Week 5 completed!

52 new going well, although my reporting of the 52 new v. bad. Today Saf and I ate brains. Brains are under the cleverly disguised name of "sweet bread". There is nothing "sweet" or "bread" about brains but they are not too bad. Tastes like chicken! Last week our new was games night at Saf's. Not sure how that was new to me but I'll take it. The week before that we hand waved at church. Saf went first, waving one hand about half way up and then slowly got it all the way up. The song was ending and I hadn't joined in so in a moment of panic I thrust both hands all the way up in the air. Saf said I was an overachiever. Humph! So, now you are caught up on all the excitement of our 52 new!

52 new....week one complete!

52 new is upon us and week one has been successfully completed! OK, so I may have picked an easy new thing for week one but, in my defence, I was sickish. Am much better now. So, my first new thing was to read a new author. So I read a book called Two Rivers by T. Greenwood. Excellent book. So glad it read it. Wish I could remember what it was about! Well, I read it two books ago. Really doing a lot of reading in January. Wait a minute...I think it's coming back to me........it's a flash back book....oh yeah, it was about a man who was raising his daughter on his own because his wife had died the same day the baby was born. There is a train crash in his town and a pregnant 15 year old girl wants to stay with him and his daughter. There are flash backs to the time he met his dead wife and how they came to be in a relationship. An outstanding book. Loved it. Finally, a new good author. Very exciting cause she has written other books. One week down. Fifty-one to go! Stay tuned for next weeks exciting new thing!
