A Town Like Alice, Last episode 21 of 21

21/ 21

Ah, fond memories of home! An Aussie classic.

Horus, you are a star!!!! I never imagined that it would be on Youtube! Wonderful man!

Your welcome, I hope you enjoy watching it again.

WI, I've been to your homeland twice but unfortunately have only seen Western Australia - so far! It's a wonderful and extremely beautiful country! I love it! One day I hope to go back and see more of it.

Thank you, RS, I can only agree! It's a long journey, but totally worth it, though I may be a tad biased. WA is a great place, I have relatives on both sides of the famiy there and always enjoy visiting, esecially Perth. It's a massively big country so one should always allow plenty of time to explore it's contrasts. Hope you get to go Downunder again. :clap2: :-)

Just finished drying my tears after the wonderful "After You'd Gone" by Maggie O'Farrell.

Sorry, I digressed a bit! Unintentional, I assure you all! WI, that sounds as though I need to get hold of that one! I do like a good 'weepie' now and again.

Ahhh brilliant book! Soooo what do you think happened to her at the end...as people that I know who have read it are split.....did she die, or wake up?

And I've dried my tears after reading "I shall not Hate" by Dr Izzeldin Abuelaish.

A true story about his life in Palestine and the death of his eldest 3 children and niece in 2009 in Gaza. It is a heart wrenching story of such a senseless conflict and the doctors loss. Well written and informative...just don't read it in public as I did.

As I am always a glass-half-full gal, of course she woke up, and developed a relationship with his father!

Na, I thought she died. What a fab ending to split the reader eh? Very clever!

I read "I shall not Hate" by Dr Izzeldin Abuelaish several months ago, was fantastic story. That poor doctor has really lived through hell yet he is so positive. He is a very exceptional man.

Just finished "The Other Side of the Bridge" by Mary Lawson. Unputdownable! Must get her first, "Crow Bridge".

I actually met him about a month or so back. He was a very gentle, humble man. I felt honoured to have been in his presence!

@Lisak - wow! I would have loved to meet him myself. I really enjoyed his book. It was very enlightening and he told his story well. I can't imagine living in such circumstances. His poor mom was a really strong woman.

I'm a sucker for travel books and I've just started reading 'Mirrors of the Unseen' by Jason Elliot. It's an account of his various travels in Iran. At first, I found it a bit hard going because there didn't seem to be any or little human contact but it's just started to pick up and I'm enjoying it. The only criticism so far is that the photos in the book are in black and white, but his descriptions are extremely vividly coloured. Being into graphics and design, I would have like some colour plates. Still, there's always the internet!

Like everyone else I know just finished reading Fifty Shades of Grey, not everyone's cup of tea & a long read but had to get it to see what al the fuss was about.

Wont being doing much reading this week cause I'll be too busy getting to know my new computer Roy bought for my birthday today.

Happy Birthday to me

Oh dear, Kiya! I'm so sorry I missed your birthday yesterday! Anyway, belated birthday greetings!
