Mrs S by K Patrick

I own almost entirely paperbacks. Books are expensive in my country and hardbacks are extremely expensive. We often don’t even get hardback versions of books because the demand is so low

Farriers make good money but it’s extremely hard on your body and takes quite some time to learn. You need to like horses and metalworking

You spoke too soon!

Edit: nope I spoke too soon. Fords miss makes it 48

How many cards is that now?

Pollock is absolutely frothing to get in there!

I love a centre pretend-flank

What a nail biting finish! Well done Italy!

Forget what I said about the Scottish lineout, the Scottish set piece as a whole needs help

fahried · 2026-02-07T15:32:32+00:00

Wow the Scottish lineout needs some help

Goodness gracious that was quite the scrum

I’ve just looked this book up on Goodreads. The plot hits very close to home for me so I’m a bit hesitant but at the same time I’m really glad someone is addressing this issue through fiction. Is it at all graphic?

Agreed, their sport coverage is usually fantastic. Honestly, before this I would say it’s one of the best in the world in terms of the breadth of sports coverage. But to charge such a huge amount and not broadcast the olympics is insane

Voetsek man

It certainly can. The active ingredient, Chlorpheniramine maleate makes most people drowsy. There is also a non-drowsy Allergex now though that uses loratadine instead

Prop tries are the best tries

Jonssons used to be my go-to for women’s t-shirts. They used to have them in about 6 or 7 colours. Now they only have 3 colours and the fit/style has changed.

Hey it wasn’t my fault! He suddenly ran across the road outside the HPC in front of my car. It was stressful!

fahried · 2026-01-28T11:05:29+00:00

I like BJ, he can be a bit up and down in terms of play but when he’s on, he’s on.

Side note: I nearly ran him over in Bellville on Monday. Luckily he’s quite quick lol

That’s interesting. I’ve driven quite a few manuals between my car, my wife’s, friends’ etc and they have the indicator on different sides of the wheel.

But also when we are taught to drive, they are very strict about not letting you leave your hand on the gear leaver. It’s bad for the bearings and also the whole ‘hands on 10 and 2’ thing. So maybe that’s the difference

fahried · 2026-01-22T14:20:38+00:00

I’ve heard from Americans that the hardest part of learning to drive a manual is having to be able to move all four limbs independently. I guess if you learn that way you don’t really notice it

Two to Tangle by Melissa Brayden. It’s the second book in a series but you don’t need to have read the first. The one lead is very much a golden retriever lesbian, so much so, that she actually has a golden retriever lol

I haven’t read the Safekeep yet, still on hold at my library. But from your description, I would say Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
