Reading roundup 02/08/17
I read a real mixed bunch of books this week; some good, others definitely not so good! The first was White Nights by Ann Cleeves, the second in her Shetland series and the last for me. This is what I wrote … Continue reading

Reading roundup 12/07/17
I am amazed to see that I have finished only one book this week! Well, I am 3/4 of the way through a second one, but that is not at all like my usual reading rate. I think I have … Continue reading

Outfit of the day 11/01/17
Well, I am feeling really poorly today, so will probably end up in bed for the duration! Never mind, I have still put on something quite nice on the top half, even though I have my pyjama bottoms on the lower half. If I do manage to go out, I will change into jeans and […]
