Reading and Life Update July

So  readers, I am still in a reading funk.

I only managed to read One book in July and that was Big Stone Gap as my previous blog post.

Although this was a re read, I had forgotten quite abit of it.  I loved re-discovering the characters and the settings.  It is a lovely book and I can't wait to continue the rest of the Big Stone Gap series in the coming months.

My goal for August is to finish the other books I have been attempting  over the last couple of months.

I am probably three quarters through Clap when I Land by Elizabeth Acevedo, about half way through The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman and probably about 20% of Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Everisto.

My goal is to complete these three books in August

I want to start a fresh in September and be ready to read more books going into the Autumn season.
September is my birthday month and I see that as a new year for me, where I can re commit myself to reading abit more and reset my goals and aspirations for the coming year.

Work wise, I went back to work after a little period of furlough leave.  Getting back into some sort of normality in these crazy times.

I am doing more crafts and as you can see I have been posting some of my makes here on this blog.  I want to continue to do that and get more into a regular schedules of blog posts.

July has been a fairly quiet month.  My brother and sister in law came up in July once we were able to visit people which was so lovely as we haven't seen them since early March.  We also visited Mr A's Dad and partner as we were able to sit in the garden.  We are still yet to see Mr A's Mum, Step Dad and brother.  We also visited a couple of set of friends, all within recommended social distancing guidelines.  It's just so strange you can  not hug as you would normally do.

I am hoping that the summer continues to be nice and things will start to be a little easier for the whole world in terms of Covid although news reports does suggest parts of the world are seeing spikes in new cases and could be seen as going through a second wave.

Stay safe my friends and happy reading, crafting and life in general

Love Lesley xx

Quick Catch Up

 Hi All I've been absence from this blog for a while as unfortunately my beloved hubby has been diagnosed with cancer.  We have caught it early and the prognosis is very good and positive.  It has been a strange year all round and the last couple of months have been more stressful and worrying to say the least. Things are now on the up and thus I feel it is time I get back into updating this little blog of mine, and this little catch up is to say I am coming back.  I am planning more regular content, showcasing my crafty endeavours, what I'm reading and life in general I am also pondering a better and more productive blog schedule for 2021. Watch this space. With love and wishing you a good week Lesley xx

Happy Birthday Mr Pickle xx

What a Year!!!!

What a year 2020 has been.   Coronavirus has virtually dominated the whole world and the way we live our lives have altered for all.  We haven't been able to do all the things we would normally enjoy do,  due  to the national and local tiered restrictions imposed on us.  We haven't been able to visit friends and family, enjoys holidays and breaks away, do so called normal things like shopping and visits to cafes and restaurants and for some people haven't even been able to work.  To say the very least, this year has been tough for all. On a personal level, I've been lucky in the fact that I only experienced a very tiny period off on furlough and I am currently still working.  My husband also has been able to work throughout the pandemic, although he has been working from home. I haven't felt much like shopping so have only been shopping in the supermarkets if I can't get an online delivery.  Anything else I am afraid have come from Amazon....
