    Are you finding it difficult to concentrate on books? Since the virus breakout I feel like I’ve been reading but not taking it in. It’s driving me nuts 😩

    I've just been reading books that don't need much concentration, like Agatha Christie. Good unrealistic escapism is just what I need at the moment.

    I hope you feel better soon. Tensions are high at the minute so hope you and DD are ok. It would annoy me though if someone was constantly moaning. I probably would have snapped at Boots.

    She just gets really angry and I get that things are a bit weird right now but I'm constantly walking on eggshells trying not to upset her,she had had a go at me three times before I snapped but then made it to be my fault 😡
    I know that feeling. I usually end up apologising as well x
    Me too but not this time, I'm fed up with it, she seems to think she is the only one with problems 😡

    That's what I decided to do when I bought the book I've just read,I just wanted something that was light and easy to read and it did the trick, cheered me up and took my mind off things

    ive never read  any Agatha Christie novels, I have enjoyed the modern dramas on the tv recently although I understand they were tampered with,I do like a good mystery though so might have to have a look

    I love reading at the minute it is my escapism into a happier world. 
    I'm also no longer apologising for other people's poor behaviours so don't blame you OBL.
    That walk sounds lovely. We have done ducklings near us do were visiting them quite frequently x

    Your walk with B sounds lovely and I'm glad you managed to get the food you needed 🙂. Are you at work tomorrow?

    I love Agatha Christie. The stories are very of their time, but they're really good murder mysteries and great escapism.

    I used to love going to see Agatha Christie plays at the theatre with my mum. They do a summer season of them at our town’s theatre every year.

    Could you get your prescription delivered by Boots, they do a delivery service. Tried to get Mr SA’s through them but doctors refused it.

    I used to love those apricot jam Swiss rolls from M&S, my mum used to buy them, didn’t realise you could still get them, yummy 😋
