Hi tarkine, totally understand the hermit thing, been there myself recently.
my favourite novel is Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" also loved pride and prejudice never got around to the others cause I then discovered Harry Potter (total tragic I know!!!!) have been addicted to Harry's journey re-reading my books everytime a new book was to be released or a new movie due out think I've read each of them 4 times now (except for the last one which I read once then my brother borrowed it and gave it to my SIL and it is now MIA)
totally sad that my Harry adventures have come to an end haven't really found anything to catch my interest since.

We have just visited my new nephew he slept the whole time he's very cute though.

and we went to the pet shop to buy some replacement fish for Paige, then to spot light to buy some tulle and elastic to make an anti fishycide net for the top of the tank ($35 for 7 fish and two weeds????)
we lost another fish yesterday but it was my fault I hadn't cleaned the filter out in a while.
now she's gone off to sleep for her arvo nap I'll see if I can sneak in and change things around in the tank, talk to you a bit later on
cheers Allie
