Monday #675
It’s September first today so apart from the Hogwarts Express departing from King’s Cross, it’s also the first day of autumn. It’s still fairly warm right now but I’m already wondering if my cosy cardigans will last another winter… August … Continue reading

Seeing as I’ve gotten so far behind on Brodie’s reviews I thought I’d better crack on with another one and hopefully catch up eventually. Ironically I had been thinking how fun a Byker Grove blog would be. The clothes and … Continue reading

I missed a couple of weeks – Brodie turned 8 and we have been enjoying the last couple of weeks of the school holidays before he goes into p4. Last Monday was Enid’s birthday – she was born 128 years … Continue reading

July is almost over. That means it’s almost August and Brodie’s 8th birthday. We started Mr Galliano’s Circus last night which he says he DID NOT LIKE – but he was overtired after being away for three nights with his … Continue reading

It was somewhat ambitious of me two weeks ago to aim for two posts, considering I was going off on holiday. The holiday is over (sadly!) so back to business now. Pretending to be Jack Trent and Reading the Circus … Continue reading

We are firmly into July now and the weather is starting to look better (except from a super heavy downpour this afternoon!). It is supposed to get hotter and sunnier as the week goes on so I will enjoy getting … Continue reading

I took last week off as I realised it was the last week of term and it was my last chance for peace during the day for SEVEN WEEKS. Now it’s the first week of these really long holidays, so … Continue reading

Maps in books and Blyton references in works of non-fiction I am paraphrasing like mad here because I didn’t take a note of this at the time! Unlike, say, the Famous Five who never seemed to learn their lessons. Let’s … Continue reading
Monday #633
I was reading an un-put-down-able book last night so didn’t get around to doing the Monday post (yes, another Val McDermid but I am seeing her talk later this week, so I’ll probably stop binge-reading her stuff after that. Probably.) but … Continue reading
Monday #632
May has been a month of two parts – the first part where it was warm and sunny all the time, and then when it was cloudy and rainy almost all the time. Perhaps June will strike a better balance! … Continue reading
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
Monday #627
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
Monday #624
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
