Monday #619

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
