It has been a very quiet week chez Bride, partly because I've been feeling a bit under the weather and consequently lethargic, which has meant watching YouTube videos and sleeping. That also means not much reading, though I did manage to finish The Eleventh Day which I mentioned in my post last week. Photo by … Continue reading My Week – 26 September edition

No more looking back…..
I think that I may be coming out of my reading slump but I'm still a little wary of declaring victory just yet. I've also made decisions on my backlog of reviews and I've decided to dump the lot - the long list is making me anxious which is something I don't need right now, … Continue reading No more looking back…..
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
Looking back on my week, ending 25 April
Part of me is thinking "How is it nearly May?", but the other part of me, the one who was out in our tiny back garden today (Sunday) planting in the warm sunshine, was convinced that we are well into late spring! This is a good thing. Photo by Michael Dziedzic on Unsplash And, despite being a little … Continue reading Looking back on my week, ending 25 April
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)
Looking back at my week | 17 January edition
So this week we finally took down our Christmas tree. We normally do this around Twelfth Night (as is both traditional and difficult to spell) but self-care demanded that twinkling lights were required for a bit longer. Sad to see it go, but it did dominate the room and it is nice to be able … Continue reading Looking back at my week | 17 January edition
January 2021 so far
Here we are almost at the end of the first full week of January and given the events of the past week I'm not hopeful that this year will be much better than the one we've just endured, but I can be a bit of an Eeyore so let's hope I'm wrong. I often am … Continue reading January 2021 so far
Sunday Salon | 20 September
It's starting to feel a lot like autumn. Here in SW London it's been sunny but the wind has a bit of an edge to it and I for one am very happy about it. From my walk earlier today Books finished this week: The Night Stalker by Chris CarterDevolution by Max Brooks Midwinter Sacrifice … Continue reading Sunday Salon | 20 September
Sunday Salon | 13 September
It has been a very quiet reading week. I've been spending my Me Time binge listening to True Crime Bullsh** - an excellent podcast focussing (at least in the first two seasons) on serial killer Israel Keyes. I know. I have always been this way. Photo by Frederick Tubiermont on Unsplash I finished exactly one book this week, … Continue reading Sunday Salon | 13 September
Sunday Salon | 6 September 2020
It's the first Sunday Salon post of the autumn and a chance to round up what I've been up to since my end of summer post which was only a few days ago but, you know, I have Notes. Photo by Katie Moum on Unsplash Books finished in September so far: Only one, The Executioner by Chris Carter, … Continue reading Sunday Salon | 6 September 2020
