Lovely piccies from my half term sojourn to Catalonian France!

Was SOOOOOOO not impressed by the Boutique Champignon- an entire shop devoted to mushrooms!!!!!! The sheer madness!!!!!!!!!!

Books

As November reaches its mid-point, with lots of things to say, but not the time and energy to craft it into some sort of coherent post, I instead look at my book progress- it has certainly slowed down in the latter half/third of the year (and I curiously can't work out which 2 books I have omitted to mention in my online record- my paper copy has 93 books on it!)- busier social life and constant work fatigue (manic business!) has rendered me less diligent in book progress- I however will plow on in order to achieve my target (like Steph/ven who has already achieved his and is storming impressively forward in his target list! I think I have also suffered from reading several books that do not capture my interest sufficiently- the below entries weren't so interesting as would be hoped (no. 91 is a book I am reading with my H.A. year 5's- it was the best of the lot!)- I am currently reading Swallows and Amazons (lent to me by another pupil) and whilst I am enjoying it, it hasn't intrigued me vastly, and I started Cranford and got 3 quarters of the way through and just switched off- pity as the BBC adaptation was great! I therefore need something to recapture my reading thirst! Any suggestions????
