Nothing in my mailbox and the week has been hectic.
I have a couple of new books but I have gone back to re read a Rosy Thornton
Right now I have far too much work on my hands! I also have a wedding to plan. My second daughter Shivanthi is getting married in September. She lives in Australia, her fiancee is in Ghana and the wedding here is in Sri Lanka. Lucky for me, she is very easy going and is perfectly willing to leave the details of picking out stuff to me. Having done this once before for my eldest daughter, I am just pulling out the notebook I have and using the same vendors for the second!
Though the New Year is now over, things will only start today in actual work terms. So there is backlog of stuff to attend to. On top of it all, Colombo is suffering, really suffering from a heat wave which does not show any signs of breaking. We have had showers in some areas in Sri Lanka but not in Colombo. By 2 pm everyone is inert and inactive!
Getting back to books though I am inactive in that area myself, I am still visiting the blogs as I do love to see what everyone else is reading!
Have fun wedding planning! It's been hot here too- hope it cools off for you soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :)
It's fun to re-read a good book! Comfort reading, it is.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all the wedding preparations involving three countries and many people. I'm sure you'll do a good job!
Goodness me that sounds like it will make for some complicated wedding arrangements! Congratulations though!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find some time to read and I wish you rain!
Have a great reading week!

Enjoy the reread. I liked that Rosy Thornton book.
ReplyDeleteI was the first of 6 daughters to marry and I know my mother referred to her notebook for each wedding :) Hope the plans are stressfree for all.
I enjoyed the Rosy Thornton book. Have fun wedding planning :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Tapestry of Love...and Ninepins by the same author.

I read that first paragraph and thought "That sounds like a book I'd like" before I realized that it was actually your life! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI have The Tapestry of Love on my bookshelf but have yet to read it. This makes me want to get to it sooner than later. Hope everyting goes smoothly with the wedding plans.
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes well with the wedding planning and that you get a break from the heat soon!
ReplyDeleteA Tapestry of Love is a good one to prepare for a wedding. Congrats to you nd your daughter.

Uggh I don't cope well in heat like that, hope there's some relief soon. Another wedding, how exciting .. good luck with all the planning. Will they be living in Australia after the wedding?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're getting off pretty easy in the wedding planning. Good thing you kept your notes. I hope the heat breaks soon there. I'm just ready for the chilly weather to move on out of here. Warm days keep teasing us but then we cool back off. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteJust finished reading Knots and Crosses and started Haunted Ground.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is getting married this year too (in July). She is only 30 mins. away. I can't imagine the planning when you are all in different countries. Have a grea time with all the plans!
