2020 - 'Nothing in your life will change until you make the decision to change'

I just use my Fitbit for the time these days, it serves a dual purpose of telling me the time whilst also showing me how woefully disappointing my step count is 😬
I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you   I had a cheap version of a fitbit a few years ago, and it annoyed me that I needed to switch it on to get the time.  I prefer a watch that I can glance at.  The watch was only £15 before vouchers, so I didn't break the bank I use my phone for the step count but I don't look that often as it's too low

I watched the Secret Garden again recently... not as good as reading but easier...

I think mines broke 🙄...to be fair, I mostly use it as a light to get to the loo in the middle of the night without treading on anyone furry 😬

When I was young I only knew one other person that read chalet school books but I've found quite a few more readers now that I'm in my fifties. If I found one that I haven't read I'd still buy it. I have to admit to a fondness for old style books - Angela Brazil, The Abbey Girls and I do recall the Bobbsey twins too. Malory Towers and St Clares anyone? 

Well done to Little Miss. I've been trying to talk myself into doing a parkrun for the last 3 years! Sorry you're not feeling too good.

I loved Malory Towers and St Clares too.  I have them on audiobook and still listen to them sometimes when I want something light at night.

Another vote here for Mallory Towers and St Clares. Its not that long since I was given some books to sell and found a couple of Mallory Towers stories which just had to be read.

Can we also add in all the Narnia books, pure escapism. When I was younger still Milly Molly Mandy was a great favourite too ❤️

Sorry your anxiety is creeping up.
I love all the nostalgic book talk.
My favourites are the Madeleine books...
