First week of the year back at work! And we have at long last had some rain. Not a lot, but enough to dampen the dust and fill the air with its scent. ~~~ What I've been watching: Yes! At long last!! ❤ And, another one that I had been meaning to catch at the … Continue reading The Week That Was…

Full disclosure: tomorrow is my birthday. As a birthday treat, my sons came to the movies with me to see Dolittle. My older son doesn't do things like this much anymore, it's usually just me and my youngest seeing movies together nowadays, so it really was a birthday gift to all go out together. Dolittle … Continue reading The Week That Was…

#TBT 2019 in Books…
Today's #TBT is taking a look at my 2019 in books. I love the stats that Goodreads make up for you. Here's what mine looks like: 144 books! I must say, that has surprised me! I set a target of 100, knowing I would likely nudge over, but this has exceeded my expectations. 🥂 As … Continue reading #TBT 2019 in Books…

It's been a fortnight since my last week that was. I've finished work for the year, had my first week of holidays, am on track for Christmas preparations, and have saved over $800 on my annual insurance premiums by switching providers.

I think of it as one of the original series - and best, although seriously under-rated - of this sub genre. … Continue reading #TBT What I was reading this time six years ago…
