Awesome day out in the sunshine at Alnwick Garden
Finished reading: The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett 📚
A really engaging read. Left me wanting to seek out Bennett’s debut novel, The Mothers.
Finished reading: Treacle Walker by Alan Garner 📚
Best book I’ve read in a while. Raced through it in just a couple of sittings (which is rare for me) — I didn’t want to put it down.
Hmm, finished watching The Sandman and I still really don’t know how I feel about it. If anything I’m left a little underwhelmed 📺
Finished reading: I Didn’t Do The Thing Today by Madeleine Dore 📚
I enjoyed reading this and frequently found myself nodding along. My copy is covered in sticky notes and I’m looking forward to going back to review the highlights.
Finished reading: The End of Eddy by Edouard Louis 📚
Is it a novel? Is it autobiography? Does it matter? Either way I didn’t really manage to get into it and have to admit to skimming it towards the end.
What do you call a co-working space when you’re the only one in it? 🤔

Two days and two pretty dismal batting performances by England at the Commonwealth Games. They’re going to have to be at the top of their game in the field to win the bronze 🏏🥉
Finished reading: The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex 📚
Should have gone with my gut on this one and stopped reading before I’d committed too much to it. Meh 🤷🏼
Today I am thankful for the opportunity to get out and about (and walk more than 100 metres).
I am looking forward to a day at the beach tomorrow.
Negative test this morning = going on holiday this afternoon 🥳

On living in the moment: Today, this one-of-a-kind day
Currently reading: The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex 📚
Always a little apprehensive when starting a book bought as a gift. Let’s see how this goes.
It’s Norway vs Austria for us at the Euros tonight. I’ll always take the game with something to play for over a dead rubber ⚽️
Today I am grateful that it is significantly cooler in the north east than it is in the south.
I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
Today I am grateful for seeing Izzy again after five days apart.
I am looking forward to being at the Germany v Spain Euros match tonight.
