I've read all those and I think that's the only reason I can stand to watch the series - it's purely awful Australian TV at it's best in my opinion - bad lines, bad acting and utterly gorgeous sets!The Grande Damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346770341514368106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552352267836403726.post-60632899684495920362012-04-15T19:42:09.548+10:002012-04-15T19:42:09.548+10:00Wonderful all over, my dear Desiree.

Haha! <br />Is petti-skirt a real term or a Desiree-ism? I love it! I think I'm going to wear mine on its own, they are too beautiful to hide under something else all the time.<br />I reckon a turban speaks of literary talent. And comic book leggings scream comic genius!<br />So - books. Ahh, reading is such a joy, yet I'm a bit like Krista, I get through lots on a voracious roll for a while, then I stop and crawl through one book over a matter of weeks. I think my brain can only take so much. I was going to set myself a task of reading various classics which I am ashamed to say I never got round to before (and me an English Lit graduate...) but I've just stuck to my usual mix of crime, thrillers and the occasional attempt at "proper literature".
