Ford every stream
Greetings campers. A good weekend I trust. Good one here, mainly for the fact that I finally ran out of excuses to not start the second novel. I know this all seems somewhat ridiculous given that the first one hasn't sold a single copy and given that it isn't out till March. It might die a death, it might be a Booker prize winner (no it won't) but I was told I had to start the next one. The nice people at the publishers want it by the summer (or sooner) but I have been vacillating and prevaricating (thank you spell check). But under pressure from Mrs M and an empty house, I finally managed a measly 450 words. Each one fought to stay unwritten but eventually I wrestled them free. Probably still pants however and will be excised by the all-seeing editor.
The other achievement was taking child 3 to see Tintin. As a kid I loved the TV series and this is lovingly moved to the big screen by Mr Spielberg. It's a bit stodgy in places but looks terrific.
So today we offer you Joe Simpson on the book club. It was 'Touching the Void' which brought him to everyone's attention but it is this novel we have chosen. It's called 'The Sound Of Gravity' and you can read the gripping first chapter here. We are back on the mountains for this one and it is worth your time I think. He really can write and it is powerful stuff.
We shall also be catching up with Friday's hero Andrew and his Badge No.7. I know (because his mum has tweeted it) that the badge was won but we'll found out more at 5.20.
And songs today I think for MOUNTAINS, MOUNTAINEERS and assorted climbing activities.
And then we are ready to go.
Have a bracing and enthralling Monday, see you after 5.

Loads for the NYM to go at so I won't bother wracking mi brain for more suggestions on today's theme.
Smashing weekend was had in this 'ere part of South Yorkshire. Only marred by the cancelling of elder boy's rugger match. The lad was gutted but hopefully another match will in the offing this coming weekend.
I have read Touching the Void and goodness me, it was a great! I felt like I was there. Not usually the type of thing I read not being remotely interested in Mountain climbing but I was recommended it by a work colleague who said (at the time) that it was the only book he had ever read all the way through. I think that is still true, lol.
Well, really should get on wi' a bit of work.

It is quiet today. That only usually happens when I'm around. See, it's not me that's the noisy one...
Julia #77 how exciting! Looking forward to hearing your news.

"No, I'm sorry but you're wrong" insists the teacher.
"Well" says the boy "when I get to Heaven I'm going to find Jonah and ask him!"
"And what if Jonah didn't go to Heaven?" the teacher asks.

DT team, bloggers old new and mature - and of course the Bard of R2, our estimed Leader the DT Dude..
Personally, I had the integrity_hash_fail (#22) when I tried to post so retired to Muggle world...poo
Looks like they've given it a kick start (maybe literally?) so it's working again.
It's just what you don't want on a Monday, eh?
Shame about the Welsh game, but I think a black rugby shirt will be much more becoming for our leaders' colouring.
I muggled Katie Melua and Crawling up a Hill - but was not sure it would fit the theme, unless Hugh Grant was invoved (see 'The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain')
Two o'clock already, & normally blog would be on t' second page by now!

Welcome to Amy_Eleanor - you really will enjoy it here.
My W word - WIRRAL. Although I am (happily) living in Halifax just now (long story!) - the Wirral is home and I miss it very much and love going back as often as possible to see family & friends.
