Ok, baths are just boring. I've said it, I stand by it, even a book doesn't help.

Ohh, lucky you! One of my all time favorite authors. Are you starting with Miss Silver or the non-series golden-age books? All are good but I'd recommend giving the first Miss Silver a miss (Grey Mask I think). πŸ˜€

As well as the birds who visit our garden, we have a family of four squirrels.
I can't tell them apart but that hasn't stopped me giving them romantasy names and overly complicated backstories.

Discovered our garden has turned into Narnia overnight.
Am off to check the shed for Mr Tumnus or Turkish Delight (everyone loves Turkish Delight, right?).

Fact: I love a 'real' book but eBooks have saved me from being crushed to death on multiple occasions.

Have you read Jasper Fforde's 'Early Riser'? Great book, set in a world where humans hibernate πŸ₯±
