Do you live in Hackney?
..........
I live in Ilford Essex and work in london boroughs of Newham, Waltham Forest and Barking and Dagenham. Have had to go to Hackney for work here and there over the years. Always get lost but I have my sat nav now. Had to do some consultation work with patients when they were moving their community dental services in that very old hospital (St Leonards i think)To a new all purpose building with no thought given to parking.not so long ago.
Are you aware of Newham Parent Book shop? They support a lot of writers. Sometimes they organise readings which i have gone to. I love my books.

Its known by just newham bookshop. I was refering to its old name.
Yes, we "follow" each other on Twitter.
So you know the lovely Vivian. The women thinks I am mad as i keep going in to buy copies of the same book. I must have bought it 20 times!
What is this book you're so obsessed with? Do you keep buying it as presents?Quote:

Its ...the Boy with the Topknot by Sathnam Sanghera. I have got it as a gift for people many times over and also replace mine when they take it too.
Real life moving story with a lot of humour by a sikh Times newspaper journalist. First time I read a book I could relate to.

I had a look on Amazon - it looks like an enjoyable and interesting read. I'll have to see if my library stocks it.Quote:

I think.grass pollen is most common allergen.Quote:

If u put Allergic Rhinitis into search u might
find helpful info on.a health website.
I hope a solution is found for daughter soon.
My sister was told years ago when a teenager
that she was allergic to.her own perpiration!!
It caused dreadful rashes etc but it did stop.
The human body can do strange things.

Have you given up your telly work Parkerman?
I hope your daughter's feeling better. I've been having hay fever symptoms recently, and my asthma's been worse than usual (same for my mum), so we must be allergic to grass pollen too. It may be worse than usual this year due to the mild October we've experience.Quote:

I did'nt know they had pomegranates in Britain that early on. I thought they came from abroad.
Not yet, moonstorm. I've offered to be your partner on the new series, "Strictly Come Naked Dancing". :DQuote:

She does not want to leave though as she has lived here 50 years and lots of memories with her husband etc.
She is 78 and I am 48 but its like I am talking to someone my age. So age is irrelevant. She says she feels middle aged not old and that is how I see her. But her age hit home when I took her to see Englebert Humperdink at the Royal Albert Hall. Most people were there with their zimmer frames.

I used a netbook for years and it took some getting used to moving to a large laptop. :)Quote:

I have a 3000 word essay on Renaissance art to complete for Thursday... and procrastinating as usual I logged in for the first time in eons!
Hello everyone, new faces and old.
Amazingly I am now only six month away from completing my degree in classics and art history, I have also signed up for art classes at the ECA and my life is incredibly busy doing selfish, fun stuff like visiting art galleries around the UK and Europe on a regular basis.
Things have changed so much for me since I started the OU that I actually do not know any of the contestants on Strictly except Greg from Masterchef and Judy Murray :o
I hope that everyone is healthy and happy, Best Wishes Trinity x
Hi Trinity, Great to hear from you again and good news about nearly having completed your degree :)
This board has an echo...
Hi Perdy (and Parkerman)
Nice to hear from you too...gosh I can't think how long it has been. I am hoping to do an MA starting next year, I am on target at the moment, so failing an unexpected catastrophe I should be a student for a while yet :)
And has had for the last God knows how many years. Why this is the only Forum that has this problem I have never been able to fathom, nor why it cannot be rectified.Quote:

I now have 1500/3000 words and am on my final section of my assignment...honestly, I am such a procrastinator :o
So, where are Chloe, Jodie, Luna and Norman? ;)
Welcome back Trinity
Lovely to hear from you Trinity but back to work now!!!
