It's Sunday and the rain has been coming down since last night. We have a mini pond out front where the water is collecting. I expect to see ducks before too long!
I am still adhering to the No Buy 2025 and making purchases only as needed. I don't buy books now either - I use the library and if they don't have my book/DVD, I utilize their inter library loan program to borrow a book from a participating source.
“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One,” Trump said at a press conference in August 2024, targeting voters who have been dissatisfied with the price of goods.
How's that going? 👆
This week....
Watching / We are still enjoying MASH and are on to season two now.
Just in from the library is season three of London Kills. We had watched the first two seasons a few years ago and never got back to it. Will see if it still appeals.
Reading / I just finished James Rebanks second book Pastoral Song.
For Mailbox Monday the library came through for me with three books.
A nonfiction by Terry Gross titled All I Did Was Ask
Rosamunde Pilcher's Voices in Summer
Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisted
I'll most likely start Brideshead Revisited as it's the book selected for The Classics Spin.
Hope your week is going well and you have lots of good books and joy in your life.
I remember reading several of Rosamunde Pilcher's novels in the 80s. I haven't gotten to the Waugh yet, but hope to read it before the next spin rolls around. M*A*S*H is a classic.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, Pilcher is usually a comfort read but i like her big fat novels best. I am already working on my next Spin List, revising a bit but saving a few titles. Thanks for the visit.
DeleteEnjoy Waugh. It’s been a while since I read his books.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Harvee!
DeleteThank you, Tina, for linking to the buying ban. I've been doing it for a while now. It seems like that's the only way some people listen. Greed has no limits, I think.
ReplyDeleteI'm using my library a lot. I think I have twenty things requested for the spring!
Deb, if you google the term you can find many articles about it. You are correct, greed has no limits...sadly.
DeleteThat's a good amount of requests and i have a similar list.
Will you be reading Brideshead Revisited this week? Maybe I'll read it with you, lol. An e-copy cost me .99 cents. I haven't read it before. I hope your rain stops and hopefully our wind will stop. It's like 60 mph today. Loved watching MASH in the '70s.
ReplyDeleteSusan, it's STILL raining and it was hard to find a break to get Loki out. I can start reading Brideshead tomorrow if you want to join in. .99 is a great price!
DeleteYou have high winds there. Our son in Nebraska gets days on end of high windy weather. Nothing stops the wind across a plain.
I’m a big MASH fan and have come back to watching it over and over since the series completed. I am also on a book buying ban - we need to save as much money as possible to deal with the tariffs!
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% about the saving of money and mkaing a statement any way we can. We are also big fans of MASH and it's a fun series to revisit.
