It's that time of year again and I'm in the throws of #depression it seems to get the better of me about this time each year. If others out there are suffering then do know you are not alone. I find that using brain.fm and reading helps.

Spent a lovely afternoon driving out to #GreatTew yesterday to visit #TheFalklandArms and I jokingly said to Lou that we're off to meet #SirDavidBeckam as he's a local.
Believe it or not when we arrived Sir David was actually there and sat outside having a pint. What a lovely fellow.

Indeed. It's funny when he sticks his tongue out like this. Unfortunately as he's a rescue cat he now only has two teeth.

So I'm currently 45 mins into a boost in Lichfield and I've not had a single order. It was bust up till 4pm and what's the betting it will get busy at 5pm when the boost ends.

I goto say that since finding the brain.fm app my reading is so much better and a lot more pleasurable.
I've been using it for two weeks now and it's helluva awesome. Try it my fellow #BookReaders.

Phew that took a good while to do yesterday. Got rid of my old bookcase and built up two new bookcases to match the first one. So much more space in my reading room now.

I got me a new book today seeing as I've been reading 800+ novels of late. I think that this will be a welcoming break. Anyone read this before?

A person is holding a hardcover copy of Lord of the Flies. The book cover is dark red with a black silhouette of a boy’s head. The boy’s eyes are depicted as large white circles, with one containing cracks resembling broken glasses. The spine of the book reads "Lord of the Flies" in white text, with a circular "FS" logo at the bottom, indicating a Folio Society edition. In the background, a cat is lying on a table near a TV.

A person is relaxing outdoors with legs crossed, wearing jeans, colorful socks, and sneakers. They are holding a copy of The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky, with a stylized cover showing a scale, hands, and a heart symbol. A brown leather bookmark embossed with the words “ENJOY THE NEXT CHAPTER” peeks out from the book.

Sat outside and just started reading what some people say is the Greatest Novel of all time. It's The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Love your thoughts on this book.

Working all day looking after my bunny who now needs Kidney Dialysis each night. Thought it a good time to read #TheIliad and enjoy a pint.

I'm currently reading this and it's infuriating that these big huge companies are all about profit over human health and also misleading advertisements.

My goodness, this book is changing my relationship with food already even though I'm halfway through it.
My days of consuming Processed Edible Substances are coming to an end.
