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

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

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
