I’m returning but not fully refreshed as I had hoped ,but as many of you may know my wife has just returned home after a nine-day stay in hospital, so the time I had off from work to try to sort out my blog and the review backlog has gone on the back-burner .But I have learnt one thing about what is important about blogging to me and that is the nice people I ve met via blogging and there support over recent weeks has been wonderful via twitter and email .So I will be return this week I ve a hug backlog of books but have decide to read Proust all in one go in December as I had planned to read him this year reading it all in one go will give me time to catch up .So I’ve managed to read three of the booker shortlist whilst I ve been away and been making small plans for German lit month .I’ve a song that means a lot to me and Amanda here and so What you all been up to ? I may take a while to get through all your blogs and comment please bare with me .

Oh Stu, I don’t always go on Twitter so I had no idea that your wife has been in hospital – and for so long. No wonder you were feeling a bit overwhelmed. I do hope all is on the mend now and wish you both a wonderful mellow autumn.

Hope your wife is feeling better and stronger. All the very best.

So glad Amanda is back home with you. I wish I had the nerve to take on Proust!

You already know my answer & it’s the same as always CHILL & the end of the day the blog is a hobby, family comes first. Hopefully Amanda will continue getting better, with your love to support her & when you have spare moments blog, but most importantly enjoy it & all you have.

So please that Amanda is home and will send good thoughts her way. I could not read Proust much to my mother’s dismay – hopefully someday I will manage.

Stu, seems like you are doing quite well on the book front, despite the difficult time you must have had. Take it easy, no pressure to return to full force blogging 🙂
