    Birdwatch: Saw my first swift of the year in the park this morning. Yet to see the house martins return to the terrace though

    Finished reading: Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro ๐Ÿ“š

    Should have trusted my judgment and skipped this one. Me and Ishiguro donโ€™t get on. The start was promising but after half way I was just waiting for it to be over.

    Finished reading: Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan ๐Ÿ“š

    Subtle yet powerful, a gem of a book ๐Ÿ’Ž

    Managed to score some tickets to next yearโ€™s World Championship snooker. Already looking forward to it ๐Ÿคฉ

    Finished reading: Ghost Town by Patrick McGrath ๐Ÿ“š

    Not really much to say about this collection. The stories clipped along but didnโ€™t really move me in any direction.

    Excited for the big showdown in the womenโ€™s Six Nations today. Think it could be close ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

    Finished reading: Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr ๐Ÿ“š

    I really enjoyed this. The evidence is how fast I read it - just a couple of weeks is record breaking for me for a book over 500 pages

    We received two huge Easter eggs in the post with no note to say who they are from. Iโ€™ve got it into my head that I canโ€™t eat mine until I know who it is from. Now Iโ€™m in a battle with myself. Who will winโ€ฆ my stubbornness or my inner chocoholic?

    Taking some time off over the past week has given me some space to think about what each of my blogs is for. Not being clear on this is one of the many reasons I've not been publishing much lately. Think I've got it sorted now and I'm looking forward to getting into a bit of spring cleaning

    We took advantage of a break in the clouds this morning and beat the rain. I think Aggie enjoyed her first visit to Rising Sun Country Park too

    Finished reading: The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper ๐Ÿ“š

    Took me a little while to get into this. Lining it up for a re-read later in the year, feel the arrival of Spring didnโ€™t fully allow me to get immersed in the atmosphere of midwinter.

    Day 21: tiny #mbmar

    Picked this collection up on the beach a few weeks ago

    Two small colourful pebbles, a piece of bottle green seaglass and a shard of deep orange shell sitting on the palm of a hand

    Day 20: houseplant #mbmar

    Not many to choose from - I chose this because itโ€™s the only one that looks remotely healthy ๐Ÿ˜ณ

    Wooden robot and a lamb's tale sedum

    Day 19: analogue #mbmar

    Colourful rag clock hanging on a wall

    Day 16: road #mbmar

    Day 15: patience #mbmar

    As the temperature drops outside Iโ€™m waiting to hear whether hockey training is going ahead tonight

    Crossed legs in dark blue jeans and suede slippers. Armchair in background

    Finished reading: Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper ๐Ÿ“š

    Bloominโ€™ marvellous! Sending this on to my Mum to read to my nephews at bedtime - two things they love are quests and King Arthur.

    Day 14: horizon #mbmar

    Not much to see out there today, much like this pic from the same time last year

    A foggy day looking out to sea. both sky and water are various shades of grey

    Day 13: connection #mbmar

    One connection in a piece of neon art yet to be installed

    Two wires protruding from a glass tune containing neon
