Happy Wednesday.
As I am doing so much studying into the Ancient Romans at the moment I have chosen a quote by Cicero (106-43 BCE). Cicero was a Roman statesman, lawyer and scholar who wrote extensively about philosophy, rhetoric and politics.
A home without books is a body without a soul.

Hello!
I hope everyone is doing well. We are in Lockdown number 3 so I thought today’s quote would be one attached to a cute picture of our cat Lyra. Lyra has taken to squeezing between my husband and myself on the sofa and finds this her absolute favourite spot at the moment so I have gone for a related quote.
Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.
James Herriot
Happy reading and stay safe.
Hello!
I can’t believe it is Christmas on Friday. I am sticking with my Christmas theme for my mid week quotes and this week’s is by Tom Baker. I love this quote because so many of the ornaments on our Christmas tree have special memories attached.
Some Christmas tree ornaments do more than glitter and glow, they represent a gift of love given a long time ago.

Time for another Christmas themed quote!
This quote is by Carrie Fisher (1956-2016) who was an actress, writer and comedian and who I will always know as Princess Leia.
I don’t think Christmas is necessarily about things. It’s about being good to one another.

I am continuing with my Christmas theme for my quotes and this week I have chosen Benjamin Franklin.
A good conscience is a continual Christmas.

As it is now Advent I have decided to go with a quote about Advent. I hope everyone has some good Advent calendars this year.
“The word advent means “expectation.” What advent can do for us is create a sense of hope.”

This week I have gone for a quote by Victor Hugo. Hugo (1802-1885) was a French poet, novelist and dramatist of the Romantic movement.
Life is a flower of which love is the honey.

Hello!
The quote today is inspired by The Great British Bake Off and my love of baking!
You can never have too much cake or cookies, cookies are yummy to.
Cooking and baking is both physical and mental therapy.

Happy Wednesday!
I think this quote is perfect for what is going on currently. Sometimes we have to remember to just breathe.
“You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens.”

I’m not sure how a happy a Wednesday it is with the prospect of another lockdown starting tomorrow but hopefully we can all stay safe and hopefully it will lead to better things.
My chosen quote today is by someone I studied a long time ago in A Level Drama, Anton Chekov. Anton Chekov (1860-1904) was a Russian playwright and short story writer. He was a medical doctor for most of his literary career.
“Everything on earth is beautiful, everything – except what we ourselves think and do when we forget the higher purposes of life and our own human dignity.”
Anton Chekov
Happy reading and stay safe.
