I decided to go ebook only first time, but I am sure every disadvantage has its advantage as my hero Johan Cruijff once said. I might do a blog on his sayings in November!Kirsten Betthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550668028537655925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-88479389582871235022021-10-24T16:55:10.221+01:002021-10-24T16:55:10.221+01:00Thanks for your kind comments Wendy and Peter.

But do you know they cancelled that at the last minute??? Luckily a local pub stepped in and let me hold it there. Needless to say I never gave the library a copy of the book.<br /><br />I am going to keep your "Do's and Don't's" lists for future reference just in case.
