Ah sorry to hear that Jess, I'm in a similar work boat and I'm knackered so sending love and solidarity. Hope things ease up soon.
I read and enjoyed Lucy Barton and watched the Olive Kitteridge TV show. I think Strout is perhaps a marmite author? I've heard great things about Shy Creatures x

I started Emperor of Gladness and I feel it’s going to be quietly devastating 💙📚

What is it with crazy work at the moment, so many people have said the same. What books did you buy??! 📚☺️

Thanks Beth. We didn’t get much spare time as we wanted to spend as much as we could with Dad. But we squeezed in some time with old friends & a short shopping trips.
Fiji/any of the islands are on my bucket list. What a wonderful destination - have an amazing time, I’m here for holiday spam! Xx

Apart from the car crash which I hope you’ve recovered from your life seems to have mirrored mine. Got back on Monday from a very last minute trip to Nepal to see my sick Dad. And work is off the charts crazy. What is up with the universe?!
Sending mahoosive hugs your way 💜💜💜

We don’t have one. I have a strong sense of smell and everything that’s washed in a dishwasher smells funky or like eggs to me so I’m sticking with washing by hand!

Ahh you know Sheila, plodding along! Got back late on Monday from a last minute trip to Nepal to see my Dad who is not very well. Was good to spend time with him. Already back at work now and trying to keep the jet lag at bay! xx

Oh I'm sorry to hear that Beth - sending mahoosive hugs and hope that the break helps. Are you staying in Oz or going away away? Have a wonderful time xx
I'm ok ta, back from a very last minute trip to Nepal to see Dad who is not very well. Back working now with jetlag - like wading through jelly!

A Bit Lost - Chris Haughton
I am a bunny - Richard Scarry
The Somethingosaur - Tony Mitton/Russell Ayto
A Book of Sleep - Il Sung Na

I want to share intelligent, well thought out comments but I feel like a petulant child, flailing and screaming 'NOOOOOO, Ncuti had only just begun. BRING HIM BACK!!!'
And I'm really not sure how I feel about Billie being the Doctor, although I expect she's a bridging doctor.

Thanks Jess, Mum’s well. My brother is trying to buy a house and she lives with him but his landlord sold their house and so him, my SiL and niece are in a short let so we thought it would be less disruptive for my mum to stay with us for a while.
