Since we missed last week's podcast we will try to discuss the last 2 books of the week as well as the current one

Podcast Delay

Not technical this time! (I know, with our skills with technology that is something of a shock) Alas, Renee has been struck down by the dreaded Moositis, a deeply unpleasant and soggy sounding Canadian plague (clearly one that thrives on the cold). She is unable to communicate by any means other than deeply disturbing squishing noises and some hoarse rasping that means either illness or being strangled by a polar bear.

We shall delay while Renee tucks up with poutine and Timmys while I mock her affliction provide comfort.


We will be back with you as soon as possible!
