Reading ...

I finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns on the weekend ... it was the quickest I have read a book in ages ... it was very good.

I think I liked it slightly more than the Kite Runner but I loved them both.

The author writes so well and his books make you want to keep reading as you are never quite sure where the story is going to go next. Both books have that awful part of the story in them that you keep thinking about after you have read that part of the book.

I hope he has some more novels coming!

I decided to go for a lighter style of  read next.

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

I have had this book on the bedside table for a little while. I think it will be a good read.

I should get back to reading the Cookie Club but the story line is quite difficult to follow as there are so many characters in the book.

A lovely Sunday afternoon ...

Today we spent the afternoon over the road on the farm. The idea was to start chopping firewood.

For a little while it didn't look like we were going to achieve that but in the end we got a bit done!

We took the Weber Q and cooked a few sausages for lunch after a little bit of yummy cheese and biscuits!

Hannah, Lachlan and Jack had a go at taking a few photos!

Yes John and Rohan were there too but didn't manage any decent photos!!

Will add them if I change my mind!

One eyed supporters ...

The boys now all have their full outfits ... they usually suddenly decide that there is a game on in the back or front yard and off they go ... looking for their socks, shorts, guernseys, boots ... oh and most importantly a football!!
