Wednesday is here again! Today we are saying farewell to July and hoping for an August equal in sunshine and summer excitement.

Hello my literary lovelies! I hope that you are all having a wonderful week. It's hard to believe that we are already halfway through July. After months of complaining about the cold, the entire British population has, true to form, turned to moaning about the heat. No dispelling of stereotypes to be found here, … Continue reading The Weekly Reader: 17/07/13
Well, what a day it has been. I am now officially minus one tooth and in the throes of post-tooth removal pain. Fortunately, I can at least enjoy the amazing half-chipmunk look that I am currently sporting. To aid me on the path of post-op recovery, I have thrown myself into finding a suitably inspiring … Continue reading Monday Musing: 15/07/13
