January 2025 round up
The first round up of 2025 couldn’t come too soon as January has felt like it had at least 12 weeks in it. What I read I have to conclude that there were only 4ish weeks in January, or I … 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
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
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

January 2024 round up
The first round up of 2024 already. January seems to have simultaneously dragged and rushed by! What I have read I read quite a bit this month, and finished on 12/100. When I wasn’t well I did some comfort listening … Continue reading

I’m back, having mostly recovered from my first lurgy of the year. Another one so kindly brought home from school and shared around. How I longed for someone to suggest I needed some fresh country air and a week (or … Continue reading
Monday #562
We are heading into an extremely cold week where I am, consistently below freezing and feeling as low as -10. If I can thaw myself out enough to type, here’s what I have planned for this week. (I have made … Continue reading

Happy New Year to all my readers! I hope everyone had a good festive period and the return to work hasn’t been too arduous. (Assuming you were off, that is. I remember working Christmas in retail only too well…) I … Continue reading
Monday #511
January is rushing past us, though I generally still feel like it’s only a week past New Year. Saying that, it feels like winter has dragged on forever (as it always does in January). According to Google meteorological winter ends … Continue reading

Monday #509
We have skipped from Monday #505 straight to Monday #509 as I took an unannounced (and longer than anticipated) Christmas break. Nothing untoward happened – I just had so much on and decided to down tools a bit early. This … Continue reading
January 2022 round up
Somehow it is not only 2022 but it is the end of the first month of 2022. What I have read I haven’t started off very well towards my goal of 100 books in 2022, in fact all month the … Continue reading

With the first month of 2022 almost over already this week will be a very round one, by that I mean I am posting two round-ups, one rather overdue. January round up and 2021 birthday and Christmas present round up … Continue reading

Monday #460
After taking my sweet time to begin reviewing Five Get Into a Fix I then wrote about 2,000 words about Aily last week. I would say that this week’s post will be more succinct, but that’d be a lie. Enid … Continue reading
Monday #458
I feel like I’m stuck in a strange time loop where every week I say I’ll review Five Get Into a Fix and then something comes up that prevents me actually doing it. Maybe this will be my lucky week … Continue reading
Monday #457
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope everyone who celebrates it had a good Christmas. We kept our celebrations small, though not really any smaller than usual, and were glad to be able to mix freely with our immediate families unlike … Continue reading
