First letter meme gacked from brumeux7 and his missus, and mrsquizzical and shocolate before that, because I didn't think it looked too hard, although I will admit that E is considerably easier than Q.

If someone wants to choose a hard letter, like X or Z, I'll have a go with that too.

I enjoy this meme, and I've done it twice before: Round 1 and Round 2, so here we go again with the 2009 remix, because I know what I like with or without avocado puree :-)

Warning, eclectic mixture, in no particular order - some may be somewhat obscure ;-)

When you see this, post your favourite poem in your journal.
( Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson )

I iz back - Christmas was peaceful and good = skiing was fun and even better we have returned with a full complement of limbs attached (see this time last year if that makes no sense).

Has anyone but me been watching Maestro! - the learn-to-be-a-conductor reality TV series, Tuesdays on BBC2?

Last night, after eyeing the weather suspiciously, we went to see "A Comedy of Errors" in Robinson College Garden - which was a suitably enjoyable farce of mistaken identity, unsubtle innuendo, random fighting and running around screaming.

A first lines of books meme, because I like quizzes, and books, copied from anazri and suzie_shooter ♥

1. Choose, by random means if at all possible, ten books that you have read recently.
2. Post the first sentences of every book in your journal and invite your f'list to guess at the title and author of the book.
