Hello there! I am rather cold. Is it definitely Spring?

Have you got your drink?

  • If we were having chai, I’d start by telling you that the beginning of the week was a total wipeout. I ended up with a stomach bug, as did Lil Princess, and I was out of school for two days. Still wasn’t 100%, but I was back in on Wednesday, and then we had big snow! 5 inches! Lil Princess was in for one day, then off again as the bug hadn’t cleared for her, but back on Friday.
  • If we were having chai, I’d tell you that because of the snow, one of my teachers was unable to get in, even though where our school is had barely any. That meant I was in class rather than taking my management time, which threw me off totally! Still, we got through the rest of the week, relatively unscathed!
  • If we were having chai, I’d say that it was International Women’s Day on Wednesday, but every day I celebrate the strong women in my life ❤
  • If we were having chai, I’d mention that we had a little celebration on Friday. Some good news for Hubby Dearest, which meant a little bubbly and some pizza, which Sonu Singh tried hard to keep warm for us!
  • If we were having chai, I’d brag about my rather perfect poached eggs on Sunday! I’m still reading plenty but a good meal is important, too!
  • If we were having chai, I’d put it out there that I am looking for personal experiences as I research for my next book… If you can, I’d love you to share the post below, or even comment here if you have anything. to give me…
  • If we were having chai, I would give you another snippet of Sonu Singh! Here he is, just chilling, as you do… staring out into the garden. You can tell when it’s a warmer day, because he lounges in the conservatory. When it is cold, that place is like an ice box!

This week, there is still plenty on at school, from a STEM day, to Red Nose Day for Comic Relief. I have more observations to do, as the ones last week got cancelled due to the snow! There are also another two strike days to get through, and we end the week with Mother’s Day!

And while you’re here, did you sign up for my mailing list? I am in the middle of writing an exclusive Chickpea Curry Lit story for my subscribers, and there will be news, tips and even recipes! You know you want to join… go on! Click the pic below to sign up!

    Hi Ritu! Sorry this is a week late. Catching up, here. Snow…hooray! We had over a foot last week, and it was heavy, wet snow. Of course the kids loved sledding and making snow people. I hope you’re feeling better.

    It’s been a while since I’ve slowed down enough to get in on one of these and catch up with you, Sister. I attended a panel during women’s week at my university that was quite impressive. School is going well, and my Book Hub is such a quiet pleasure that I don’t care I sell
    ANY books. We are giving many away and even better, circulating books in our little town. People are dusting off their books and contributing them, then I find a grateful home for said book. I am having a ball recommending books to friends, neighborhood kids, and customers alike.

    Hi Ritu, I hope you are all fully recovered from your illness. I read about, and saw pictures of, the snow. Mind you, it snowed in late April when I was in the UK in 2016.

    Poached eggs on avocado toast? I’ll have to be dropping by more often for breakfast!! 😉 I had no idea that Domino’s Pizza was available in England. It originated only a few miles from my home (several decades ago). And I am sending healthy vibes to help keep you going strong!!

    Regarding your question because of infertility. I had to wait about a year until I became pregnant, finally. I think the one big factor was that at one point, I took the pressure of wanting to become pregnant and was pregnant “immediately”. But I have no experience with any medical or psychic options.

    What a busy week, I am always amazed by how much that happens in your world. You could have done without the stomach bug though!
