Beejay's Bits and Pieces: June 2012
http://beejay4016.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Beejay's Bits and Pieces. Some bits about books; some bits about music; some bits about travel; some bits just about - well, bits in general! Monday, 25 June 2012. I know that I have not been keeping up with this blog in the way I had intended, but I’ll plead a really heavy study load – a couple of hundred pages a week of reading on a subject which is not the most scintillating – and hope you forgive me. 8221; The best? What a great philosophy to live by; it’s got to be right 50 per cent of the time.

Beejay's Books: May 2012
http://beejay4016books.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Not reviews; just reactions. Wednesday, 9 May 2012. The Elegance of the Hedgehog (Author: Muriel Barbery). The Blurb from Goodreads:. By turn moving and hilarious, this unusual novel became the the French publishing phenomenon of 2007: from an initial print run of 3,000 to sales of over 2 million in hardback. It took 35 weeks to reach the number one bestseller spot but has now spent longer in the French bestseller lists than Dan Brown. My Thoughts on The Elegance of the Hedgehog. Renée, of course, is jus...

Saturday, 28 July 2012. Liberia - From the Files of Traveler8. I am delighted to have guest blogger, Traveler8, here to tell us about her recent visit to Liberia, a country which most of us will never get to experience firsthand. Enjoy Traveler8's journey. Liberia – From the Files of Traveler8. Just so you know where it is. The House on Sugar Beach. President Ellen Sirleaf Johnson. When I get back to my room I discover that the game has gone into overtime and now they are lining up for a penalty shootout.

Vicki Lesage, Author. Monday, December 29, 2014. What's the best advice you've ever received? Back in the day, before my post-pregnancy belly wiggled like a bowl full of jelly, I used to party. You might have heard be talking about that before. Possibly. And it used to be a blast! So much so that I wrote a book. About it. You also might have heard me talk about that. Possibly. Now five years and two kids later, I'd say we're doing pretty well! What's the best advice you received? Christmas is almost here!

Wednesday, 30 May 2012. I will be back within a couple of days with day four in Paris - and I know you will love it. If you have read my. Beejay's Bits and Pieces. Entry today, you'll know that I'm about to sit my first university exam, and so the last week or so have been pretty well devoted to revising, revising, revising - oh, and practising handwriting for hours on end. Anyway, do check back because I have lots of lovely stuff and photographs to share with you for Paris. Thursday, 24 May 2012. We the...

Beejay's Bits and Pieces. Some bits about books; some bits about music; some bits about travel; some bits just about - well, bits in general! Thursday, 22 January 2015. Has it really been this long? I can't believe some of you are still here. Looks as though I'm going to have to discipline myself, stop wasting time on Candy Crush (yes, guilty), and bring things up to date. How embarrassing . In the meantime, have a peak at something lovely. Taken at the fabulous Gardens by the Bay, Singapore. You may fin...

Beejay's Travels: What a Job!!!
http://wwwbeejay4016travel.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-job.html
Tuesday, 12 February 2013. Why did it happen? Nobody has been able to provide any real explanation. It happened, and that is that. I did look at other blog platforms, but not being a computer whiz I came back to the lovely simplicity and user-friendliness of Blogger. Bye for now . Me.

http://wwwbeejay4016travel.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 November 2012. I have gone through just one post and added photos back in, but it seems to have played havoc with the blog and spacing. I am really annoyed and upset by this, as you can imagine, and am going to investigate other blogging platforms. Thank you for your patience,. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, 10 December 2013. Encore France: The Remaining Days of Paris. To risk life and limb weaving in and out of the traffic to attempt to get a great photograph of the Arc de Triomphe. Or pushing through the jostling crowds for a glimpse of the Mona Lisa. With its wonderful shops. Or perhaps we amble along the banks of the Seine. An even slower stroll, and a welcoming bench under a shady tree in the Tuileries. And then? And so, instead of carrying on with a daily run-down of this, our second holiday t...

Wednesday, 13 February 2013. Encore France: Day 15, The Sights You See. After breakfast we set off for the day, firstly catching a bus to take us to Tour Montparnasse. That giant, dark edifice which sticks up like a Gallic finger across the road from Gare Montparnasse. Now, I know that there are people – purists, those who care about whether or not a building “fits” its surroundings – who absolutely hate the Montparnasse Tower. The big, black Gallic finger. Sacre Coer from Tour Montparnasse. After lunch ...
