Enid Blyton wrote 21 Famous Five books… I don’t have to look that up, I just ask Helena. We are on book 14, we missed one, and had to get the library to order one because it wasn’t at either of the libraries we belong to. We may not have to read the last one…

dunno what to do? (16-8-18)
So we didn’t have a Monday meeting this week – it is when we talk about what we want to do for the week and it just means when we are at a loss I can say “well we said we’d do this.” Often we find we are allergic to what it was we said…
