Big Freeze

Book club this evening was a good fun as usual; we were discussing Joan Didion's book "The Year of Magical Thinking" and we had a good talk about it and other books, then a nice coffee and chat. I do enjoy both of my book clubs. Nearly everybody had got a Kindle for Christmas so we were talking about their merits and disadvantages compared to traditional books. I love my Kindle and downloaded some more books onto it today. I was saying that it would be good if your Kindle could also be an audio book that you could listen to in the car, picking up from where you had stopped reading it, and someone said that the idea is already in development! The weather is still very cold, we are at the edge of Europe's current "big freeze". It is especially cold in Eastern Europe. Next week we will be going to Paris, which to my dismay is colder than Glasgow at the moment! Never mind, we will be going to lots of museums so we can keep warm there. When I got home James was practising the guitar and the boys were relaxing around the house. Alasdair had his heating turned right up so that his room was like a sauna, and Jack was stretched out very happily on his bed enjoying the heat! No big freeze here, just big fuel bills!
