Thanks for the book tip @lynncoyle1. I have made a note of it.

"Book Bud" sounds good but I don't have an e-reader so not sure I'd have much use for it.

I buy my books from a charity shop that sells them for 30p and then when I've finished them I take them to a different charity shop that sells them for a couple of pounds, so almost 7 times as much.

This makes me feel I'm doing good business for the charities.

Glad you're enjoying your time off from Steemit. I find it hard not to post if I'm at home. When I'm away it's a different story.

I'm really missing being around people since I got back from the retreat. The first week was OK because I had a couple of things in the diary and a fellow Steemian came to visit at short notice which was a lovely surprise.

This week I have more time alone and I'm finding that harder after such a wonderful time away.

The malaise that @glenalbrethsen referred to seems to still be around but hey ho it will pass of course.

Lots of love to you. I wish you were closer. It would be great to hang out with a glass of wine and watch the world go by! ❤️
