    and … Sylvia rather than Syliva … She was probably called Syliva at school: Hence the depression later in life.

    Hmmm, you assume we have managed to read atleast three books this year. Have i?
    My only 3 books were;
    Babylove by Robyn Barker,
    Breath by Tim Winton and
    I attempted to read ‘Gifted hands’ by Ben Carson.
    Unfortunately, apart from babylove I can’t celebrate the goodness of these books. Breath was amazingly boring with the odd moment of traumatic reading which created yukky images which tried to invade my head, while gifted hands seemed like one long brag fest with the occasional reference to God overshadowed by detailed descriptions of one’s own efforts and achievements. A shame really, seeing the reading opportunities were very limited this past year.
    On a more celebratory note i have enjoyed reading Isaiah- well the second half atleast!
