DAY 29!!!!!! We are sooooo nearly there!!!

So back in Lockdown 1 (remember that far back?!) I set myself a little challenge to sit down every day and read a chapter of my book and I kept to it.... for a while.....To "give myself permission" to stop for 10 minutes and read a chapter or two.... and I am resurrecting that plan tomorrow  (I had better - I have book club in 10 days and I haven't started the book yet but don't tell them!) and I intend to see it through December (maybe not on 25/26th !!)....

I have a pile of books next to my bed which is like my own little personal version of browsing Waterstones (which is one of my absolute pleasures) and I have a pile of magazines next to the bath and with Good Housekeeping, Countrylife and Woman and Home, I like to think I am quite grown up.

So how about you join me? Start today and give yourself permission to pick up a book and sit down for just one chapter.... or .... just DO NOTHING

I dont know about you but I am tired and today, I am taking my own advice!!! 

 I need to learn to do nothing. I am the world's WORST at multi screening - watching Strictly while browsing the internet while checking my emails.. while what's apping.....and THAT. Must. Stop ....so .... today - let's do the running around and walking the dog and putting lunch together and all the other things that Sunday requires and then let's just STOP for a point this afternoon and either read a chapter or two or do NOTHING! Just be present and still. That is my challenge to you but also and honestly to me!!

Let me know your book of choice - who doesn't love a good book recommendation ? I'm about to start Amercian Dirt which is my book club book (and I am led to believe is absolutely un put downable) and then I cannot WAIT to start my new Victoria Hislop and I just inhale anything she writes.

Forgive the odd bauble and fairy light but the general attitude is that there are no rules this year (well, apart from all the rules) so get those lights up and what the heck!

See you tomorrow for THE LAST DAY OF OUR CHALLENGE XX
