It has a been a completely strange month, I have no mojo for reading which I found strange. I only read 9 books which is still good but low for me. Anyway, this month! So mini-me went back to school in Y2!!! Although, she has given me a lecture on how she is not a mini-me, in her words, “I am me!!” LOL. Love her.
We had the yearly Mum trips away camping and well for a change I might have had too much to drink LOL. We found an awesome rope swing so obviously had to have a go! Also, family conker match started, it is that season after all!
Well I finally got my pond, we spent a fortune on it and when we bought it we were under the impression that we could have fish as we specifically said we couldn’t get electrics to the pond. We were then sold the wrong thing!! So had to take it all back and get more plants for the pond then the delivery went wrong with the pond. We then got some paint made up at B&Q and me and the mini one have started to paint the rocks around it. Got some lights, a fairy house and gnomes. So it’s been interesting, but the POND IS IN!!
And more flowers are starting to bloom, my new favourite Ostrich Asters – Lush!
Ok, on to the bookish things!

Glad you finally got your pond sorted, it’s looking good. Don’t worry about your mojo, it will return when it’s ready. Just focus on something else and enjoy whatever occupies you instead.
Zoé says

Love your pond and flowers! Are you able to fish in it after all? I’ve got a few of those books as well including Stuart Turton’s latest!
Zoé says
No not really. We might be able to get some goldfish and bottom feeders providing the plants oxygenate the pond and the fountains keep going. But maybe, if not it’s going to stay as a wildlife pond and hope frogs come along. Ooh we defo have the same taste in books! x
nickimags @ The Secret Library Book Blog says
A wildlife pond sounds great especially if you frogs! x
Zoé says
Fingers crossed we do! Will keep you posted at the moment it looks like it will overflow LOL x
