Monday #530
We have just slipped into June and Stef has headed home now, but we had a great week together. The sun shone (mostly) and we made it to five different beaches and almost as many cafes. We also made a … Continue reading

Nothing coming up this week as Stef is visiting for the first time in three years! Hopefully we will do some things that will spark some new blog ideas. We will be visiting St Andrews – we always do – … Continue reading

The pile of books on my side table is slowly getting smaller as I work through the Holiday Stories each week. As I’m back to working on transcribing the letters pages, though, I expect I’ll end up with magazines added … Continue reading

Monday #527
Halfway through May now and there still hasn’t been much of an improvement in the weather. Came out of a solid week of mist to have one mild and sunny day before the rain returned. At least you don’t need … Continue reading

Last week I was called for jury duty, though I didn’t end up serving thankfully. That’s why I didn’t commit to writing anything – I didn’t know how much time or energy I would have. It’s over now, though – … Continue reading

Last week I did sit down, more than once, to write about Blyton’s best holiday locations. But somehow I just couldn’t get it written. I got myself a bit tied up trying to work out how much the locations could … Continue reading
My favourite of Enid Blyton’s stand-alone books
The big series always get the most attention, even here at the WOB. But what about all the one-off books? Well, here are my favourites. Those Dreadful Children I grew up with the Armada paperback of Those Dreadful Children and … Continue reading

I am writing this from my new laptop! The old one isn’t quite dead yet, but it has been on its last legs for the past few years (obviously it had more legs than I thought, though). I’m now trying … Continue reading

Until around 3pm on Saturday I was blissfully unaware that the clocks were due to change that night. Normally I’m counting the weeks until the end of March so that it’s finally light when I finish work on my late … Continue reading

So let’s try that again! Last week I promised the last part of my Five Are Together Again reviews – the one with the nitpicks no less. I even had it all written and ready to go with the exception … Continue reading

It’s ten pm on Monday as I write this, which is later than usual but at least it is still Monday. Whether I get a Monday post written on Sunday as planned or not, I inevitably find myself trying to … Continue reading

As you can see I’m going to share my thoughts on the whole updating Roald Dahl’s books furore this week. I’m a bit late to the party (as usual) but I have many thoughts (also as usual) so I’m going … Continue reading
Five Are Together Again part 2
Last time we had 90 pages of nothingness before the tiniest sniff of a mystery. Things finally kick off After running his mouth off to Mr Wooh Tinker is upset at his telling off from Julian and goes to sleep … Continue reading

I find myself slightly less baffled by the passage of time, as I know that February is a short month and have been willing it to be over. Before we know it, it’ll be March! The crocuses (croci?) are out … Continue reading
