My Week – 17 October edition
It has been a much quieter week than I had intended. Last Sunday I went to the first of three planned screenings at the London Film Festival, and saw the new Edgar Wright film Last Night in Soho (which I loved btw) but due to Life Happenings, I didn't make it to the other two. … Continue reading My Week – 17 October edition
Looking back at Summer 2021
So, here we are well into the first full week of September and I am only just picking up my virtual pen in order to look back at the past two months after an unplanned break in blogging. Photo by Nicolas Picard on Unsplash The break was not planned (unlike last year when I took a month off) … Continue reading Looking back at Summer 2021
My Month in Review | May 2021
I can’t believe that we are already at the end of May (or the start of June when this will be published); almost halfway through the year. So much better than this time last year. The Book God and I have both been fully vaccinated, we’ve ventured out to a restaurant for the first time … Continue reading My Month in Review | May 2021

Updating my week (ending 18 April)
We've been graced with beautiful sunny weather over the past few days which is guaranteed to lighten my mood, but last week didn't start that way. On Monday 12th we woke up to sleet, of all things. Anyway, despite that the signs of spring are increasingly evident, and the photo here shows the view as … Continue reading Updating my week (ending 18 April)
March in review & April so far
I struggled a bit during March so didn't feel very much like writing (or reading for that matter) but have no fear, I didn't abandon books altogether. April promised to be marginally better, though as I write this a simple repair to our central heating system has led to a complete failure, and I'm having … Continue reading March in review & April so far
Updating my week – let’s not and say we did
Last week was a bit of a horror to be honest - a short but intense depressive episode, a couple of bouts of insomnia and a narrow escape from a phishing attempt - so I'm just not going into the details. You can probably guess not much reading got done so we'll just skip that … Continue reading Updating my week – let’s not and say we did

My Week | 11 October ’20
It has been a very quiet week chez Bride. I've been somewhat under the weather and spending a lot of my time not sleeping well then napping, so on and so forth. Naps are something new to me - when I was younger I just couldn't sleep during the day unless I was ill, and … Continue reading My Week | 11 October ’20
