Change of plans for this Saturday's meeting!

Saturday, February 7

Eeep!  Sorry for going a bit awol there Mrs R. I have not had the chance to read the new book for Feb, so I'll probably have to give it a miss.  We'll see about March, as that's on my grandma's birthday and I'll just probably have to see how I feel.

I'm sorry, but I am going to have to give this a miss until June, at least, as between work, studies and steady visits from people down south, I am going to be too swamped! Booh!

As an aside, I saw The Houding of David Oluwale:
http://www.wyplayhouse.com/events/event_details.asp?event_ID=639 
which is a play, based on local Leeds history and a book of the same name (written by a Canadian Brit!), AND the written play is the programme. It was a sad and deeply touching and some of the lines struck a chord with me, being an immigrant.
