How did we get halfway through April without me posting anything (yes, I know my posting "schedule" is always erratic at the best of times)? I'll tell you why - coming down with the dreaded lurgy, that's why. Saying that, I should make it clear that I am not talking about Covid, just your common … Continue reading April so far…..

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…..
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
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
Sunday Salon | 21 June
Happy Father's Day to those celebrating with their Dads, or (like me) remembering Dads no longer with us. It's been a quiet week chez Bride, so let's just get into the book stuff. Currently reading - exactly the same books as last week, but I've made progress on most of them Finished - nothing. So … Continue reading Sunday Salon | 21 June
Sunday Salon | 19 April
So here we are at the end of another week of isolation and I have been outside exactly once when I went for some exercise on one of our sunnier days, but please don't ask me what day it was because I couldn't tell you off the top of my head. OK, I checked. It … Continue reading Sunday Salon | 19 April
Sunday Salon | 5 April
It's a beautiful sunny day here in SW London, windows are open and the birds are singing and I'm staying inside because that's the sensible thing to do. There's a lot of moralising here about people going to parks and so on and I won't weigh in on that as we all have to make … Continue reading Sunday Salon | 5 April
Sunday Salon | 3 November
So, back to the old routine. Although I had planned to post before today I (as always) underestimated just how long it takes to get back to normal after a holiday. Especially where laundry is concerned. How can two adults create so much stuff in 10 days? But what of this week? Well it was … Continue reading Sunday Salon | 3 November
