My book no 30 is The Shakespeare Secret by JL Carrell. Evidence has come to light about the true identity of William Shakespeare but suddenly people are being murdered in ways similar to Shakespearean plays. A lot of codes have to be unlocked on the way to discovering the secret. This was quite disappointing and lacked the courage of its convictions. Just an attempt to repeat the success of The Da Vinci Code.
Book No 31: American Gods by Neil Gaiman. A few days before he is due out of jail, Shadows wife is killed in a car accident. While unhappily on the way to her funeral, Shadow meets the mysterious Mr Wednesday who claims to be a god. Telling him that a great battle is brewing, Wednesday offers Shadow a job helping him round up the rest of the American gods for the fight. This book won four awards: 2 Science Fiction awards, one award for Horror and another for Fantasy. It was definitely one of the best books I have read all year; the amount of feeling and spirituality bubbling away on the surface is pure poetry. Shadow is a wonderful charactisation of an ordinary man who is more than he appears.
My sister lives alone in Dublin and she goes hill walking with various groups. She also goes on walking holidays around Europe with them. Dont know where she found them to begin with but she has been doing it for years and has loads of friends.
I would never have such high expectations after one date. I would think your friend could end up having the same kind of experience over and over again. I tend to keep my expectations very low for a first meeting but I sometimes do get more nervous over a second date.
I dont see the difference between a dating site and a social networking site where most people are single and looking. I would much prefer to chat and socialise with people and get to know them then consider I am putting my profile up to be judged merely on whether or not I am good dating material. Most of us on here are more than what it says on the tin (or profile!)and chatting and going to the meets is a good way to find out more about each other. JMO
She is plagued by men but she is madly in love so she doesnt really notice them. Bless Her, she is completely unaware of how pretty she is and is always worried about how she looks. Her boyfriend is GORGEOUS as well. They are both SO nice. I should get them to come to the Cork meet
Somtimes when we have kids (and other things bothering us) we can step back a little from relationships for short periods of time. We need that space to tend to the kids and ourselves. We cant tend to our guy/girl at the same time. Hess gave good advice. Text her, but keep it light, and promise her some TLC the next time ye meet up.
