Poor you! That's my online emergency plan to keep you warm...

It's an autobiography of his childhood/teen years...funny, but also quite touching.

Sounds interesting. Would you say that it's well written though? Or is it the contents that makes it fascinating? Unfortunately many biographies of are so badly written it's hard to enjoy them.

Pancakes for breakfast!

Good for you! *Turns green with envy*

Tony Perrottet - "Route 66 A.D.: On the Trail of Ancient Roman Tourists" "Perrottet traces the Mediterranean itinerary of the world's first tourists - the ancient Romans - with the help of an archaic guidebook from the era. His entertaining narrative is combined with a witty, intelligent discussion of ancient history and culture compared with our own lives today." What they forgot to mention that his "entertaining narrative" is also littered with xenophobic prejudices... the Italians are lazy, the Kiwis are constantly drunk, French tourists gather to sing "Frère Jacques", every inhabitant of Naples is a pickpocket ...

You are both very pretty - beautiful smiles.

...which may well have turned from "acute" into "general" by now...whatever - if you want to believe that there's some mystery reason behind Meg not wanting to go on tour that's fine with me. *Shrugs in a distinct 'can't-be-arsed-to-argue-about-things-that-neither-you-nor-I-can-be-sure-about' way*

I stated what acute anxiety can be. I'm sure only Meg can say how mild or severe it is in her case.
