If you want to have a little peek at where I blog, go check out my Scene at Kittling: Books … and while there, do have a look around her blog. I love her Widget headings, such as “Top commenters, Bless ’em”. We do, too, don’t we! Note to self: Try to comment more on other blogs.
Anyhow, thanks Cathy for inviting me to be one of your Scenes. I rather enjoyed preparing my Scene. And it was fun checking out the other Scenes and discovering how many of us are “sofa bloggers”. I discovered, as you assured me, that I wasn’t alone!
Whispering Gums 
Hiya! Just came from Scene of the Blog (Cathy says hi, by the way :)) and I just had to let you know how cool it is that you also have a dedicated Austen shelf! I’ve recently blogged about mine:

All the best from Brussels,
Alex
Oh, hello Alex from Brussels. Thanks so much for saying “hi” and for liking my Austen shelf. I will pop over and see yours right away – we Austenites must stick together eh?
I’ve just been to Scene of the Blog and so excited to see a glimpse of your Scene, and found one more thing in common other than our Jane Austen connection, it’s our Laptop… don’t you just love it! What a cozy hub you have there. I have a JA shelf too, I’ll check out Alex’s later. So glad to find people sharing common interests. Books into movies? That’s my cup of tea 😉
LOL Thanks Arti … it was fun preparing my scene and deciding what to show. I nearly showed the tumbling over TBR piles but decided on my Jane Shelves and Women’s shelves instead as reflecting a bit of my reading preferences. Yes, I love my MacPro. I’ve been a Mac user (at home – at work we had those other things!) since 1985 and bought my first Mac laptop in 1993. I’m addicted. Funnily enough I haven’t yet moved into the iPhone … perhaps it’s cos I fear I’ll find another addiction!
And books into movies – yes, we share a bit don’t we.
Oh, and Alex’s JA shelves are very impressive…
Thanks for the peek behind the scenes. I am happy to see you are a Mac user. And I love your JA shelves.
Thanks Stef … glad you enjoyed my “scene”. Thought you’d like the JA shelves – and the Mac, well what can we say eh?
Thank you so very much for being the perfect guest on Scene of the Blog!
You are a very lovely host Cathy, so thankYOU!
Ah, your fame is spreading further Mrs Gums. How fantastic, and well deserved. Of course we blog readers love the act of the voyeur. A lovely sneek peek.
LOL, thanks Louise. (Oh, and I made another soup tonight – Chicken, Barley, Leek and Mushrooms – nice though I’d temper the lemon a little next time …)
That sounds an interesting soup. I’ve been eating a bit of barley of late. It tastes nice but is a mess to cook at times.
Yes, I like its texture I lot. What do you mean about a mess to cook?
Just that when I boil it, it makes a scummy mess in the pot. Maybe it doesn’t happen at your house?
Ooh, never! No, now I understand. It can a bit but not so much that I’ve thought to comment. Maybe different brands? Different soaking regimes? Different cooking liquids?
