I don't go online to find something I might like.<br /><br />Like at the moment I am looking for a walking frame for my father and need to know about design, etc. Whilst doing that, I found a 'handle' to attach to the wall of my shower recess which will help no end.<br /><br />I have been lax of late with my reading. Too much responsibility in the real world.

I'm going to go and see if I can hunt it down, as well as looking up Florence King. Thank you for reminding me of Shelley Berman, George. I haven't thought of him for decades.zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-87317078433477882752011-02-04T02:01:28.367+01:002011-02-04T02:01:28.367+01:00Flood events: a bit of Googling might find you Flo...Flood events: a bit of Googling might find you Florence King's "Gone with the Hurricane Conditions", a rendering of memorable lines from <i>Gone with the Wind</i> into the modern American vernacularGeorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.com
