October Recap 2020

Geoff W

Sunrise over Carson Beach in south bostonOctober was a blur, work continues from home and the only thing to change things up was a long weekend out in the Berkshires (western Massachusetts) for Indigenous People’s day. The weather has been changing rapidly here, my morning walks have been completely in the dark and this past Friday (October 30) it SNOWED (end of post picture).

We visited Hancock Shaker Village which was really neat (two photos below) and drove through a lot of the small towns and just enjoyed spending some time in Lenox and Stockbridge that we’ve visited in the past but only fleetingly as we’ve avoided the crowds in the past.

September Recap 2020

Geoff W

Rows of apple trees with a super tall sunflower plant with multiple flowers on itIt’s been a super quiet month on the reading front. The class I’m taking has sucked up most of my reading time and what time I’m not reading I’m spending knitting.

It feels like ages ago that we were in New Hampshire for a week, but it was only a month ago as this posts but yeah 2020 is still flying. Other signs fall arrives: work is picking up, we went apple picking and leaf peeping, and all the knitting 😀 We’re heading out to western Massachusetts for the long weekend and that’ll be nice.

August Recap 2020

Time continues to fly by in the time of COVID. I, like most of the world, have been working from home for almost six months. There are days it feels routine and days it absolutely doesn’t. Thankfully, we got out of town to visit NH for the first week of September. We were originally supposed to be in Alaska for the roommates 40th birthday, but for obvious reasons that didn’t happen.

July Recap 2020

Lamp casting geometric patterns on a white tableAnd there goes July.

Not going on vacation and not physically going to work has made this summer move by even faster than usual. We’ve spent most of it hunkered down in the AC because it’s been miserably hot in Boston off and on. We have been able to squeeze in some roof deck time in the evenings when it cools off, but for the most part it’s AC all the way.

Books and Bookish Things
I got a lot of reading done this month, 16 books. That just behind the 18 I read in May, but well ahead of the 12 in April! This pandemic has really done a number on my reading (oh hey, MM Romances :-D).

A Decade of Blogging

Geoff W

close up image of the #10 on a houseWhat a year. I’m still trying to comprehend how the last 1/3 has played out between coronavirus and global demonstrations against systemic oppression and working from home since March, like it’s just been a weird year since my last blogiversary.

Since last July 20, I have read 98 books. That is SHOCKING, but not really with the number of romance novels I’ve plowed through since March, but stills seems like a really high number. I’m glad over the past year I’ve continued reading whatever I want with little rhyme or reason, I’ve steadily inched closer to 700 books read and blogged about since I started blogging, and I surpassed 1,000 posts on here in the past year.
