Finished reading all three books in about 2 weeks time (and this with a 3 year old and a 5 month old in the house!)
What a story! Great read. Now, a mix of excitement and worry about the movie….

A Feast for Crows by George R.R.Martin
This was a big read, and just found out that it is only one part of two books that read parallel to one another…interesting? Yes indeed! This book was good, had too much Cersei…yea…she is not my favourite character, really just want her to suffer that’s all 
. So, this books is all about stuff happening on one side of the wall so to speak and the next book , A Dance with Dragons, is all about the wall and stuff happing on that side, or the other side…. Looking forward to reading the second book, or the parallel book ??? because I just LOVE Daenerys and was kinda disappointed having read a whole book with nothing of her in it! Hopefully get my fill and some of her and her dragons in ‘A Dance with Dragons’…think the name says it all 
jippee!!
But back to this one, A Feast for Crows. Not a bad read. It did have a lot of the bad mean old sneaks getting their way, Arya is turning into a really interesting little character…scary little character :-S
And what the…happened to Catelyn Stark in this book !?! Freaky stuff man, awesome freaky stuff.
LOVE LOVE LOVE these books so far!
2011 October exams
I have about 2 weeks left before sitting my M256 Software development with Java and M257 Putting Java to work exams. I have also received my final TMA marks and …well, M256 was a nice surprise at 92%, but M257 was a bit of an eye opener at 76%. Got some nice feed back from my M257 tutor that I am thankful for.
Almost done with M256′s revision. Hoping to have worked through all 14 units before Wednesday….earlier would be nice as I would like to work through some old exam papers…
Almost 8 months pregnant now. We are expecting a little boy! Our 2.5 year old little girl is going to be a great big sister
Taking on a minimalist life style – Part One –
My Husband and I have talked about this for almost a year now. In the beginning I though it a bit of a joke, but the more we talked and the more I read about it, the more appealing it has and is becoming.
So, we are on the move again. And this would seem the perfect time to jump into this with both feet. We have about 4 months to go before we move, so have been slowly getting rid of stuff that we do not use. Started off by actually going through our clothing cupboard and just getting all that stuff “Yea, I am going to fit into that again one day” and stuff with a little bit of sentiment stench to it..you know…ended up with 4 big bags of things we do not use and binned it in one of those clothing charity containers down the road. Wow…it feels good ! Already our room seems less cluttered. And so it has begun. Really thought this was going to be hard, but getting rid of all that luggage we schlep around kinda frees the mind man!
As I love to read, my Husband got me a Kindle last year for my birthday. Now this is a very handy little minimalist device for me who loves to have books. I have had the Kindle now for the last year and it did feel a bit strange in the beginning not to hold a book, but now it feels strange to hold a book.
So out with all the books we do have …and honestly, when are we going to read them again ???? I will however be keeping one book that I absolutely love to bits. Have read it like 3 times already and just love the story. And the rest of the books are gonna go. Dunno where yet…thinking about giving it away, but we are sitting in Germany and not that many people read English books here. Thought about posting to family, but that is just going to cost a ton. Then maybe Ebay will work, or some second hand book shop will take it from us…have to get on to it. Time stands still for no man!
A Storm Of Swords by George R. R. Martin
The third book in the ‘Fire and Ice’ series. Still liking the series, really good characters. This book is a bit better than the previous one that had heaps of fighting in it. Not a fan of long drawn out fighting that seems to never end…
The third book, ‘A Storm Of Swords’ have some unexpected events taking place that had me going “WHAT ??” in a good way! Characters dying and some making powerful comebacks. So far I am really liking it how some of the main characters die. You would expect them to go to the end right, but man, it gives this story just that extra little something!
Enviromentally friendly Oven cleaner
Baking-Soda !!!
Just make a thick paste with water and spread it thickly over the walls and bottom of the oven. Let it sit overnight and the grime is usually much easier to scrape off. Just cleaned our oven and had my 2 year old giving me a hand and I’m currently 5 months pregnant so keeping my toddler and myself away from harmful fumes is important to me.
So, not only is using baking-soda much easier on the nose to clean with, it is also environmentally friendlier than your commercial oven cleaners.

Covers nicely and only needed two coats to get the colour coming through.
A Clash Of Kings by George R.R. Martin
As good as the first book. Had a big war bit in it that I did not really care for. On to book no.3 !!
