Now, I can't be bothered with a book that isn't good enough. Although my concentration and interest hasn't been up to my former standard for quite some time and I hope that will change. I've read two books from start to finish this week and have two more on the go, which is an improvement.<br /><br />I'd much prefer a bit more light in the winter afternoons, Liz, I'd offer a trade-off with Europe - we go with their time, GMT+1 if they didn't change the clocks biannually.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-26528875988301948342012-10-12T10:57:55.727+01:002012-10-12T10:57:55.727+01:00I don't know why we change the clocks at all. ...I don't know why we change the clocks at all.

Life's to short to read badly written books.
