Reading roundup 17/04/19

I have finished only one book this week! Quite shocking for me, I suppose. But, it had over 1000 pages, and when I tell you that it was Diana Gabaldon’s An Echo in the Bone (#07 in her Outlander series), … Continue reading
Update 09/04/19
Well, I have had yet another pyjama day! Last night was not good as I alternated between coughing and acid reflux. Poor Lovely Husband didn’t sleep well either because he was kind enough to stroke my back to try give … Continue reading
Update 08/04/19 with good news for handbag fans!
Quite a few months ago, I announced on here the sad news that my favourite handbag company, Massaccesi, was being forced to close. They managed to hang on for a while, running down the stock, but appeared to be nearing … Continue reading
