Mid Week Quote: A. A. Milne

Hello!

Sorry this is a day late, but now I’m back to work I’m running severely behind with my blog. I have 4 books to review and still my 2019 wrap up and 2020 aims to do! I will get there I promise. Better organisation is needed I know.

Today’s quote is by my favourite Winnie the Pooh character, Eeyore. I love Eeyore and collect everything Eeyore.

I love this quote as it always makes me giggle, poor Eeyore always did struggle with the exuberance of Tigger.

“Could you ask your friend to do his exercises somewhere else? I shall be having lunch directly, and don’t want it bounced on just before I begin. A trifling matter, and fussy of me, but we all have our little ways.”

Mid Week Quote: Brigham Young

Hello!

I have gone for another festive quote this week! I must admit I am rather looking forward to my Christmas break. A nice festive rest is just what I need.

This week’s quote is by Brigham Young.

“Love the giver more than the gift.”

Mid Week Quote: Winston Churchill

Hello!

Yesterday I went on the Severn Valley Railway Steam in Lights train and it was brilliant. Who knew a steam train covered in lights could be so much fun?

So this week I have gone for a Christmas inspired quote.

“Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.”

Winston Churchill

Here are a few pictures of yesterdays adventures.

Mid Week Quote: Mother Theresa

Happy Wednesday!

I have been busy buying Christmas presents and I have nearly finished which is unusual for me this early. I love giving presents, wrapping them I am not so keen on. So this week’s quote I have chosen because it is about giving.

“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”

Mother Theresa

I have included some Christmas pictures as well, because it is nearly Christmas!

The lights and the sunset are from a walk yesterday.

Mid Week Quote: Marcus Aurelius

Hello Everyone!

I am so sorry this is a day late. I have been desperately trying to get my first assignment handed in. Thankfully it is all handed in and now I get a bit of respite before starting the next one.

“Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”

Marcus Aurelius (170-180 CE)

Mid Week Quote: Lewis Carroll

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Are people getting into the Festive spirit yet? I haven’t started putting decorations up yet, that will be in December but I am reading Christmas books and playing Christmas music.

This week’s quote is by Lewis Carroll and one I can relate to as recently I am using my dictionary a great deal when studying and also using The Oxford Classical Dictionary almost daily!

“What a comfort a Dictionary is!”

Lewis Carroll (1893)

Mid Week Quote: Eleanor Roosevelt

Happy Wednesday!

We are half way through the week and I have finally finished the first part of my first assignment, second part is in on the 28th November so fingers crossed it all goes well. However, this does mean I am not reading as much as I would like.

The chosen quote today is by Eleanor Roosevelt who was the First Lady of the United States for twelve years. She was well known for championing the rights of minorities, youth, women and the poor.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Eleanor Roosevelt (1960)

Happy reading.

Mid Week Quote: Dana

Hello everyone!

Well this week I am back to teaching and half term already seems like it was ages ago. Due to this I have gone for an education quote for this week’s quote. This quote I completely agree with and try to always be improving my own skills and learning new things.

“Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.”

John Cotton Dana (1912)

Mid Week Quote: Thomas Edison

Hello my fellow readers!

I am very excited because tonight I am off to the theatre for a lovely meal, some cocktails and of course a play. The play is called Pride and Prejudice (Sort of). Apparently it is from the point of view of the servants, which should be interesting.

Anyway, here is my chosen quote for the week. This weeks quote is by Thomas Edison who was an American inventor who in his lifetime invented over 1000 devices.
