A few weeks ago I finished reading “Nemesis” by Agatha Christie. I was reading all the Miss Marple’s in order and that was the last one. Sad now. Guess I’ll have to start on Hercule Poirot. Happy now 🙂 .
I love the word nemesis: an enemy that is very difficult to defeat. It sounds so sinister but could be anything. That last five pounds. Dark chocolate covered almonds. That spare in bowling where a second pin is hidden behind the first. We all have our nemeses.
I love Agatha Christie too. If I was stranded on a deserted island her books are the ones I would want. (And “How to Survive on a Deserted Island for Dummies”.) Dead author to invite to dinner? Agatha Christie. Know what I like best about Agatha Christie? She wrote her first book on a bet with her sister. But after that she started writing books for the money. No angst or struggles over being a writer. She just sat down and wrote. Why can’t I do that?
I’ve always enjoyed Agatha Christie!

I have always liked that word, not so keen on Agatha Christie more a D Sayers fan – had never thought of dark chocolate being a nemesis – like that thought a lot – I wonder what others are stalking me:)
