Reading - Sept hols, 2026
Wonderful story - so sad that they did not bring home the Australian or British horses from WW1.
I did not enjoy the Aussie-slang although it was an accurate depiction of the way ordinary farm boys would have spoken at the time.
This one was good, although a tad boring as one who knows the play well. Jackie French uses the lingo from the play, the words Juliet uses, adding her thoughts as a wilful young girl as well.
I enjoyed most the contextual notes at the end of the novel. She did depict Juliet as a woman ahead of her time, and ultimately successful in her striving for independence.
Loving this one - am just at the start - Chapter 2, as at 031026.

Locksmith
Had a rush of blood to the head, and have decided to get things fixed around here.
First to get my front door lock working and the screen door to the patio.
Called this bloke in Ipswich. Nice older guy. He came round in the arvo, and did a great job - only took minutes!

So, now I can give a set of keys to Mum.
Here is the receipt - he said he was honest and would guarantee his work. To give him a call if anything misfired. Great stuff.
