@mentormullarkey @GemStGem I have déjà vu - very similar conversation got me started on this last January. Never made it past halfway though... wasn't good pandemic reading for me 😂

@AndrewJacobsLnD @HRGore I have only done 4 of those things - clearly haven't lived enough!

@Michael_LPI Thank you, Michael. We've had a bit of a rollercoaster so far but we're surviving. Hope you're well :)

@AndrewJacobsLnD Thank you!

@missholborow I stayed up till 3am to finish a book on the night I knew my husband was waking (and would wake me) at 4am for a taxi to the airport, signalling the start of a month of solo parenting for me. That was stupid, but also enjoyable.

@sukhpabial Ah, we love it there! Haven't been since before lockdown but was just thinking earlier I might take the girls this week.

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

@RossGarnerEW @mentormullarkey @thedannyseals I had to press pause on reading it a while back
...I needed to read a few shorter books for a bit! But I do want to back to it, especially with your review.

@kategraham23 I just got the Five Minute Mum book (desperation!) and her golden rule seems relevant here!

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

The new(ish) podcast Science Diction is excellent - super interesting, word-based science stuff in 15 minute bursts. Perfect for squeezing in amongst the chaos of a lockdown-with-two-kids day... @RossGarnerEW @KimSEdwards_ @kategraham23 might be up your street!

Love this post and these ideas

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

@GemStGem I have bought from it. A couple of things haven't been as expected but in general it's been fine.

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

@Designs_JoanK I'm very sorry for your loss, Joan. Thinking of you and your family xx

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

@RossGarnerEW Ah, good thinking. For some reason had in my head it would be a specialised service but that doesn't really make sense. Will investigate locally. Thanks!

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

Can anyone recommend 1) a company that can recover files from an external hard drive, & 2) a company/service, if one exists, that can move 10 yrs of photos to cloud storage (because the prospect of the time it will take for me to do that feels insurmountably daunting)?

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

@RossGarnerEW @thedannyseals @mentormullarkey @StephenKing That is where I am too, I am an Abagail fan! Oh I really need to start reading again - I have been on this chapter for ages and it isn't because of the chapter length!

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

@DonaldHTaylor This is such a lovely idea. My recycling collection is tomorrow so I will do the same tonight.

@MRGCnP @UKATAofficial @Counselling_UK @CounsellorsCafe @TheLinkCentreUK @BACP What a generous thing to do, Mandy. Hope you are safe and well, as you help other people navigate this time x

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

@missholborow @GemStGem Beside Ourselves is so wonderful! I read that and The Girl With All The Gifts one after the other and both were beautiful and surprising and lovely.

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

@GemStGem @AngelaPeggyH Conversely I have only had two in-person conversations with other adults since last Saturday, and only once-daily broken Skype chats with husband, and even for me as an introvert it's starting to feel a bit quiet...

[Stephanie Karaolis @StephKaraolis]

@GemStGem Also Tiny Sunbirds Far Away is such a beautiful book.
