Day 7/8 on the bounce but what a f**king week for opening the good stuff. Totally forgot that I’d intended to have this on Xmas day & so here it is now, sending off the year. Always a challenge opening a special almost irreplaceable bottle beset with memories but this one 🙏💜🙏

Blimey! 9.2million steps this year - doubt I’ll do as much in 2024 as there is much difference to my travel plans but amazed and delighted that somehow my body has held up despite the multiple arthritis and chronic pain

Today “should’ve” been a dry day in this twixtmas time but the wine gods made me do it - a half bottle to avoid overdoing it

I adored Hotel Silence by the same author. This one is ideal for December being set around now. In the group I rated it higher than the others who may have had slightly different expectations from a book about a midwife in winter but I found it moving and meditative and oh so Icelandic

So far I’ve read about 65 #books this year, 10 of which have been translated from Japanese, by far the biggest single influence on my reading for the year. Probably around half of the books I’ve read have been translated.
Why not challenge yourself to #read something different?

For next year, we’ve decided to continue with another 12 countries
Starting with Taiwan, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania, Myanmar/Burma and Albania. I’ve not been to any of these countries but am starting the year in #Taiwan so have several Taiwanese #books on my #reading list…

Purple Teeth @thehh06.bsky.social · Dec 18

We “went” to Japan, France, Mexico, Armenia, Germany, Republic of Congo, Kenya, Colombia, Iraq, China, S Korea & Iceland.
My favourite of the 12 were these 4 very different #books

If you want to open your mind, #read! Yet most of us read only Anglophone literature from Britain, Ireland and North America. This year I hosted “lost in translation” an online book group where we met virtually to discuss translated fiction from around the word. 2023 Reading List #books

Hang in there 🙏 the darkest days are the darkest days but there’re always brighter days ahead 🤩 if it’s not all good in the end, it’s not the end. The trick is to keep breathing-go outside. Hug someone. be strong for your friends who’ve suffered loss then take strength from your friends who haven’t
