  2. Radio four book club today at 4.00pm
  3. I am not talking about my path, but pavements that are treacherous. It isn?t unreasonable to expect the council to grit the roads which at least would make it safer.

  16. Dear book group, I have had a look at "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and it's over 500 pages so I sugest we do "A Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. We can do "For Whom The Bell Tolls" another time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World About our man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley Our next meeting will be February 14th in the Clockhouse upstairs in the Blake room. For those of you coming to the BBC on Thursday please can I have your two questions? And we have to be at Broadcasting House at 5.00pm. We will be fineshed by 7.00pm and then there is the Korean restaraunt if you like. It's very reasonable and the food is superb. A big welcome to Jacqueline! All the best Chick.
