Drove back to town, I went to the opticians & was like “we were here 2 hours ago, mum picked up new glasses so gave away the old pair but she has Alzheimer’s & wants them back” poor lady looked confused but was very helpful & I couldn’t help but cry when she showed me the glasses recycling bin.

As a friend works there I got to go to the preview night for the botanic lights which was lovely. Perfect weather for it too as it was dry and pretty mild.

Finished The Republic of Salt by Ariel Kaplan and it’s such a fresh & interesting book. This series is inspired by Jewish myths & history & I love that two main POVs are old ladies. Fantasy is often a young characters world so it’s great seeing how much they impact the story #booksky

Completed the 10km #ShineWalk in 2 hours 14mins (including a pitstop). It was around the 8km mark that my legs started to ache but it was really fun and there was such a great atmosphere. I’m really glad I did it and thank you to everyone who’s donated!

Looks like my bookshop crawl around town today was good preparation for my 10km charity walk next week - and I’m so close to my fundraising target!

#TheHack was So Good! There was so much I didn’t know like how Gordon Brown put together the Avengers of press, politics & police to fight Rupert Murdoch. The early police-focused episodes weren’t so gripping but when both sides of the story came together to show the vast corruption it was great.
