Currently... August 2007

Hi everyone! I have been quite relaxed as I have settled in a new place which is just 20 miles away from my old place. Although it is now a bit inconvenient to commute to university I love this town so much! Very peace and quiet with a lot of nice neighbours! Also a big spectacular cathedral is in the view from the window in my room!

By the way, I have currently been enjoying Sharpe, a historical fiction in the Napoleonic period about a war between Britain and France in Iberia and Pyrenees. Actually I have now got both the original nobels and DVDs which I borrowed from a friend in uni. This friend recommended me to read some nobels which intrigues me to read enough to learn English with fun! So from her selection of books, I found the series of Shape is most enticing! Quite thrilling and passionate! Also as a part of my daily entertainment, I asked her if I could borrow a set of the DVD series as well. I have now watched all the series of DVDs, and finished reading Sharpe's Rifle, and Sharpe's Eagle. I am now reading Sharpe's Gold as I follow the chronological order, rather than the order of date of publication. But I have just started reading from Sharpe's Rifle rather than Sharpe's Tiger which was published quite later than Sharpe's Waterloo as my friend has not purchased that book and I did not like to skip too further the order of date of publication.

Shape is the name of hero and the chief of a skirmish line called 95th rifel, South Essex.
