My Reading Life
The Week That Was…
Making me happy this week is my new shirt, ordered back in April, finally arriving, along with its replacement two days later, because the first was deemed lost in the mail. Turns out it was just sitting in Sydney since early June, courtesy of Australia Post, so now I have two of these: ~~~ Joke … Continue reading The Week That Was…

#BookBingo2020 – Round 9: Set in a place you dream of visiting
A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende Chile is like its own character, with just as much presence as Victor or Roser within any scene. This is a novel that is so enriched by culture, love, compassion, and loyalty. Reading it was a joy that I was reluctant to let go of. Visit … Continue reading #BookBingo2020 – Round 9: Set in a place you dream of visiting

A Month of Reading: August
#aww2020 was the only challenge I contributed to this month, adding 4 titles. My reading has been a bit higgledy-piggledy this past month owing to some major life distractions. My total has taken me by surprise, I thought it was going to be much lower! Even though August isn't officially over, I'm calling it because … Continue reading A Month of Reading: August

It's that time of the year in high schools where a lot of forward planning is done and that means longer days in the last week. But working until 5pm when you're usually done by 2.30pm is somewhat shocking: to my body and brain, which I had to drag across the Friday finish line, and … Continue reading The Week That Was…

How is it Friday again? Trying to get a photo with both dogs looking at the camera at the same time...as bad as children!
