Time to Read

 Last summer's reading..... 

I sat on the beach and tried to block out my surroundings by immersing myself in a few good books. Our holidays at the navy resort are at the end of summer. 

Families are home, parents at work, kids at school. We share the resort with pensioners, like us. 

 Although the elderly don't let out high pitched screams like small children, boy can they talk the backside off a horse...or is it the hind leg off a donkey. I had to look that up! 

The men tell tall tales about their days in the navy, the women gossip and all of them spend hours discussing ailments and medication. 

Thank goodness my sis in law, Karen, left me this book.  Ann Cleeves writes a great who-dunnit. You're not likely to guess the culprit

Thanks Karen mou. I've found a couple more of her books down at the book Exchange. 

Now I've found her books on YouTube.  They're audio books, narrated very clearly, not AI. 

I'm on the 3rd one now

Books I'll be reading at the Navy Resort this summer. One month to go!!! 

These 3 are true life stories

Memoirs 

Who-dunnitz

And this little gem with puzzles from the NZ Herald...... No! they are in the Listener. A magazine all kiwis will know, if it's still in publication. Thanks Chris for mentioning that 

I do the crosswords in pencil, leave them for a year or so, erase the answers and do them again

You're given one letter and solve the rest by yourself

This is printed in 2006, the last time I was in NZ. It's almost archaic
