This story was one of my favourites, and it was one of the first books I remember my dad reading to me in bed, which I couldn’t wait for the next chapter.

It’s going well, and I really want to follow some of the advice and exercise techniques they talk about, as the logic behind them seems good. Now just to fit it in :)

Pippi is actually quite funny in her ignorance. I didn’t really know much about her before I started reading this book, but she’s a lot of fun. On hearing you have to pay to go and see the circus, she clamps her eyes shut, thinking everything you see, you must pay for. Then when they get to the circus, there’s an old lady sat giving out tickets and Pippi says “How much is it to look at you?” :) Love it.

It’s hard going, the writer’s main character is a writer, who spends a long time talking about writing, and how one doesn’t enjoy or dislike writing, it just happens. Which is hard for me to grasp, the whole book is a little like this, but I’m persevering, nonetheless.

I liked it, but there was a big feeling of urgency in the film, like they couldn’t speak fast enough – was there a time limit on the film or something? It made it rather hard to follow at times, but oh well.

Connie and Carla sing at their local airport (yet not very successfully), but when they see someone they know get shot, they have to go on the run. As they are singers, they want to find work in that field, but it’s going to be difficult, since the guys after them know what they look like. Then they find a very good way to disguise themselves :)

The plot is very much like ‘Some Like It Hot’, and it’s just as silly and fun.

This was one of my favourite albums as a kid. I liked pop a lot back then, and even now it makes me smile when I hear an Ace of Base song :)

All these books are gems. They’re compact, cost around £6, and have a full colour picture for each recipe, with kcal/protein/fat quantity information too. These books are a great way to get into cooking, I own four of them so far.

Like most factual books of this nature, they make me rather angry. And also, I don’t much like the policeman author, as he seems to have given up, and, like most other policemen, is lazy. Never really wanting to solve anything, just complaining about the current situation. And it annoys me that he is this way when the people he admires are people in the force who have tried to stand up and make a difference. But I will finish it, I promise. It’s very rare I leave a book unfinished.
