Update 16/04/21: second dose tomorrow!
I just cannot write today’s planned post. After a misunderstanding, caused by my memory issues, Lovely Husband came to the rescue and, to get to the point, we both have our second vaccinations tomorrow! Whoop! I am feeling very giddy … Continue reading

Not a Reading roundup 31/03/21
I have to admit that I haven’t managed to finish a book in the last week! Concentration was the problem – lack of, I mean. I started a few books, but then didn’t get on with them for some reason. … Continue reading
