Engeleneiland ~ Camilla Läckberg
(orig: Änglamakerskan - Engl: Buried Angels)

Good start with a high quality thriller. Great storytelling, suspense and a surprise ending - as one expects from Läckberg.

I don't mind the new #Lynley as in it's a decent detective series. But it's NOT our Lynley. Everything in the back story is wrong. How, when and where he and Havers met, where are they, why is it not London or Cornwall. What's this about Helen being "an old class mate"?? 🤔

@mustbejp @theatre_weekly Ooooh, that is fabulous to hear! 🤩🤩

[Martine @Zoetjetoch]

@mustbejp Thank you so much again for being so generous with your time and your kindness. It's hard to express how much it means.

The Code is one of those plays that will stick with me.
As will you, dearest... ❤️ #biglovealways #johnnysBelgianarmy

For those claiming Strictly has ‘gone woke’, drag queens have been on TV for decades. No one cared when Edna was on TV when I was young. We’ve just regressed massively as a society and are now offended by things that weren’t an issue years ago #Strictly #SCD #StrictlyComeDancing

@NMBS In Gent. Trein naar Poperinge 12 minuten vertraging. App zegt "dit traject is niet meer mogelijk". Geen verdere uitleg. Wat wil dat zeggen? Tot waar rijdt de trein? Geraak ik thuis? Wat duidelijker communiceren zou veel helpen!

.@mustbejp The Belgians are in the house... !! #thecodeplay
Merde, as we say! 🍀❤️

[Martine @Zoetjetoch]

@mustbejp See you very soon!

[Martine @Zoetjetoch]

@StuartHumphryes As a (Flemish) Belgian I immediately recognised this as Belgian, before I read the caption. It looks sooo familiar! Thank you for sharing!

@Anne_Brussels @mustbejp Can't wait! This really made my day!

I haven't watched #EastEnders for over a year (life and all that), but all the comebacks have lured me back. It feels like I've gone back in time, having a reunion with a bunch of old friends. And I remember why I love this show so much. Today was incredible! #EastEnders40

#book2of2025 In Memoriam ~ Alice Winn.
This book will stay with me. Devastating and breathtakingly beautiful at the same time. 17-year-old best friends Ellwood and Gaunt enlist to fight in WWI and don't just have to face their worst fears but also their feelings for each other.

@IslaHammon Wow! 🤩

@Walescrazy Right? 😁😍

Perfectly normal to cure your frustration/anger/stress by buying books.

16 days in... and all my best intentions are out the door. Other people buy expensive clothes or eat away their stress...
I go to the charity shop to buy books 📚

Just spent half the afternoon listening to some IT guy mansplaining to me how my job which he knows nothing about and I have been doing over 15 years will be so much more "today" if I just accept the random changes he made to our software that will make my job 10x harder. 🤬
