Finished reading: This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar 📚
This one grew on me. I enjoyed the letters but felt a little lost in the rest of the narrative. Also not sure I’ve ever read a co-authored fiction book before, and if I hadn’t have known I couldn’t have told you that was the case.

When I follow baking recipes two things happen without fail: the cooking time is longer and the amount of items made is always short.
It’s so disappointing when your tasty pint isn’t listed on Untappd 😞🍺

Last night’s pre-film pint. Contrary to what the glass says it’s Bohemian Northern Brown Ale brewed by The Durham Brewery.

Saturdays from September to April = hockey days. Slight anomaly today as playing in goal with all this clobber on (we won 2-1 btw).
Pre-match nerves on another level today, making my annual cameo in goal 😬

Digging into the archives today because the story’s so good. An internet friend sent me a bow tie, it arrived just in time for a wedding we were going to and was the perfect match for the dress Izzy had picked out to wear. That’s magic 🪄
