I should write a catchy little paragraph to make me sound interesting, and might make something up, but for now: Love making stuff up (British Detective), being a grandmother, dog mum, and wasting time on social media. https://www.mkturnerbooks.co.uk

You're in for a treat when you do. Fabulous acting.

Can't decide which I like best, a mispronunciation of scones or a condescension of mansplainers. πŸ˜‚

Too Many Times off on a blog tour.
I think JJ is a little nervous and Davie is trying to work out how to get a job out of it. Let's hope neither has anything to worry about.

It's a tough question. But I think it's Skid Vicious for me.

I think I'm going to give it a go. I like most things on your dad's list. It might not be too healthy, but it's not wrong.

As a Brit looking in, me neither. That said we seem to have had six PMs in as many weeks!

I'm so sorry for your loss πŸ˜ͺit's tough when you lose your father. But I should confess I'm off to Google Nescafe Irish Cream packets. I have no idea what they are, but I think I should.

Loved House, had forgotten that, now I'm questioning my selection!

Think anyone who doesn't like Grease must be missing a vital link somewhere ;)

Off the Wall was one of our favourite albums we had in my first flat share. Luckily our neighbours loved it too, ashamed to say it was 'borrowed' from a workmate and never returned, but in my defence when we left it didn't end up in my collection.

Loved Dancing with Wolves - more so since I saw an interview with Kevin C about how he came to make it.

It's a basic fact that you can spend Β£9.99 on a good book that could last you a few weeks (if you pace yourself).

It's really quite the investment to be taken away on a fantastic journey or grow to love a character. Or learn new things.

It's also fairly cheap way to keep your brain healthy.

Yes, it's been a tough few weeks. We lost Archie on Halloween, but it's been worse for Ted than us. Archie was his littermate, and they had never been separated. We've barely left the house as we don't want to leave him on his own :(

Had three dogs two years ago, and this month we find ourselves left with just this old boy. Ted. 10.5 years old, 47 kilos, with a little arthritis, but still as soppy as ever. Picture of Me with my large GSD lapdog.

A man turns to a woman and asks "Who's that?"
"He asked." adds an odd figure standing across the room, wearing a top hat and holding a cane.

The woman answers "It's the narrator. He's been following me around all day.
Commenting on everything. It's very annoying!".
"She said ungratefully." says the narrator.

The couple shout "Get out of our house!" 
"They shouted cruelly at the unfortunate narrator who was only doing his job." says the narrator as he leaves.

"And that, dear reader" says the narrator, now standing in the dark garden watching the couple through a window "was the exact moment when I decided to become the sort of narrator who turns out to be the murderer."

I am seeing a lot of them. Wondering if ticking the 'likes animals' tab was wise, on balance I decided yes, because DOGS. :)

I think we all need someone like that! I'd apply, but I think you'd end up slapping me instead!
