Monday #599
It’s the very end of September now and temperatures have plummeted. We’ve had frost in the morning, so it’s not a great time for our boiler to have started acting up. It should hopefully be fixed by Monday afternoon, though. … Continue reading

The brief resurgence of warm weather is well and truly over, and I am writing this from under a cosy blanket. If I was in an Enid Blyton book I would of course say under a cosy rug. Rug meaning blanket is … Continue reading

Letters to Enid part 57 and Reading The Sea of Adventure to Brodie When I added this banner it was because I wanted to answer a question that had been asked. But why not use it to ask a question … Continue reading

It’s Monday again – why do the weekends always go by so fast? Letters to Enid part 56 and Lifting the flap on two new “Enid Blyton” books Oh I say! Pretty much every Enid Blyton character must say this … Continue reading

And just like that, it’s September already. Summer isn’t over (if it ever began!) but the evenings are growing darker already. August round-up and Enid Blyton’s favourite words We have books of the week this week, these two which crossed … Continue reading

You know you’ve been reading too much Enid Blyton* at bedtime when your child turns to you and says You’re a beast! *Obviously there’s not really such thing as too much Enid Blyton. Letters to Enid part 55 and Enid Blyton’s … Continue reading

I know that I’ve put The Treasure Hunters on the list two weeks running now, but things just keep coming up! It’s probably about half-finished at this point so maybe this week will be the week! Reading The Treasure Hunters … Continue reading

The last six weeks have flown by and schools go back tomorrow! Brodie is now 7 and is going into primary 3, I can hardly believe it. We are currently reading The Mountain of Adventure (oh, those Welsh accents, look … Continue reading

It’s August now – and we’ve finally had a whole week of decent weather! Possibly the only week, but sometimes that just has to do. August means Brodie is about to turn 7, tomorrow in fact! He’s still loving Enid … Continue reading

This is late going up as I just couldn’t decide what to write this week. I don’t like doing the same things week after week somehow, yet all the other ideas I have are things that will take longer than … Continue reading

I was away on holiday last week, which is why there were no posts! Came back to some freshly ripe strawberries, massively grown potato plants and still growing sunflower stems (though they had flopped over and needed propping up.) Our … Continue reading

First post of July! The weather continues to be Not Very Good, with plenty of rain and wind and not all that much sunshine. Our strawberries are doing well, though, and our potatoes have done a lot of growing so … Continue reading

It’s almost the end of June and I am tentatively going to say that summer has actually arrived, at least, for the moment! A few of our strawberries have ripened (and been eaten) and our potatoes have finally started peeking … Continue reading

Last week rather ran away from me – I had watched the next two episodes of Malory Towers and made (copious) notes in advance, but ran out of time to turn them into a (semi) coherent review with screen shots. … Continue reading

There are green strawberries on our plants now, and our potatoes have been planted. The one good thing about all the rain we’ve been having is it has meant we haven’t had to go out and water them much. (It’s … Continue reading

We had nice weather over the weekend so the strawberry plants are in – and now we’ve been offered a potato growing bag, so we could have quite the kitchen garden soon. May round up and Malory Towers on … Continue reading

Having been talking about putting a raised bed in the garden and growing some chives and other easy herbs, it was a coincidence that we then got offered some strawberry plants from my cousin. I have now ordered a raised … Continue reading

It has been a bit of a rollercoaster weekend for us – it started out with a leaking shower/bath affecting the flat below us, moved on to us finding a lost cockatiel which Brodie named Kiki, and then ended up … Continue reading

I have the update you have all been waiting for! The sun finally came out! It was hot! We made it to the beach and even into the water! Which got me thinking about bathing. I was just paddling but Brodie lay … Continue reading

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
