Dear Bookgroup,


I am going to jump a head and suggest a book for our next meeting in December.


It's The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's a fantastic book, I couldn't put down. Wonderful stories of ogres pixies and dragons, King Arthur and a knight Sir Gawain, Merlin the wizard and warriors.


Of course this is only a suggestion and we can be open to other books.


We normally have an end of year meal and I would like to this year but please let me know how you feel about it, probably in Tandoori Night or the Chinese in Lordship Lane,


both excellent restaurants.


So please let me know about both and especially the meal.

Dear book group,

I am going to jump ahead again and suggest another book. Some of you will remember Evie Wyld and her first book After The Fire, A Still Small Voice:

https://www.theguardian.com/.../after-the-fire-still...

which she came to discuss.

And All the Birds, Singing which we read and Evie came to a group meeting:

https://www.theguardian.com/.../evie-wyld-birds-singing...

And her third book is out now, the Bass Rock:

https://www.theguardian.com/.../the-bass-rock-by-evie...

If we read this she will join in one of our zoom meetings so keep it in mind.

It doesn?t have to be our next book but if no one has anything desperate to read we could read it for our February or March book.

Look forward to seeing you all at the next meeting,

Chick.

Thanks again to Sahar for providing the link, I'll send it on Tuesday.

All the best,

Dear book group,


Evie Wyld will be joining us 30th March.


She has a colourful past growing up Australia in a sugar cane farm. Her English family were quite posh living I think in Salisbury or somewhere like that in complete contrast to her Australian family.


Do try and join, this will be good meeting.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Pugwash · Posted

      James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.

      Podiatrist

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Bowley Close at Crystal Palace has a NHS  specialist Orthotic clinic - I have to wear specialist shoes and they take all the measurements to send off. for shoes to be made, You will need a GP referral My grand daughter is in her 2nd year degree in Podiatry and she usually does my feet, As she does not live locally, there are times when I need to go to the Woodwarde  Road, Very expensive and prices change in accordance to whom you see,  Last time I went they told me I had a verruca and needed treatment which I noticed on their price list, was over £100. Consulted my grand daughter, who examined my foot and advised that verruca was very small and looked as though it would go away itself. She checked my feet a couple of months later - no sign of a verruca.
