The Secretary by Deborah Lawrenson

 Discover a thrilling tale of espionage in 1950s Russia when a female British secretary is sent to unmask a rogue spy, at a time when women were expendable.

Dear friends. Today I'm on the blog tour for a book that's exciting on several levels, The Secretary by Deborah Lawrenson.

It's a thriller set in Moscow in the late 1950s, and centred, unusually, around a female "spy" at a time when they didn't officially exist.  It's based on the real-life diary of the author's mother.

Get Great Arms over 60

 64 year old blogger Is This Mutton on how to get toned arms at any age

Dear friends. One of my fitness goals at the start of the year was to get toned arms. I didn't wear my sleeveless tops much last year because I suddenly had bingo wings and crepey skin.

You might think that's to be expected after 60. But I knew I'd slackened off, and wasn't lifting weights.  Improvement was possible.
