British Summertime clocks fall back



The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl Who Played wuth Fire



Wild wet and windy again but I went on my bike ride, as I  had set myself a task  and I saw it through.
Kept up with everyone and really enjoyed myself ,the only thing  was my bottom was sore for days afterwards. My second ride was much easier,the weather was fair and there was no wind this time.   Incredibly we have had  some  warm sunny days I have been  able to mow the grass, the gardener didn`t come as promised, oh well at least the garden is  sorted for the winter. I hope that was the last mowing until the spring though... The clocks have gone back one hour this morning Sunday 30th October,  now we have less daylight time and the nights will  seem endless, its so depressing. I wish they  would leave the clocks alone.. they keep threatening but its still happening.

 (this website will explain in more detail why we have British summertime.)

Met up with my school friends for lunch last week. During the summer there is always someone away on holiday and I haven't been around for ages, but we had a full house,ten this time and lots of  news to share.  Its been rather quiet otherwise, I have settled into  reading the Girl Who Played With Fire, it’s the second novel in  the Millennium Series by the Swedish writer Stieg Larsson who sadly died after finishing the Millenium Trilogy.  I enjoyed reading  `The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ on my Kindle and  have downloaded this  next book from Amazon for £3.50 a real bargain.  I find the Kindle so easy to read, I  carry it around in my bag for those moments when I can relax and read a chapter or two.
Managed to get to the cinema to see the film “Anonymous”  an excellent film, which I  would have enjoyed  much more if the film hadn’t  repeatedly jumped back and forward in time, I was constantly uncertain who was who until the very end. May be I need to see it again.  Whether fact or fiction the film raises the issue on who  was the original author  of all  Shakespeare’s  work,it certainly makes you doubt history.
