Monday #467
Thankfully this is the last week of winter, as spring officially begins on Sunday. I know that the weather doesn’t always take not of this fact, but we can always hope. It could also be the last week of legal … Continue reading

We had some actual warm sunshine this week which was nice, it definitely feels like spring is on the way now. (I’m probably tempting fate by saying that and there’ll be heavy snow this week, but at least Brodie would … Continue reading

It is almost March now which means the clocks will be going forward, and spring starts! February seems to have gone by very quickly, even for the shortest month of the year. But beyond that, I hope that March brings … Continue reading

It is back to just me writing this week, and although I was able to come up with two posts fairly easily it has taken me until 11.30pm on Monday night to write this. If I’m lucky I’ll get it … Continue reading

As with every week I consult my online calendar to see what I have lined up to write, or at least what rough ideas I could choose. Sometimes (like this week) it is done with mild anxiety as I am … Continue reading

I’m a little bit late again this week, but it’s still Monday at least. I’ve made plans with Stef to watch more Malory Towers this week so that I can get back to reviewing series two, but in the mean … 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

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

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

We are creeping closer to Christmas now, so let’s just hope that the Omicron ‘no C(h)rimbo’ variant doesn’t spoil thing too much for anyone. More Christmas bits and pieces and Five Get Into a Fix The Great Big Snowman can … Continue reading

Having just noticed that there was no Monday #452 published last week, I endeavoured to solve the mystery and investigated behind the scenes in WordPress. I could not find an unpublished draft, a post published with the wrong date or … Continue reading

In case you missed yesterday’s post today is the day that Malory Towers series 2 comes to BBC iPlayer! Stef and I are going to have a watch-along of at least the first couple of episodes tonight (yes, we live … Continue reading

Last week I managed to post the right things, so I’m hoping that will happen again this week. My 2021 gift guide is more or less finished, I just need to agree a night (or nights) with Stef to write … Continue reading
Monday #449
Last week I think I said I’d put up my October round up, and then got carried away working on the final part of my Five Go to Billycock Hill review, and posted that instead. I will try again this … Continue reading

I clean forgot to write this on Sunday evening, so here it is only a bit late though at least it’s still Monday! It’s also November now, and I’m not entirely sure where so much of 2021 has gone already! … Continue reading

The October holidays have ended where I am, and we are moving firmly through autumn now. We were having unseasonably mild weather for October, then overnight it turned to unseasonably cold – that’s Scotland for you! The hats and gloves … Continue reading

After a year and a half of not being able to go on holiday we’ve had two in two months. I am writing this from a little house in Aviemore, but by the time it goes live we will be … Continue reading
