Yet another week has gone by with no end in sight for the pandemic. Being able to distinguish weeks became a challenge months ago, so no surprises there. But the weather is getting colder and winter is coming (hopefully not Martin's winter - we had enough of that this year already). I used to love winter, I used to look forward to it. But for the past few years, it has tended to be a very gloomy season. I'm usually just looking forward to it ending. So, this year, it's going to be harder to get through the season, especially since we are all still mostly at home. Mind you, I don't mind the restrictions as they do have a useful purpose, but wish more people followed them well and that we had done a better job when the weather was warmer to keep the virus at bay so that it didn't have to last this long. But that argument probably won't stick anyways, as many countries are now facing second waves. At the end of the day, we really need a vaccine but I hope that isn…
Anyone out there still stuck in the cold? Not to rub it in, but it's been warm and pleasant out here on *this part* of the East Coast at least. We actually went out the other day dressed in single layers and it felt splendid, seeing as we ditched all those heavy jackets that was a literally a fixture on ourselves. Yesterday though, almost as if the weather was done with too much relenting, it was horribly windy. My family and I went to visit the D-Day Memorial in Bedford and we were literally flying across the circular structure.
I hope this stays. Because it means it's time to get on the road and begin the road trips! Sad though that all this unseasonal climatic changes have us to blame.
I've been having a brilliant reading week. I finished The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown - did I mention that I absolutely loved it? - and followed it up with two graphic novels - Fist, Stick, Knife, Gun by Geoffrey Canada and Stitches by David Small - and am now enjoying Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld (sequel to Leviathan). I hope to get to one more book by the end of the day.
You might have noticed that I've shaken up my sidebar a bit. I've been feeling that it's a bit cluttered, and was not too happy with some of the widgets. Moreover, I'm concerned that ever since I installed Disqus, my blog has been a little slow to load (anyone else felt the same way?). So I'm trying to make it speedier.

What's happening in the buzzing blogosphere on this beautiful Sunday?

Loved Stitches, and would like to read Weird Sisters as well.
Have a great week.
I agree, Disqus takes a while to load, but it's so much better than the custom Blogger comment system. It's so easy now to comment and reply!
