In which I have forgotten everything I did this week because it’s 30 degrees outside and too hot for sensible Londoners; my brain is not capable of rational thought.
Books read
Still haven’t finished anything but did make some further progress with Nyctophobia. I am determined to finish it this week. DETERMINED, I tell you.
Books bought
- Down Among the Sticks & Bones by Seanan McGuire
- Hunger by Roxane Gay
- Mary Russell’s War by Laurie R King
- The End We Start From by Megan Hunter
Other stuff of interest
- It was a movie heavy week for me, starting with The Mummy (enjoyable nonsense), a rewatch of John Wick (in preparation for watching John Wick 2) and most importantly Wonder Woman which was all kinds of awesome.
- In four weeks time I will be retired, and I can’t pretend that I’m not excited
- You might have seen news of the awful fire at Grenfell House in London; a work colleague was involved (he and his family are now safe) and the rest of my organisation has rallied round and raised a fantastic amount of money. At a time when the news is all about how horrible people are to each other it’s heartening to see such kindness.
A quiet and still very warm week coming up; hope you all have a good one 😀
The Dowager Bride 
I do keep forgetting about Celsius and so when you say 30 degrees…it’s been hot here in the states too, but cooling down going into this weekend here where we live. I haven’t been reading much either, thanks/no thanks to a book sale at the library where I work. Hopefully I can pick it back up soon.

It’s not quite 4pm here and my weather app is telling me it’s 33C but feels like 36. I’m about to travel into central London on public transport #reallybadidea 😓🌞🔥
