Book number 18 in 2024 is Close to Death by Anthony Horowitz 📚

Finished reading: Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera 📚 I really enjoyed the use of a podcast to tell the story within the narrative. Very clever.

Something a little different. I’m currently reading: Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera 📚

Currently reading: Past Lying by Val McDermid 📚

Finished reading: The Last Devil To Die by Richard Osman 📚

I’ve enjoyed all the Thursday Murder Club books, but this one resonated in a way I wasn’t expecting.

Writing a daily journal is great for clearing your mind.

I’ve mentioned it before, but if you need to have a rant, get something down and out of your head. <>

Not every day is a rant; it’s also great to remember where you were, what you were doing and who with.

I love my journal

Book number 15 for 2024: The Last Devil To Die by Richard Osman 📚

Finished reading: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin 📚

The Easter market was in full swing in the Old Town Square in Prague. We were lucky it started at the weekend. Such a fantastic atmosphere.

#travel #prague #easter

We had drama today! Well, we saw my step-daughter perform for her “A” level exam and it was brilliant.
Having heard all about it, it was finally good to see it all come together.
Tomorrow, my wife and I are flying to Prague for a couple of nights. I can’t wait.
Early get up though - 2am!!!

That’s Wednesday done. Lots to catch up on after 2 days off!!
Tomorrow I’m in half a day as I’m going to watch my step-daughter perform her ‘A’ level Drama work. She’s been working and rehearsing so hard for this, I know it will be fantastic.

For my 13th book this year, I’ve started to read Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin 📚

I’ve finished reading: Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel by Bonnie Garmus 📚
What an extraordinary book. I don’t usually write a review, but this was wonderful. Having seen the TV series, I was excited to read the original and I wasn’t disappointed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s been a busy week, but tomorrow excitement reaches fever pitch.
Can’t say more right now; but it involves travelling to London.
An early night is called for due to a 7 o’clock start in the morning.

#WeekendFun

Why am I so excited that my new Lego Millenium Falcon has arrived? Feel like a kid in a candy store!! Shame I’m going to have to wait until later before I can get started!

I watched the AppleTV+ series so decided I should also read Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel by Bonnie Garmus 📚

I quite enjoyed The Trial by Rob Rinder 📚

I really enjoy journaling. It helps to get things straight; although it’s more like a diary.
I highly recommend it, whether written in a physical journal, or using an app. I use Day One to capture my thoughts.
Today is day 1146…

Back at Base is a podcast series about the off season in Formula 1.
Behind the scenes, interviews and more from drivers and team members of Williams and Mercedes.
Definitely one to listen to

Today is the first race of the new Formula 1 season…

I’m currently reading: The Trial by Rob Rinder 📚
So far, so good…

Paris Charles De Gaulle airport is one of the most stylish airports I’ve been to for a long time.
Apart from the size (it’s absolutely enormous) the shops and restaurants put others I’ve seen to shame.

@aeryn We've had a lovely time. Hope you've had a good weekend too

@aeryn Just had some upsetting news. I'm OK, but others are not in as fortunate position right now. Thanks

@aeryn I can see it... is that right?

@SimonWoods actually never considered that... might think about that. Thanks

@SimonWoods I'v'e downgraded to Disney+ Standard from my renewal. As much as I enjoy the content, I can't justify £110...

@aeryn Indeed.. it's scary how fast...

@dfr thanks. much of the fun is the research 😀

@aeryn Same here. I don't like it; even though I have a presence, I don't visit - it makes me quite anxious

@xxxx I could never make Notion work for me. I'm a simple soul and need a simple system. Apple Notes works for me too.

@aeryn sometimes just writing it is enough. I’ve done that before, then just sat on it. But I felt better in myself.

@samjc I love this. My kids were about 8 when they first saw it, but I was on to a loser - it wasn't until we all went together to see 'The Force Awakens' that they appreciated it... wasted years. Me? I still watch them again and again...

@manton thanks for sharing. Much appreciated

@aeryn it was the latest version. I wasn’t that keen, but my son told me I had to watch! Who am I to disagree?!

@aeryn It's great television. Much better than the Tom Cruise movies. This Reacher is built like a tank!

@aeryn unfortunately not.

It’s amateur dramatics. It was the NODA (National Operatic and Drama Association) annual awards.

Huge event, lots of various awards. We were nominated for Best Drama (didn’t win).

@hollyhoneychurch Great pic. I need to get to the coast for some fresh, sea, air...

@ablaze I miss Fantastical for that reason, but can't justify the cost only for that feature. Hope Apple brings it one day??

@josh_____d It's great, isn't it. So well done. Happy New Year to you too. Is it still OK to say that, 17 days into the year?

@aeryn beautiful

@aeryn agree with the journaling. That’s a daily must-have for me. As for coping with IS, I just remember the reason I’m doing the job, and I feel better.

@maique that’s good to know 😳 Question is, what’s the cause?

@aeryn try with my code; so we both benefit. Costs you nothing. And you can add my code retrospectively, even if you’ve already signed up. www.TwosApp.com

@aeryn sometimes they’re the best days; getting stuff done, even though it’s not what you expected. Glad you’re feeling a bit better.

@maique It's a beautiful, sunny, day... shame I'm inside, looking at it!! Have a good day too

@iChris Have you seen the AppleTV series? I haven't read the book, so not sure how true it is to the written version, but it's darned good viewing
