Monday #621
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

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

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

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

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
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
2024 birthday and Christmas present round up
Having posted on Monday what I was going to write this week, for some reason I then spent the last few days writing my 2024 reading round up. I should have been putting together the one about my birthday and … Continue reading
Monday #612
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a good time over the holidays. I had always intended to take a break over Christmas, but it started earlier than I had planned as I came down with the flu. I am … Continue reading

We are well into December now! Brodie has asked for Christmas-themed stories so we have picked up Christmas Tales which we only half-read after Christmas 2022 and then forgot about. Letters to Enid part 62 and Five on a Treasure … Continue reading
Monday #607
The first Monday of December is upon us! Our Christmas tree went up last weekend but yesterday the advent calendars came out and Elf arrived. I can’t decide how I think Blyton would have felt about Elf. He’s very much … Continue reading

December is nearly upon us. Normally this is about the time I’d turn on the snow fall effect here, but sadly WordPress took it away a year or two ago. We haven’t had any real snow yet, just a lot … Continue reading

It’s Sunday evening as I write this and that’s good for me as I often write it on Monday itself, which is never my plan. What’s not so good was the little conversation my brain had with itself this morning, … Continue reading
Monday #602
Yep, I know it’s Tuesday but Monday rather ran away from me. There was taking Brodie to school, then going to work, and picking Brodie up from school, then a very busy Halloween party at the library. I was tired … Continue reading
Monday #601
As it has been the school holidays I decided (rather last-minute) that I would take a writing break, hence the sudden silence here. Did I use that time to figure out the mystery of the Monday numbering? No, I did … Continue reading
Monday #600
I wanted to lead with some sort of exclamation of how can it be 600 weeks since I started this blog? But the maths just isn’t mathing there. It’ll be 12 years in around 4 weeks, so it should be more like … Continue reading
