My little bit of this big World

Boring

This is book one of a trilogy, I had already read book three, it's about a young woman who has been to prison for murder and is trying to rebuild her life, it's a clever story of how people see each other, what's your worth. Book 13 read this year.

This is the second book, each story is a stand alone plot, there are refences to previous happenings, which does not effect the story, these are a very easy read, with a few twist in. Book 14 read this year.  
Another new author for me, I got it because of the title, I have read loads of books with similar themes, I loved the style of writing, he was a journalist, has a published book and worked on TV, but he's down on his luck, living near his sister, recovering from an attack. He uncovers a story, or is it, locals are not saying much. Book 15 read this year
We have had some great blue sky days, most morning this week has started with a light frost, it looks warm but here mid morning yesterday it was just above freezing. I'm still not complaining as our winters are really mild here along the south coast. 

I have been in the garden a couple times this week, I pulled the last of the leeks, hubby made leek and potato soup. My sweet-peas are sprouting, they are in my unheated greenhouse, I gave most plants a water, hoping things will grow in the coming weeks. I now have space in both of my raised veg beds, far to early to sow anything, I will cover the spots to warm up the soil.

I've pulled my cross stich project out again, I last stitched it here, almost a year ago, it's going to be a very organic design, and sadly I did not feel this second design looked right. I'm not sure how to progress other than finish this design. I've done nothing on my blog book, I should be working on 2023, my I'm just not in the mood to anything.

I'm still tired and I don't have much energy or willingness to do much, my sleep is disturbed through out the night, I don't think I am being woken up, the difference is how quickly I can get back to sleep.

    1. I always feel it's a bit bare at this time of year, soon the bulbs will be through and colour returns.

  6. I often really struggle to get to sleep and it's horrible. Sometimes, I find Dr Bach's Nightime Flower remedy capsules help. They're supposed to clear your mind which allows you to fall asleep more easily.

  7. I've read quite a few FM books and they always have a good twist and are easy to read. I loved the first two in the Housemaid series but didn't much care for the third one.
    We've had quite a few nice days this past week, it's nice to see a bit of sun. I haven't got round to sowing my sweetpeas yet, perhaps this week. Hope your sleep pattern improves soon, lack of sleep is no fun. Have a nice weekend
