Morning Mushen and Beans - Friyay! Hoping the rain holds off, finishing work at 2pm today and planned to do some gardening. If it’s raining I might be forced to visit the garden centre πŸ˜‰

Morning Mushen and Beans, a glorious sky this morning in this part of Kent. Makes up for having woken up at 4am! The magnolia trees are full of promise.

Morning Mushen, BBC app says rain here until 6! Apple weather says until midday - I know which I would prefer. Hope the weather dries the apps and you get a run in.

Morning Mushen and Beans, damp start to the day here. A glimmer of blue sky though so we are keeping fingers/paws crossed!
Have a peaceful Saturday.

Morning Mushen, if the weather is a good as yesterday maybe don’t resist the garden, just the clearing. Hope you’re doing as ok as you can.

Looking at the choice of sessions on offer this is going to be a brilliant day of learning, sharing ideas and meeting other librarians!

Bless you, small steps and mixed feelings are all part of the journey. Take it easy on yourself.

Morning Mushen, so sorry to hear that, it’s a tough time for sure. Sending support, make sure you take care of yourself.

Half-term this week so the ideal time to visit your local independent children's bookshop. Personalised recommendations and great service. There are over 200 on my map so do take a look, and let me know of any I've missed.

Good morning Mushen, a truly thankless task. I used Anglo Doorstop Collections to donate plenty of Mum’s stuff over the years. Joy is they collect from you and you can decide which of their charities the funds go to.
