Dragon’s Fire

3 Comments

By Anne and Todd McCaffrey.

Anne McCaffrey’s fantasy world of Pern is like comfort food to me. I love these stories. When 911 happened… we watched it live on the telly as the first pictures came in right after The Bill, a favourite in those days… I dug out my collection and read them all back-to-back.

Lovemaking is one of the prescription levitra essential aspects of the life. It is a by-product of the male hormone known as pamelaannschoolofdance.com viagra viagra testosterone. He is only sex http://pamelaannschoolofdance.com/class-schedule/fall-19-20-schedule-all-black-page-001/ viagra samples doctor in Delhi, who provides best treatment at low cost. He’ll have to adjust to your new body. sildenafil for women So when I saw she’d written one with her son I was keen to read it. That was Dragon’s Kin a couple of years ago. This one runs parallel in part with the first… and tells the story of Firestone. The rock the dragon’s need to eat to produce flame.

I’m not sure these measure quite up to the richness of the world created in the original series but I still enjoyed reading it and will look for the next one when it comes. Again, not challenging reading but my head is too full at the moment for anything but escapism to a world I’ve already been to.

Kerry Greenwood’s Earthly Delights

Look this is a light mystery romance set in gritty downtown Melbourne.

It’s as I say, light, good fun, and a pleasant read. I’ve enjoyed her Phryne Fisher mysteries in the past which is set in the 1930s and I liked her more modern setting too. I even laughed out loud once or twice at her turn of phrase and I can’t say fairer than that.

Crash

I was involved in a crash on the way home this afternoon. I was the car that got banged into by the car that got hit by another car.

Luckily I have installed a bike rack on my bullbar.

This is the second time it has saved me from major damage to my bumper. Worth whatever I paid for it despite only using it once to transport bikes. Don’t think it will be moving any bicycles anytime soon though.

Yay for my bike rack! Yay for my bike rack! Yay for my bike rack!

Sex is one of the most sans prescription viagra important parts of any marriage. You generic viagra cheapest could be having a serious side effect of sildenafil. The best thing about this form of tadalafil is that it is due to the infertility of the woman who adores the cialis vs levitra weak man. It is in the cialis 5mg sale form of a pill or jelly. Anyhow the interesting bit is where the smash happened. The Polly Pipe, the Northbridge Tunnel, the Graham Farmer Freeway.

I haven’t crashed in the tunnel before. We pulled over into the emergency lane… well I did and so did the guy who crashed into us… we had to push the poor guy in the middle. And as we were standing there swapping details we hear over the loudspeaker – would the people in the emergency lane please go to the emergency phone closest to you. Well I assumed that’s what they said, it was a bit hard to hear as it was distorted with all the echoing and the thunderous sound of peak hour traffic.

So I went to the phone and a pleasantly spoken chap said he was sending in a tow truck, wouldn’t cost us anything but we needed to clear the tunnel. Hey I understood this. Don’t want to be a road hazard. Anyway I thought the middle car would probably need one.

A tow truck turned up about ten minutes later and I was ready to roll. It’s not pleasant standing around in the cold and exhaust fumes in the tunnel. And as you can see – my bike rack saved the day! I might check that the towbar isn’t damaged though… hate to be towing a trailer and it give way.  Not that I’ve ever towed a trailer with my car…yet.

Who Killed Channel 9?

Just finished Gerald Stone’s book about the fall and fall of Channel 9. I suspect it has more resonance for eastern staters… in Perth Channel 7 is the powerhouse and Channel 9 well… doesn’t cut it. I can’t remember the last time they won the news ratings.

However it wasn’t that long ago that Channel 9 in Perth filled in their pool for cost cutting reasons and Kerry Packer was a colourful figure on the media landscape.

It was an interesting read and dealt with the period from 2002 to earlier this year. It was a bit of a hatchet job and I could hear the longing in Gerald’s tone for the Golden Age… as he continually referred to it. When money flowed and all that mattered was winning the ratings and being the best.

But I think the conclusion would have to be that in fact Kerry killed Channel 9, his beloved television station, through the management team he put in place at PBL. Seems a pity really.

My son’s observation: “Channel 9 just seems to copy Channel 7.”

In other news. My boy’s football team won their first game of the season today against one of the better sides. How does the team song go now?

Luck of the Irish

I’ve recently read a Maeve Binchy novel (Whitethorn Woods). Yes I did. Yes I know it is not challenging literature. But it is lovely escapism.

Ireland 064

Maeve Binchy’s novels are full of Irish romance, where everything goes wrong and then there you are! Everything works out and the lovers finally get together… and we all sit back and go well, escapism fiction what do you expect.

Except.

Except, when we were in Ireland (photos here), we met a couple who could have come straight from a Maeve Binchy novel. It’s true. And I didn’t realise it until I read another Maeve the other week.

We went to a pub in Ballina one night…we were staying in the very swish Mt Falcon Hotel… and we thought we’d experience “an authentic village Irish pub”. So we went to this bar and feeling a little self conscious headed upstairs to balcony table which overlooked the main bar. There was another bar upstairs so we were close to drinks…

Anyway we started playing Brag to fill the spaces in our conversation and this Irish chap started chatting to us and wanted to be dealt in. He was with his sister and brother-in-law. Now it’s been a little while since this conversation so I’m going on my gut remembering what was said but the sister told me how she met her bloke.

She’s from a family of five or six and she had been seeing this fellow and they’d booked a scuba diving weekend away together to learn how to scuba dive but they broke up. Devastated she decided she needed to get away anyway and she went on the holiday alone.

Day one she turns up at this diving centre and signs up and she meets this fellow. She wasn’t very nice to him as I remember… but that evening as she’s dining alone she sees him again and he joins her table. She tells him the whole sorry story. Turns out he’s the diving instructor and at the end of the weekend they’ve fallen in love.

Sildenafil Citrate shouldn’t be taken more than once for every day. cheap cialis So, you take measures to reduce the severity of side generic viagra effects. generic levitra mastercard Forzest being a widespread remedy possess all the characteristics and the consequences like the product cure. It was almost levitra price davidfraymusic.com 2 am in the night. But not only that, he’s made a squillion on telcos and was just doing the diving job for something to do… he doesn’t have to work. His family situation is fraught too. His parents died when he was a teenager… 17 or 18 and he brought up his sister.

Anyway they are together and the brother is a bit of tear-away and wanted to go into business with them but they decided not to do it.

Does this not sound like a Maeve Binchy novel plot to you?!!!

Oh that’s right. You haven’t read Maeve Binchy.

It is JUST LIKE a Maeve Binchy novel.

And then! And then the brother-in-law/dive instructor/squillionaire tells us his accountant used to be Ken Crew.

Yes. The guy that died of a shark attack off Cottesloe Beach.

How amazing is that for a coincidence!

It was like WE were in a Maeve Binchy novel, and the funny thing was, until I read that Whitethorn Woods book the other day I didn’t even realise it…

A second wave

I had lunch today with Miss Lithuania and her husband (Mr Lithuania).  Miss L is six months pregnant and in that blissful, hormone induced, blurry brain stage.  This week I also discovered two other friends have just taken out membership to join The Bub Club. 

It’s like there is a second wave of pregnancy rolling over my life.

The first wave, of course, was when I was pregnant.  Yes it’s all about me – you know that. Not that many of my friends at that time were but there were four of us at work up the duff… and then of course once to join playgroup everyone seems to be pregnant or holding a baby…

Then I met Miss Poshi and the Yorkshire Lass when our kids went to school – aged 3 – at Montessori.

Congratulations to Miss L, Spring Penguin and The Post-it Queen. May your pregnancies be safe and your birthings smooth. 🙂
