Saturday Night at the Movies #1

January wrap-up

It's time for the first monthly wrap-up of 2022, and this post coincidentally (not really) falls on my actual birthday. I am 60 today; how did that happen so quickly? Anyhow, there will be a small book haul to celebrate in a separate post, but this is all about the month just ending, so here … Continue reading January wrap-up →

What’s coming up in January 2022

Mid-month Musings

It seems only a few hours ago that I was thinking about writing a post about what's coming up for me in November and suddenly here we are a fortnight later and I'm only sitting down to type now.

My Week – 17 October edition
