  • Pandemic Lessons: Boredom (or: what have I been doing?)

    Pandemic Lessons: Boredom (or: what have I been doing?)

    I’m so bored of being stuck at home and not working. There. I SAID IT. I was furloughed from April and have been made redundant now and am still furloughed, until mid-October when I’ll finally be free. I won’t discuss my feelings on that now, but I am looking forward to moving on to something…

  • Books, music, and telly, oh my!

    Books, music, and telly, oh my!

    I’m home for what feels like forever and it’s only week 3 and I’m already tired of watching telly and sitting on the sofa and I have another 3 weeks of this?! I have a stack of books to read, which I’m thankful for. I’ve already read Alice by Christina Henry, which I loved. It’s…

  • What are you doing?

    How do you spend your free time? I play games, read, watch telly. All the usual stuff. I’m inclined to say I watch maybe too much telly, but there are so many good things on. That’s no excuse though. I know. So what am I doing? Books I’m always reading a couple of things at…

  • Blinds, beds, and books, oh my!

Everyone seems to be having “one of those days” lately. Either way my days this week so far have been filled with a…

  • Music is life.

    I have a book which I have barely started reading. I’ve had it for a while now and it’s the book I end up taking with me to wait before my doctor appointments, which means I haven’t gotten very far. I’m eager to read it but just haven’t found the time. The book is This…

  • Living for the Weekend (and Lots of Books)

    That’s totally how I feel lately! I’m so glad tomorrow is Friday and that the weekend will finally be here. We aren’t doing a lot really. Hubby’s dad is coming from Spain for a few days so it will be really nice to see him and I’m having my hair done, another foil session and…
