All the children hone today for a belated birthday and early graduation celebration. Had to ditch the barbecue due to the rain, so homemade bagels instead 🥯
Ten very fine (if I say so myself) homemade bagels on a cooling rack waiting for all the family to arrive for lunch.

Cheeky Monday off to stretch out the birthday weekend with a trip to the beach. Perfect.

A younger Welsh Springer spaniel running on the beach with his rainbow coloured mini rugby ball in his mouth. Living his best life. A Moxy stretch of sand and a choppy North Sea looking south from Hunmanby Gap on the Yorkshire coast.

This. It’s a gripping, shocking and fascinating read.
A picture of the book I Love Russia by Elena Kostyuchenko - a fascinating read about the Russia we outsiders don’t usually get to see.

Bonjour
A picture of the buildings at one end of the Jardins du Palais Royal in Paris, with an attractive cloudy sky with the sun shining behind the clouds. A fancy metal water feature in the foreground with people enjoying the spring sunshine. Precisely manicured trees in an avenue along one side of the Jardin du Palais Royal in Paris. Glimpses of pink magnolias in full flower behind on a warm spring day with a mainly blue sky. A fountain near the National Library Paris, with a cute couple taking a selfie. The lady wearing a striking red outfit with matching beret.

Quick work trip to Johannesburg
Coffee and a Nordic noir novel. Just the thing to read in 28 degree heat in Jo’berg Setting sun over a golf course. It looked much better in real life. Sign (quite high up) on a tree warning Do Not Urinate Here. A dramatic orange and purple sky over the golf course, ahead of a thunderstorm. It’s a hot and very sticky evening.

I had a bit of a slowdown in reading over Christmas so I’m still reading The Girl In The Tower. Which is perfect for a dark, cold January.
Book cover of The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden. The second book in a trilogy based on Russian folk tales with the perfect winter vibe

How can you get into the Christmas spirit if you haven’t had your tree delivered to your car by a Newfoundland?
