It has been really busy this week with work and helping Eldest with his work and also sorting out the swimming club membership. Of course this meant I missed World Book Day yesterday! Since all the controversy over the altering of Roald Dahl’s books earlier in the week and certain pressures by woke groups, World Book Day has become a bit of a mindfield for parents. Our Boys always used to go dressed as Harry Potter as they were their favourite books, although I do remember once having to make a costume for Youngest as Thomas The Tank Engine! I personally think that the adults should leave children’s stories alone and stop trying to put their hang ups onto children!
Speaking of books I started a new one this week and got to Chapter three and gave up! Normally I do not do this and usually stick with it but this one was impossible. It was one of the books sent to me by my Year of Books and it was a real miss. The author was so busy thinking up wonderful alternate words that it was unreadable. I have now started my Christmas Stephen King book and it is so much better!
DH is at Ponds Forge in Sheffield all day tomorrow at another Club’s Open Event and he has gone there tonight to set up with Youngest & Girlfriend helping. He also has a swimming meeting on Sunday so I am going to do some jobs and you never know may be some sewing too! I am also hoping that next week will not be so frantic.
We have been having some frosts and are due to have some more in the coming days and hopefully that will get rid of all the niggly colds and coughs that everyone, including me, has! Then we may get some lovely Spring sunshine and bring the spring flowers out. The other thing I hate about this month is that we will be putting the hour forward on March 26th. I always think that I never recover from that hour going forward until we get it back at the end of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve brought books back to the library because I just can’t get interested. Love the beautiful red blooms on your tree! Our clocks go forward next weekend. YUK! I wish they’d leave it exactly where it is.
I hate it when I can’t get into a book!! I want to love any book I read, but it doesn’t always happen. I can’t wait to spring forward!! I love June for the long days of sunshine! I want the sun to be up before I am and for it to go down a few hours before I go to bed. I’d like to stay on the Daylight Savings Time all year – I always hated going out to do evening chores by 3 PM so I had daylight to work in during winter. I find setting my clocks forward on Saturday afternoon, well ahead of the event, I don’t have any problems with the change. I hope you and Molly’s Mom have it easier this year!
