Edward.

Great that tops the evening off.

Urban Fantasy I like the Dresden Files, Daniel Faust by Craig Schaefer and also The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne.

Putting people in empty hotel rooms isn’t solving homelessness.

Homelessness isn’t just classed as street homeless though and not all street homeless people were housed.

It might not be a lifestyle choice, but it has become some peoples lifestyles and incredibly difficult to turn around. I've met people who have got to the point where they can't be bothered to turn it around and life as crazy as it seems to us is much easy living "outside Asda". I have also met and worked with many more who have turned it around, only to find it too difficult and have ended up back on the streets and I have worked with people who after spending many years homeless are in accomodation of varying levels. Accomodation can also be pretty crap, and scary too. I think I have worked in pretty much 90% of the homeless hostels in the North East and very few if any I would want to spend the night in, often the safest place to be is outside Asda.

I say chaos and malevolent how you read them.

I'll look into it. I'm not sure I'm into this genre of books to be honest. I didn't really like his style of writing either. I watched the first episode of The Sopranos the other day on a flight didn't really like that either, although I have seen the odd episode here and there and enjoyed them and really wanted to watch more.

I thought the Power of the Dog was a dreadful read. Really looking forward to reading it after reports on here. Thought it was very repetitive and too long.

Got a mate who’s an academy football Coach at Newcastle who when I asked him said that he is a quality player with huge potential and needed the move for his own development. A cut above the rest.

Really enjoyed his Logan McRae series.

I hope so. They do try and live life as normally as possible under the circumstances despite the rockets and constant sirens sitting in the basement at school. We did receive a valentines card this morning from their 13 year old daughter so I’m sure things can’t be too bad.

She did say barring a miracle. It does sound from what her and her family are telling me that things are pretty horrendous.

Maybe something was lost in the translation. I’m no expert.

She didn’t she was confident of victory.

Speaking to someone who lives In Dnipro over the weekend who said unless there is a miracle Ukraine will be torn to pieces.
