What’s your week been like? Sum it up in 25 words or less. Here’s mine:
Lots of buses and writing research
A very odd film (but comfy seats)
Successful shopping day
Listen to audiobooks
Sum up Sunday
Month: September 2026
Flaunt it Friday
It’s that time of the week to share what you’re pleased with.
A few months back, I contacted Young Page Turners UK to ask if they’d consider reviewing my children’s book, The Clocker My Books
I got a response quite quickly saying yes and asking me to post a copy to the reviewer, which I did. This week I had an email with an apology for the delay and a link to the review on their website. Young Page Turners are passionate about books and they provide independent reviews of children’s and YA books. They do not charge for this service.
Not only was the review 5* but gives a comprehensive insight into the book and its appeal. I loved this – “ The Clocker, in particular, becomes a symbol of courage and self-acceptance. Through his daily care he provides for his hens, Nev also learns to care for himself, discovering an inner strength he didn’t realise he had.”

To use a Wordy Wednesday word, I’m chuffed.
Wordy Wednesday
My word for today is mizzle, meaning light rain; drizzle. I thought of this word last week when, at times, it was decidedly mizzly.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, its origin is late Middle English, probably from mist. In German there is miseln and in Dutch miezelen.
Mizzle seems to sum up this type of rain well, expressing the mood of drizzling, persistent rain so well.
There are so many different words to express weather conditions. Do you have any favourites?
