My pile of reading for France includes:
- Guidebooks and phrase books - gosh that A level French is very rusty! I also have a big problem thinking metric, I always struggle at the food markets with how many grammes and kilos I need. Crazy that I still think in pounds and ounces. I'm like my gran who still converts everything into shillings and pence!
- The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid - read a few interesting reviews of this
- A History of Modern Britain by Andrew Marr - have been waiting for this in paperback
- The Camomile Lawn by Mary Wesley - I can't wait to read this again! I love a bit of romance on hols!
- Dirt Music by Tim Winton - I was living in Sydney when this came out but working for a rival publisher so had so many freebie books to read I didn't buy any while there. I must've been one of the few people in Aus who didn't read it
- Donna Hay magazine - summer issue, perhaps some inspiration for the wonderful ingredients we'll find at the markets
- Dora Summer Annual - a necessary evil I'm afraid (actually I don't mind Dora that much and Olive does love her)
- Leonardo the Terrible Monster - we love Mo Willams all the way up to the sky and back again! We were introduced to him via the Knuffle Bunny by our dear friends the Sydnenhams who now reside in Melbourne - we miss you heaps guys!
- Vanity Fair - thanks for the tip Victoria!
That's that sorted - can someone make the rain stop now? I am checking the
Meteo website on a daily basis and starting to fear that my newly purchased Zimmerman swimsuit may not be necessary. Please, please, please switch on the sun! The summer is looking ominously like last year...

The idea of being able to do that much reading - lucky you! Tell me again where you're going, I'm such an airhead right now, nothing stays in this head of mine.
