I’m having a hard time believing it’s almost May, mostly because it’s STILL chilly. The heating is still on at home, the cosy leggings and coats are still in use. It has been a little warmer now and again when … Continue reading
Reading the Famous Five to Brodie part 5
Out of interest I checked the dates and we read these three Famous Fives between November 29 and January 9. Five Get Into Trouble Naturally Brodie demanded the next Famous Five the night after we finished the last one. I … Continue reading

The audiobook I’ve just finished listening to had two Enid Blyton references in it, not unusual, but the strange thing is that it’s a book I’ve read before yet I hadn’t made a note of it. I have this time, … Continue reading

Apart from going to work I have barely left the house in the past weeks due to a certain spotty little boy. We did get out at the weekend for a walk in the woods, though, where we experienced sun, … Continue reading

I’m back after our few days away – where we had mixed weather. One day of clouds and intermittent rain, one day of constant rain, one day which started out sunny and warm (no coats needed!) then became windy and … Continue reading

I nearly decided to have a week off from blogging this week, as I have come down with that feels like my hundredth lurgy of 2024. (It’s probably only the fourth or fifth, but it is only March!) However I … Continue reading

I briefly looked for something non-weather related to say this week but it’s difficult to find something Blytonian-related that isn’t already going into one of my upcoming posts. So I’ll tell you that it’s actually sunny right now. Not only … Continue reading
Reading the Famous Five to Brodie part 3
Part one covered Five On a Treasure Island, and then part two was Five Go Adventuring Again and Five Run Away Together. Five Go to Smuggler’s Top This is, of course, my absolute favourite so I was really really hoping … Continue reading

Halfway between meteorological spring and astronomical spring and… it’s still cold! (Mind you, if I didn’t have the weather to complain about I’m not sure what I’d find to say every Monday.) Things I am looking forward to in spring: … Continue reading

First post of March already! So far March has remained fairly chilly, but there’s still time for it to get warmer – she says hopefully. We are in the period where it is spring but also is not spring, as … Continue reading

February is almost over, though it seems to have dragged rather, despite being the shortest month. I’m always desperate for January and February to be over and spring to start, but inevitably March ends up being barely any warmer or … Continue reading

To prove I do get things written/posted eventually this week we’ll have some of the fanfic I’ve been talking about for the past nine months and a review of a TV episode from December. Cunningham and Petrov: Bill and Allie’s … Continue reading

Turns out that I was right to guess that I wouldn’t write anything last week! Who’d have guessed? Stef has returned to the far end of the UK (blow!) so I can’t use her as an excuse this week. I … Continue reading

After a spotty January in terms of posting, I don’t think there will be anything this week either as Stef will be up visiting me. I have read all the suggestions for future content though, and have taken them on … Continue reading

I’m back, having mostly recovered from my first lurgy of the year. Another one so kindly brought home from school and shared around. How I longed for someone to suggest I needed some fresh country air and a week (or … Continue reading

We are heading into an extremely cold week where I am, consistently below freezing and feeling as low as -10. If I can thaw myself out enough to type, here’s what I have planned for this week. (I have made … Continue reading

Happy New Year to all my readers! I hope everyone had a good festive period and the return to work hasn’t been too arduous. (Assuming you were off, that is. I remember working Christmas in retail only too well…) I … Continue reading

Last Monday before Christmas. I’m thinking about all the blogging I have planned for this week, but also all the wrapping that I have to do, and wondering if there are enough hours in the day(s). Malory Towers: The Christmas … Continue reading

Malory Towers on TV: the Christmas specials
I normally avoid watching or reading things out of order, but as I’m way behind on the Malory Towers on TV reviews I figured it couldn’t hurt to watch the Christmas specials while it’s seasonally appropriate. Having seen it was … Continue reading
