…thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting the 30 Day at Home Challenge
I thought I would get a lot of reading done during this pandemic but I seem to be busy doing other things, like baking, cleaning, blogging, playing piano, making art, walking the dog, connecting on-line through WhatsApp, Zoom and House Party and watching TV. I better get busy because I have to read at least one of these books before May 8 which is when our next on-line book club meeting is.
The first set of books are some of my art reference books, which I look at periodically.
Reading is a fabulous activity no matter the circumstances. If you don’t have electricity, how do you connect to the net?

Basically I don’t. If I really want to post something or check my emails I sometimes head to the library in the village but the wifi is very iffy there.

Ah. I see. That makes sense now. Yup must be feeling it more with the Covid arrangements. Our libraries have closed.

I’m only at the cottage in the summer. Right now I’m in the city where I have all the comforts that electricity brings me. I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding.

Right, I actually was wondering that if you had two residences. That makes sense now. Although you could have been someone who tries to live off the grid.

I think that both my husband and I feel that having had the experience at the cottage for so many years we could transition to living off the grid a bit easier than most.

I have always loved reading. I had some trauma in the past two years. My husband passed away in June 2018 and my son in July 2019. Since then I want to read, I really do, but I can’t get my mind in the right place to sit and read. I am hoping it will come back to me. At least I spend every day writing.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine losing my husband and then soon after one of my children. It’s good that you’re able to write every day. I guess writing on this blog counts as writing. It helps to talk about the happy days and the sad even if it is with strangers. I appreciate any comments that people make on my site. Thanks Christine.

I have a whole stack of books too but am not really getting any more reading done than I usually do.
