I know at least one or two MyLotters have also written other things. Now I’m wondering how many members have written a book? And was it published – if so how, where and by whom? Did you send the manuscript to a publisher in the...

@Fleura Adults. And mostly directed to women. Most of my friends are writers so we know how to do it.

This week I am away in Wales, and overnight we got 5 inches of snow so given that I am at the end of a narrow stony track you can imagine I’m not going anywhere. I have some jobs to do, but many of them are outdoor jobs which are...

@Fleura But is it better now or then. Sometimes it is worth the hassle to get quick answers... when it is working right

@Fleura No, it was fun for a while but then I'd read 20 great reviews and 1 bad review on Amazon and I'd obsess about the bad review instead of enjoying the majority of good ones. And my publisher went out of business. And I don't think I have another book...

@Fleura They were a Christian publisher I found online. Two were children's picture books (they provided the illustrations), two were non-fiction Christian books, one was travel book (nonfiction), one was a thriller/horror fiction book and one was a...

Isn’t English weird? The past of teach is taught, but the past of preach is preached, but not praught, as you might think it ought to be. And I just came across another linguistic oddity. The white powder descended from the sky...

@fleura You don’t know how reliant you are on something till it’s not available. Drug dealers and users know all about that.

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. With Russia’s continuing bombardment of Ukraine, its neighbour, Poland, has ‘scrambled its air force and activated all available resources at its disposal’. Scrambling in this...

@Fleura At least we can have tons of fun with wordplay. You can't say that about a lot of other languages.

Sometimes it isn’t easy to try to please everyone. Most of the time on our Paris trip we tried to do things together, but one day we decided to split into two groups. My partner and Little One wanted to go up the Eiffel tower, but...

Like many people, over the years of all the kids being home, Christmas got more and more hectic. More food, more gifts, more wrapping of gifts, more planning, and definitely more exhausting. One day I realized we just didn't enjoy...

The atmosphere in my kitchen this morning is one of warmth, comfort and security. And nostalgia. A pot of apples is stewing away happily, cooking apples infused with cloves, cinnamon, ginger, lemon juice and a splash of brandy....

@Fleura We're tempted to volunteer as they're really battling to keep going. However, it's an hour's drive from us and, with the evening ride, we'd need to stay the night so I don't think it's going to happen.

@Fleura Casse-tete is also used to mean jigsaw puzzle, or any puzzle. And if it was a fancy club, maybe it came apart and you have to fit the pieces together again. My alternate suggestion would be it was used to tap your head when you did have a headache...

@fleura The French surely have some odd ways of referring to things Chauve souris is a good example as is soutien-gorge.

@fleura An excellent choice of musée. We were there two years ago to see an exhibition tracing Indian cinema back to its beginnings, we were enthralled to see huge posters of Amitabh Bachchan and other stars, and a whole section devoted to the Kapoors. We saw...
