Finished reading: Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead 📚
Enjoyed this adventure yarn and getting to know Marian Graves. Wasn’t sure about the need for the modern plot, but it made itself known in the end.
In my accountability group this morning I appreciated being asked what I am looking forward to this week as well as what I need to get done
Super excited - just bought tickets to see my first Red Roses match live. Taking my Dad back to Welford Road where we used to spend every Saturday hanging out and watching rugby when I was a kid.
Just updated my /now page ekcragg.co.uk/now/
Finished reading: Do Pause by Robert Poynton 📚
This book has prompted so many questions for me to explore around how I create and use pauses in my life and work. Highly recommend.
Watching rugby with my wife. “I like their bonnets” she says 🤣
One of my favourite things to do is a solo trip to the cinema. It felt good to be back there yesterday after too long.
I watched Nightmare Alley which is definitely a film of two halves.
Spotted my first snowdrops in the park today and was pleased to see the friendly bullfinches are back.
Roll on Spring.
Finished reading: Saltwater: Winner of the Portico Prize by Jessica Andrews 📚
An absolutely fantastic first novel. Really engaging with a distinctive style and structure.
Pure luck. Anyone ever got it on the first guess?

More storm damage in the local parks. Grateful to have been able to stay indoors yesterday after hockey was cancelled because the goals kept blowing over!
Weekend craft project
Oh what a beautiful day
My favourite everyday loaf is Dan Lepard’s sour cream sandwich bread. Here’s my first bake of the new year
The quality of the search function in the tool I use to track my reading is the deal breaker for me. I was too often disappointed with the first replacement I found for Goodreads. Happily though Epilogue is spot on. Thanks @manton
Today I am grateful for being able to spend Christmas with my parents.
And I am looking forward to eating trifle for pudding 😋
Currently reading: The Books of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin 📚
Reached the halfway point today by finishing The Farthest Shore. The more I read, the more I wonder why I’ve never been here before.
Just been to check storm damage in my local park. Thankfully it’s come off lightly with just a couple of trees uprooted and branches down
Today I am grateful for central heating.
And I am looking forward to an evening of creative fun.
