Iāve launched my website on Monday, and Iām so proud of it. Iām using code from 2003/2004 for it, and itās perfect! I still have a lot of things to add to my website, but Iām taking my time with it now the site is up. :DĀ
Ā I did so much tidying in my office, itās amazing. I know where EVERYTHING is near my desk, and thatās a bloody miracle. Still havenāt found my stupid mini printer thoā¦ Could be in a bag I forgot to sort throughā¦ (can you tell my office is STILL a mess?)
Olly from Pagecord has imported my blog posts from this year and the end of last year. Iāve decided not to keep my blog posts from earlier years online. So many things have changed!Ā
I loved this blog post by Chris OāDonnell about a camping trip. And look at all the pictures!
I was in the mood for a sweet little romance and Ready or Not by Cara Bastone delivered. I gave it āļøāļøāļøāļø, mostly because I was so completely in love with the hero of the story. Heās the cutest cinnamon roll.
Weāve just finished watching the first season of Legend of Korra, it took me a long time to like it, but the last episode was at least stellar. It was so good to see a certain character again. The start of the second season had me shout: āhe is a villain!ā at least ten times. Korra is a tad naiveĀ :D
Read another Cara Bastone, Call me Maybe, and, well, itās safe to say that my yearning for fluffy romance has been subsided. I give it āļøāļøāļø. This one has a plucky heroine, so so so plucky that you want to smack her over the head with a gift box (as thatās what she creates). I did like her brother a lot tho, and heās in the next book, so Iām going to read that one, and hope his heroine doesnāt want me to pull the hairs out of my head in annoyance :D (update: nope, I couldnāt do it)
Iāve finished reading a Witchās guide to magical innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna and I give it āļøāļøāļøāļø. It makes me a bit sad that I didnāt love this book as much as the very secret society. Iāve pondered this for a day or two and realised two things: I hate someone being a villain for villainās sake, and I hate to be reminded why a book is so wholesome on every four pages. I did like some of the side characters, and thatās why the rating stays, but the rating may turn out even lower if I think about it any more.Ā
I wrote a blog post on my anxiety about a hospital visit tomorrow. Iām using one of my favourite Stoic quotes to remind myself that Ā Iām not in control.Ā
I desperately needed to sort through my notes (WHAT a mess, really!), and Iām rewatching Madam Secretary while doing that. The first season is just excellent, after that it goes a bit downhill, imho. The last season is justā¦ ugh. I hated it. Canāt there once be a tv show about a woman in power who doesnāt have misogynistic *ssholes obstructing them in every way? It gets old SO fast.
Really enjoyed the Fridayās stage of La Vuelta. Such a great race and such amazing mountain views!Ā
And as I missed putting pictures with my weeknotes, I'm bringing back the snapshot of the week.
