October 2025 round up
With Halloween over I’m starting to think ahead to Christmas. At work this week I was stamping for the 1st of December which means that’s three weeks today. What I read I did a bit better reading-wise in October than … Continue reading

The clocks went back yesterday so it got dark even earlier. At least it leant a spooky air to the halloween party we were at after school. Letters to Enid part 78 and Famous Five 90s Style: Five on a … Continue reading

Having been on holiday last week (to Burntisland, which is neither burnt nor an island, go figure) I, at the last minute, thought I should get on with my Monday post before it became Tuesday. And that’s when I noticed … Continue reading

It’s October, it’s autumn and the schools are off. I did think about trying to write a fuller review of Peril on the Night Train this week, but (like last time) I don’t think I can bear to revisit it. … Continue reading
October 2024 round up
September has turned into October, so the nights are getting darker, and it’s generally colder. Though it’s still quite warm in the sun sometimes, the slippers and blankets are out at home! What I read I read a little more … 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
October 2023 round up
We are creeping closer to the end of the year, by the time this post goes up it will be the first of November. Halloween will be over and it’ll be time to start thinking about Christmas! What I have … Continue reading

We are enjoying a break in the rain today, though it is really rather cold, and also dark as the clocks went back at the weekend. Wednesday is the start of November, and the return of the rain. October round … Continue reading

We had a few days away last week – returning just before the weather turned truly nasty – which is why there were no posts. But it’s back to the regularly scheduled content this week. I’m starting to think about … Continue reading

It has been a very soggy weekend for most of us in Scotland. Lots of disruption due to flooded roads and railway lines. Luckily I was able to stay home mostly, and read while listening to the rain battering off … Continue reading

We are on the first post of October now. September’s mini heat-wave is a thing of the past, and the heating is on now! Brodie and I are on to Five Go to Smuggler’s Top now, my favourite book ever, … Continue reading

It’s the last Monday, and the last day, of October. That means firstly it’s Halloween today, and that the clocks went back yesterday morning. I’m writing this rather later than usual – at half past five – and it’s already … Continue reading

Every week I have to check what number of Monday I am on. This week, it struck me that almost 500 Mondays, divided by 52 makes nearly 10 years. Checking the earliest post on the blog confirmed the maths – … Continue reading

We are over half-way through October already so we are starting to think about Halloween in our house. Brodie wants to go ‘trick or treating’ for ‘candy’ and has been told it’s guising and sweets here (and he can only … Continue reading

It feels like I was just writing my last (and lighthouse themed) Monday post but it was in fact a week ago. I haven’t visited any exciting places since then, but it’s the first of two weeks school holidays now, … Continue reading

My weekend seemed to go past at whirlwind speed and I completely forgot about writing a Monday post on Sunday evening. I have at last remembered that today is Monday, though. September round up and Five Go to Demon’s Rocks … 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
