Week #706
I managed to write two posts last week, will we see if I can do it again? I’m already thinking about Christmas – I’ve even bought a couple of gifts! So Christmas content will be coming soon, including this year’s … Continue reading
Week #705
The clocks went back last weekend, so the dark afternoons are officially upon us. We were a bit battered by the A-B-C storms, but not too badly. It has stayed fairy mild since then, though just cold enough for me … Continue reading
Week #703
The schools are off, and I took a week off work last week too. It’s definitely getting colder and darker now. On the plus side the trees are starting to look great! Letters to Enid part 92 and The Famous … Continue reading
Week #701
It turns out that just thinking about that last Famous Five episode is so painful that I didn’t finish the post last week. Sadly I will have to subject myself to thoughts of it again this week. September round up … Continue reading
Week #700
Last week I discovered that I had run out of photos/scans of the letters pages and could I find the box with the next volumes in it? No I could not. I accidentally found it while looking for something else … Continue reading
My Enid Blyton jigsaws
It’s no secret that I enjoy a good jigsaw as I’ve shared various pictures of the ones I’ve completed over the years already. Sometimes my love of Enid Blyton and my love of jigsaws even combines. I bought a new … Continue reading
Week #699
Monday has been and gone and so has Tuesday so let’s go with it being week #699. Last week Stef was up here and we were out and about so I didn’t even attempt to post anything. Letters to Enid … Continue reading

Monday #697
Seriously considering renaming these Week# instead of Monday number. The only reason I haven’t (yet) is that it would make it even easier to procrastinate if I’ve not got an actual deadline. Letters to Enid part 90 and The Portrait … Continue reading
Monday #696
August has slipped past us now. The nights are definitely drawing in. August round up and Letters to Enid part 90 If you are in Germany you are very lucky as there are facsimile editions of the Adventure Series being … Continue reading
Monday #694
I started my new job last week so blogging took a bit of a back seat. The new Adventure Series covers and Letters to Enid part 89 Country Life ran an Enid Blyton quiz on her birthday, which was nice. … Continue reading
Monday #693
Well, last week entirely ran away from me. So let’s see how this week goes? July round up and The new Adventure Series covers Seeing as I’m going to be looking at the newest covers, why not look at all … Continue reading
Monday #692
Having skipped quite a few Mondays, I’m now back. For now? There’s been a lot going on lately and I start a new job next week, so still a lot going on. So the new job (even though it’s a … Continue reading
Monday #686
I’m still very carefully checking my numberings, though I can’t guarantee how long it will be before I forget at it all goes to pot again. We are on the cusp of a mid-week heatwave – though that has a … Continue reading
Monday #685
We had a bank holiday today because Scotland were playing in the world cup. I did not get up at 2am to watch the match. I also barely watched it when we got together with family to watch it at 11am … Continue reading
Monday #684
I have checked and double-checked – last Monday was #683 and so this week is #684. I got a rather dubious ‘achievement’ as I was working on last Monday’s post. Congrats to me I guess? Letters to Enid part 85 … Continue reading
Monday #683
I realised a few days ago that I’d misnumbered the Monday posts because after #789 I’d done #780, #781 and so on. So I renumbered them. Then I happened to scroll back and realise I had made the same mistake … Continue reading
Monday #682
After me complaining endlessly about the cold miserable weather today was the hottest May day ever. I really should be more careful what I wish for! At least this far north it was only in the low twenties and was … Continue reading
Monday #681
To badly misquote June Bride from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers – April showers will come so they say, and they did, and they haven’t stopped even though it’s May. I hope the next line – You’re about to forget … Continue reading
Monday #680
Despite it being May it is still pretty chilly. And rainy. It barely feels like May in fact. At least blogging is an indoor activity! Milton King x Enid Blyton and Five Go Off in a Caravan as watched by … Continue reading

It’s a long weekend here as it’s the start of May. Tomorrow – may the fourth be with you! – is a bank holiday. We have a new member of the household – a plush snake who had no name … Continue reading
