Hello Everyone!
Today is International Teacher’s Day! So I wanted to wish all my fellow teachers a massive Happy International Teacher’s Day. You all deserve a massive pat on the back and a big well done especially during the chaos that is 2020.
Well done everyone and keep up the amazing work but also remember to look after yourselves as well.
Hello Everyone,
I hope you all have a good week planned ahead. So here is what my week has been like in the blogging world.

Books I have Acquired
Well September got off to a great reading start and then studying started and everything has sadly slowed down. I’m doing a lot of reading for my MA and doing extra reading for my dissertation but not so much of the fun books that I blog about. Although I’m hoping to do something fun for my dissertation.
So here is my September…

Happy Friday Everyone!
I hope everyone has some good book plans this weekend.
The poem I have chosen is actually one of Shakespeare’s Sonnets.
Sonnet Number 8
Music to hear, why hear’st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy;
Why lov’st thou that which thou receiv’st not gladly,
Or else receiv’st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Resembling sire, and child, and happy mother,
Who, all in one, one pleasing note do sing;
Whose speechless song, being many, seeming one,
Sings this to thee: ‘Thou single wilt prove none.’
William Shakespeare
Hello!
Well this week has mainly focused on studying and teaching to be honest but here is what else I have been up to.
Walking
The walking is going strong when it isn’t raining.
Cats
We had to take our one cat to the vet, she is all ok but it was a traumatic experience for my husband and myself. I’m the one who has to catch the cat which is always rather a worry.
Knitting
The scarf is still going strong. I am already planning my next challenge but I must make myself finish the scarf first.
So there it is, a rather quiet week but got lots of work done which is always good.
