A mixed day weather-wise today but it didn't ever get as chilly as yesterday. I walked Bailey in sunshine and then took advantage of the blustery weather again with a washing load of bedding. I did get caught out with the rain this afternoon but got it in before it got too wet. I also put some bananas out of their misery this morning baking banana bread. And I finished this book on my kindle. One of the best authors of this type of book, I think. The premise was a bit farfetched but I was thoroughly hooked by the characters. And tonight I have created a list of all my reading and audiobook listening this year. A higher figure than I thought at 42, boosted by getting hooked on various cosy mystery series but also punctuated by some other types of books. I do like to us blip to log my annual reading total so have added my list below for my own reference. I'm not onto Sara Cox's latest book but I think this one - number 42 -  will be the last read of the summer.
