Otherwise "well reading" could be interpreted as "reading well".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-84322145188751255812013-02-04T16:06:08.329+00:002013-02-04T16:06:08.329+00:00Hope your mood has lifted today :-) And it's f...Hope your mood has lifted today :-) And it's funny you should ask about that full stop - I've never been sure, but I put it outside the same as you :-) xTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-87568027545335535252013-02-04T13:38:05.170+00:002013-02-04T13:38:05.170+00:00( ).
