I borrowed Debbie Harry's book 'Face It' before corona virus and have still got it at home as our library is letting people keep the books during this quarantine period. I'm in the middle of reading another book at the moment but am keen to get to it. Is it any good?

I love books but I try not to be become a hoarder so most of my copies are classical books that I know I will reread and use. <br /><br /> I honestly didn't think about turtle and tortoise in that way. I always said to kids that turtle is a word more commonly used in American English as opposed to tortoise in British English, but I forgot to mention the distinction between the land and water dwelling types. I need to remember that. I think I knew that that one would always say sea turtles and that it wouldn't be possible to say sea tortoise but I never really thought about it in detail. I think that in American English, they use turtle for both land and water dwelling types, at least in causal conversation (experts probably use more than one term or have more terms to difference between them).

Such a beautiful geisha you do make. I haven't watched previous 'The Real Marigold Hotel' episodes but though I'd give this new series a try. I always felt so sorry for Britt after she was unceremoniously dumped by Rod when she no longer became useful to him in America but she's a bit of a flirt with the men which is rather double-standard'ish of her, assuming her philosophy about the opposite sex is true.

When OH was repotting a plant to another pot in this lockdown period; he found three, admittedly very small, potatoes I had stuck in the soil last year...if we had left them I wonder how big they might have grown?<br /><br />I'm thoroughly enjoying The Marigold Hotel. Zandra Rhodes outfits and jewellery are fab. I saw her once many years ago when I was getting off the bus with my kids at Marylebone coach station.
