26 for 2026

DundeeDoll

wow @tinkerbelluk 26 off your master list already. Very impressive and making me wonder if i should replace one of mine with a 26 master list… Anyway, here's my update for February. No idea why 1st insists on being bold or why it's put in a 2nd column. The first are all alphabets, the piano practice and declutters are 20 * 26 minutes per month (a bit behind with February but had a lot of work travel then a bad cold, all now done so playing catch-up), the other 4 are 26 times. Some alphabets are way ahead but are getting increasingly more difficult (I've already spotted the obvious Dundee A-Z of street art), because of the travel then illness I haven't been to the McManus museum yet. Added since last update are Edamame beans (protein) A light exists in spring (poem), Pak choi and chilli (soup), AI confidential and Nightmanager (TV), Lent and Ash Wednesday (Christianity), Jade Oolong and Fruit (teas) and finished The black Spectales (S for colours as books can't start with The or A)

01: 0 McManus
B02: 2 Knots
03: 4 Workout programmes
04: 3 Pop groups - 1 album listened to
05: 3 Classical composers - 1 piano piece learned
06: 3 Books read

Hope everyone is well. It certainly sounds like some of you are rocketing through the ‘26’ goals!

I’ve just put down my 4th book of the year - Way Back by Sara Cox. Another easy read which I enjoyed and found very absorbing. Set between London and a farm up north. But… it did have the odd typo which drives me mad. How can any book get all the way through to print with 4 incorrect words/spellings in it?!

Definitely on a run of easy reads at the moment but with work being crazy, I think they’ve been needed as a bit of escapism without taxing my stressed out brain.

26 books for 2026

1.You Are Here (easy read) 9/10

2. The Seven Murders of Evelyn Hardcastle (time-travelling murder mystery) 9.5/10

3. Love Untold (ending made a middling read worthwhile) 8/1

4. Way Back (engaging easy read with a farm theme and a few typos 8.5/10)

Morning chums hope everyones had a good weekend.

I've had to change a couple of things - as you do in life. On chart, things in green are completed, things in yellow are "in progress" & in red means target not reached. I do have a gap - haven't worked out what to fill that space with yet but it's in hand. The 260 days no added sugar should read 15 but I forgot to amend it.

So that's me up to 2nd March.

have a great Monday all xx
