Book a Week 2018 - BW29: Sonnet by Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson
Loesje22000 replied to Robin M's topic in The Chat Board
It never occures to me that summer could lead to higher electricity bills with no heating necessary, no need for a lot of warm food and hot drinks, no need for lightning the lamps, and other essentials to stay warm or having light, our summer electricity bills are on the lower side (we don’t have airco) we do have a higher water bill, even while we don’t water the garden. I am not shure how I should manage 43-45 degrees C in our current house. Maybe switching day and night rythm? -

We notice the increasing here too. But our former houses were cold (as in still wearing socks to keep my feet warm) Humid is a bigger problem indeed. -

Is this more standard to you? I think it is a terrible temperature we have some fans, airco’s are build in cars here, not homes. Our current living place has large and many windows, which is lovely to catch light during the other seasons, but it also makes this house very warm now... -

? The Glass Blowers: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10012048-de-glasblazers Last year I read a book about DuMaurier, and it described a lot of her books, so I made a list with wich ones I would like to read. This one she wrote in France and is partly about her ancestors if I recall it correctly. -

Glass blazing is an art isn’t it? so the book from Daphne du Maurier would count? -

I think I should try another moment of the day then. When my brains are not melting away. We know some people with African roots, and they assured me it is just like Africa now here... -

I didn’t experienced Avalon the same way as DH, but as he abandoned the book for that reason at the time, it seemed good to mention. Yes I liked the Vera Stanhope book, but it helped I knew the serie.. -

I finished several books last week: - Villa Rose a book that should have include the perfect recipe how to make ones own pasta - at sea (a junior high book) - murder ar honeychurch hall - a Vera Stanhope mysterie otherwise struggling with the emptiness of the summer season: almost no activities outside the home and too warm (for belgian customs) to work in garden. -

For the book to movie adaptation square, does a detective episode count? And is there a website otherwise to help with the square? Translations and movies come later here, so I can’t read & watch something very new -

On the left, under explore is tab ‘saved’ there you can find saved posts, one can even folder them ? we have required exams here, and I am therefore member of an exam facebook group. If people are talking about an exam we are preparing for, and they say something important or useful, I save their posts. I suppose it is comparable with an ACT / SAT / AP facebook group. (Supposing they exist)

One can save posts on facebook and unsave them. I use that with examtopics: I save posts during preparation time, and unsafe them when the exam is passed ?
