March 2025 round up
What I read I definitely read less this month – been watching too much TV instead! I’m somehow still 8 ahead of schedule, though. I read two books about bookshops and libraries (BABALS – I’m going to use this until … 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

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

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
March 2024 round up
It feels like ages since I wrote the February round up – but we are over a week into April I suppose. What I read What I have read: How to Date Your Dragon (Mystic Bayou #1) – Molly Harper … Continue reading

I nearly decided to have a week off from blogging this week, as I have come down with that feels like my hundredth lurgy of 2024. (It’s probably only the fourth or fifth, but it is only March!) However I … Continue reading

I briefly looked for something non-weather related to say this week but it’s difficult to find something Blytonian-related that isn’t already going into one of my upcoming posts. So I’ll tell you that it’s actually sunny right now. Not only … Continue reading

Halfway between meteorological spring and astronomical spring and… it’s still cold! (Mind you, if I didn’t have the weather to complain about I’m not sure what I’d find to say every Monday.) Things I am looking forward to in spring: … Continue reading

First post of March already! So far March has remained fairly chilly, but there’s still time for it to get warmer – she says hopefully. We are in the period where it is spring but also is not spring, as … Continue reading
March 2023 round up
It is Easter this weekend, which (this year at least) means it’s April and time for another round-up. The shifting of Easter always gets me, I never know when it’ll be without Googling it. I have a vague idea that … Continue reading

Until around 3pm on Saturday I was blissfully unaware that the clocks were due to change that night. Normally I’m counting the weeks until the end of March so that it’s finally light when I finish work on my late … Continue reading

So let’s try that again! Last week I promised the last part of my Five Are Together Again reviews – the one with the nitpicks no less. I even had it all written and ready to go with the exception … Continue reading

It’s ten pm on Monday as I write this, which is later than usual but at least it is still Monday. Whether I get a Monday post written on Sunday as planned or not, I inevitably find myself trying to … Continue reading

As you can see I’m going to share my thoughts on the whole updating Roald Dahl’s books furore this week. I’m a bit late to the party (as usual) but I have many thoughts (also as usual) so I’m going … Continue reading
March 2022 round up
Phew, it’s the first of April already. I hope you enjoyed this morning’s post! We had a brief warm spell in March where we could sit outside in short sleeves, but by the end of the week it was snowing. … Continue reading

It is the last Monday of March and the clocks have just changed, meaning the evenings are much lighter all of a sudden. We’ve also had some lovely spring weather – almost summer weather, though it’s due to be minus … Continue reading

Last week rather got away from me – somehow it took all week to write about Shirley Hughes, leaving no time for Malory Towers. I did read A Little Princess, though, which gives me something to write about this week. … Continue reading
