Under the rules of Desert Island Discs what would your one luxury be, and your book (they give you Shakespeare and the Bible)?

I would have to agree on a Lap top with unlimited power and broadband, I only read stuff on the internet these days!!!!!!!! IF, I could not get that, then a pair of tweezers and a survival in the wild book ;) ;)

Wonderful ideas, my luxury would be Digby  :pig:  (keep me warm at night and clear the vegetation) I dont think I could choose just one book, but if I had to it would be Forsyte Saga (the whole thing in one volume).

I'd rather take Dan and forget the book  :love:

What a lovely idea Rosemary, but I have a feeling that both Dan and Digby and Sylvia's Sybil would all be against the rules  :D :D

Animals that look after themselves then come and greet me at the fenceline to say thanks for the field whenever I feel stressed.

What is a bodhran?

Pronounced 'bow-(as in wow)-rawn', it's a hand-held drum which originated in Ireland; traditionally made from goat (or sometimes greyhound) skin stretched over a riddle-like frame; played with a wee stick, or tipper.

I'm a rythmic sort.  ;D

Having thought about it all day, this is what I've decided...

I won't be swimming...nor will I need a canoe. I'll take the viagra for the crossing and put a sail on it. ;) ;D ;D ;D Then all I'll have to worry about is sharks. ;)
