Herscue Bergenstreiml - When Herscue Met Jomphrey and Other Tales from an Aspie Marriage

 A book about a woman's marriage to an autistic/asperger husband. I started reading it thinking I was recognising myself. But after a little while in thought I'm pretty mile compared to this chap. Then through the rest of the book, I was recognising Sue's Alan! Whoops. I didn't expect that, but he came through surprising loud and clear.


John Julius Norwich - A history of Byzantium


Wow, a long tale of death and distruction. Just an awful history for killing in the name of greed and/or religion.


Holidays - the second week now disappears...

So it's Sunday evening. The first of July and we're back to work tomorrow.

It's been hot and sticky. We're both a little burnt and peeling, and tired too!

Saturday 23rd - Just mooched really. Did some food shopping and went into Town for lunch

Sunday 24th back to London for the Cure concert. That was Sunday night and hot. The gig was excellent if a little long. It went on for 2 1/2 hours and was mostly stuff we didn't know. So mixed feelings really.

Monday 25th - To Liberty's and Selfridges. Still in this not spending phase and was really put off by the obscenity of what people are buying. Just stuff that isn't needed and won't be appreciated. I did though buy two cheap white non-work shirts: part of new image. Then train back to Norwich.

Tuesday 26th - To the boat. Hot! We went from Coltishall to St Bennet's Abbey for the overnight. Very good journey and a peaceful nights (early) sleep

Wednesday 27th - On to Potter Heigham and filled up with water. Then under the bridge for the first time. About 6ft 4, so not a problem. On to Hickling for a couple of pints at lunchtime. Then, it was still early, we came back and stayed overnight at Womack Island.

Thursday 28th - We're both fairly burnt and hot. Pootled all the way back to Wroxham for a coffee and then home. We came back a day earlier than planned simply due to the heat.

Friday - Sunday - just stayed around Norwich. Had a mooch with Rachel on the Saturday (Simon had car trouble). And now winding up for work tomorrow
