What are you reading?

Yesterday I turned off everything and read my first library book in one sitting. It took over four hours but was well worth the read. I enjoyed the story and it felt uplifting.

I am now onto my second library book, but I don't like the story as much. Still, I shall read it in full and see what I think then.

My advice is you leave those articles: just sit down and read. Discipline yourself and don't let yourself become distracted. Giving yourself a  good four hours in the daytime will mean your book will be read.

So turn off the Internet. Sit down with your book and READ.

I finished reading my library book today: it ended well. It was a happy ending, in the sense the main character realized she didn't deserve a cheating husband. She stood her ground and went through with the divorce. She ended up living her ideal lifestyle after that. Because the man had never loved her: he preferred a different woman. He only went for the marriage to please his mother: he never had real feelings for his bride. Thankfully she had self respect and ended the marriage.

A well written story.

I am now onto my third novel, which is an easy romance book.

They are all legal, at least these days lol.

They include the following, although I am interested in many other things too.

Apart from my art and gardening which are really daily I have sewing. I have my flight simulator program too. Not something I use daily but with setting up and having a reasonable flight etc. it does tend to consume a couple of hours at least. From the more technical, nerdy, side of things I do make the odd helpful electronic gadget, such as the one I made (last year?) for use in the greenhouse which has sensors for soil moisture, light levels, temperature pressure and humidy, and dissolved solids (for hydroponic testing). I have also made an interface for my flight simulator too with additional controls for greater realism. I suppose I only usually make one gadget a year but they tend to be very varied and require research. I have the background / qualifications and like to use them, getting away from daily chores.

On top of all these I do like the more usual things of cooking and also like to get to the shops although covid killed that a bit and I have never really embraced it as I used to since.

I do get out most days, usually for a walk of an hour and half or two hours.

Not forgetting online chats too

Sometimes I wonder how the housework gets done but the essential things usually do.
