I'm a bit sad.
Mike and Joyce leave for Palmerston North this afternoon.
Might not see them again for a while.
She loves neon green, so I better start hunting some down .... lol!
Our FBG group have started a New Year Challenge.
We have until February 28th to do everything on the BINGO Card:
Today I'm going to buy a Kindle. I had one but it died years ago. So, getting another Kindle means I can read as many books as I want, without having to buy actual books and store them.
I used to be a massive bookworm, from the age of about 10 on.
I would finish a book every couple of days. In fact, it was rare if I wasn't reading a book.
The past (probably) 12 years or so reading books just stopped.
No idea why really. It will be good to get back into reading.
Right, I am going to roll over and snooze for a bit longer, then see what everyone is doing today.
It's been so lovely spending so much time with family the past week or so.
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what I will be up to today. Probably trying to move my fingers/wrist. I am doing that compulsively since I have a removeable cast now. Starting to worry that I may have permanent damage. But hopefully, it is all normal, and I am just being paranoid. Can't really go outside. It is still negative 30 degrees. Maybe start a new puzzle!
My reading history is EXACTLY the same as you! Very few books read in the past 10-12 years. When prior to that I was ALWAYS reading a book. Blame it on internet / netflix / etc.
My Kindle has to be at just the right angle to charge up. I haven't read in quite awhile either!
ReplyDeleteI do Audible books so I can sew and do gardening while I listen. My whole family uses the same Audible library. I have been a member for years. I pay a monthly fee.
ReplyDeleteI realize things are different, but our local library system has online books for free, both tablet and listening versions.
I love FBGs bingo sheet. Very appropriate in the heat wave were having. Always sad when family go home. I just come home from Napier and it's very lonely considering I can't drive anywhere. Kj
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the FBG's 👍👍 getting mentally prepared for going back to work tomorrow 🥺🥺 drive safely Mike and Joyce 💙💙
ReplyDeleteGreat idea from Vickie - audio books allow you to get on with other stuff. You can get them for free from the Auckland Library so I presume the same would apply in Hamilton.
ReplyDeleteI am on my third kindle and have the app on my phone so I can read wherever I am. I love books but the convenience of the kindle means I can have as many as I want on hand. If I go below a dozen ready to read I get twitchy. I was the same with proper books so you can imagine how many I gave to the op shop. Because there are so many inexpensive titles I read books I wouldn't normally.
ReplyDeleteI use the kindle app on the iPad and phone and am such a tight a** I usually get the free books
ReplyDeleteLovly photo with Stew and the little boys (not so little)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I am a little envious of you all in the pool - I'm afraid I would not be unhappy with that heat. We arrived back home from our Xmas and New Year family visits yesterday in a blizzard, and it is SO COLD ☹ Don't think we will be moving far in the next few days but enough to keep us busy taking down decorations/tree and unpacking and catching up with washing. Lovely to see all your lovely photos of family over the holidays.....all the children getting so grown up ! I'm thinking of my dear Mummy today on her heavenly birthday 💔
ReplyDeleteBelated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to and the family. Looks the holidays were super busy. All the best for 2022.
