Monday #631
Yes, I know it’s Tuesday, but better late than never, right? For a moment I couldn’t remember why I didn’t manage to sort this post out yesterday evening but then I remembered – I was binge reading a Val McDermid … Continue reading

As much as I enjoy the sunshine we haven’t had any rain for weeks and it’s starting to feel weird. Plus there are now low water level warnings across the country. One of those rare times I’m actually hoping for … Continue reading

As I write this the sun is beaming down, so I’m hoping to get this done quickly so I can head out into the garden to enjoy it, once I’ve hung the washing out of course. We’ve been having a … Continue reading

I thought I’d give myself a week off and try to get ‘caught up’ and ready for this week. I did manage to watch a second episode of Malory Towers so at least I have notes ready to turn into … Continue reading

I failed to even watch Malory Towers last week, let alone write about it. The first-formers are really not making me eager to watch this series. I’ll try to do better this week… Letters to Enid part 69 and Malory … Continue reading

Tomorrow is a school day as the holidays are now over. It’s also going to be the first rainy day we’ve had in about two weeks! That at least means I shouldn’t have to go out and water the peas, … Continue reading
Monday #625
I did say last week that I had got hold of a copy of the New Famous Five book, but I haven’t actually read it yet, so that review is still to come. I am trying to work my way … Continue reading

Although it is still March (just) the April holidays have just begun here and so I have ten days before I have to be back at work. The weather forecast is pretty decent for this week – plenty of sunshine … Continue reading
Monday #623
I’m aiming high this week – read something and watch something before reviewing both. Let’s see how well I do! Five Go to Smuggler’s Top: The graphic novel and Malory Towers on TV series 4 Having just reviewed the graphic novel … Continue reading
Monday #622
It’s Monday so that means it’s that day where I sit and try to figure out what I’m going to write this week. It’s not that I have a lack of ideas, I have a long list, it’s more that … Continue reading

It may be spring (meteorologically) but after a mild weekend with a bit of sunshine it is back to being pretty cold. We are seeing lots of crocuses, snowdrops and a few daffodils, though, so there’s hope yet. Letters to … Continue reading

March has arrived and with it meteorological spring has begun. We picked up some grow bags and seeds at Aldi at the weekend, but will have to wait until we stop having frost to plant anything. That could be as … Continue reading

Last week I finally finished the third series of Malory Towers! As I’ve already watched the Christmas episodes that came between series three and four I can now move straight on to series four. After doing a series three overview, … Continue reading

We are over half-way through February now. The one bright spot – Valentine’s Day – is over with now. I got some flowers that day, and as they are Lego ones I’ll be able to enjoy them all month (and … Continue reading
Kiki in Lego
I’ve never written a Lego review before. I’ve written plenty of book, magazine, TV and film reviews, but never Lego. But then again, Lego have never made an Enid Blyton set! And they still haven’t, but so far this cockatoo … Continue reading
Monday #617
My excitement that January had finally ended was short-lived as I remembered that February is really just January part 2, and is just as dreary and cold. Kiki in Lego and Malory Towers on TV series 3 Spring still seems … Continue reading
Monday #616
It’s finally February! January felt like it lasted forever – it always does, I think. Mind you, the only good thing about February is that it’s a short month. I bought some daffodils at Aldi this morning and they are … Continue reading
Monday #615
In an unheard of move, I’m writing this on a Tuesday. And NOT the Tuesday after it should have gone up, but the Tuesday before. We are due extremely high winds on Friday so perhaps I’ll update this at the … Continue reading
Monday #614
As so often is the case I am sitting staring at a blank bit of WordPress editor, wondering what to write. Even I get bored of mentioning what the weather is like. (Mild, if you were wondering). I started this … Continue reading

Monday #613 just so happens to be published on the 13th of January? If I wasn’t sure that the numbering system had gone wrong somewhere perhaps I’d read that as some sort of omen. At least it’s Monday and not … Continue reading
