems this isn’t the result of a bad night’s sleep.
I need to try to get through work and retire to the sofa …
Listen much to 6 Music ?
Ah – didn’t know it existed ?
I guess you are one of the many people without a DAB radio then.
I bet the fact that it is being closed came as a surprise to you then, didn’t it ?

Hang on – there’s a problem with the logic isn’t there ?
First thing this morning : “I’m so happy with have a different cat, one who is more independent”, said K

That’s been the challenge today …
On this World Book Day I’m trying to make a commitment.
Not one of those book-a-week commitments but a book-a-month one that will, hopefuly, mean the pile of unread books by the bed finally make it onto a shelf.

BBC News – China raises profile of Dalai Lama rival ‘Panchen Lama’
China has appointed its choice of Panchen Lama, traditionally the second most important man in Tibetan Buddhism, to a top legislative advisory body.
Reported by state media, it raises the profile of China’s rival to Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, whom China considers a dangerous separatist.
