Busy Times

Will be interesting weeks ahead. It was an early trip to the airport this morning. Missus off to Brunei for a couple of weeks while the kids are left with yours trully to manage and feed! Today was already a busy day to start off with - going to the supermarket and kids going their separate ways. Fiz off to school as she was doing volunteer work cooking for the elderly, our youngest off to a skating birthday party and Zimah to the shop. Anyway, days ahead should be okay as the kids are more than willing to do their duties.

It has been a while since I got myself proper books to read. The former President Bush read 40 to 95 books a year. Even if you don’t like this guy, reading upto 95 books in a single year is pretty impressive. Most people don’t ever come close to that in a year. The average American adult reads 5-7 books per year. And one in four adult do not even read a single book in a year. So this is one of my quiter resolution for the year, to read even more books this year than before.
Saw a couple of those at the airport and they seem to be good reading for the next few days. The Penguin publication on the 'history of the Middle East' would be an awesome read. The other one is 'three cups of tea', should be a lighter reading, a true and uplifting story on a person's geneoristy and humanitarian spirit. The last one is an overdue book for reading - another of those booker prize award book.
