Bots, Books and Watches

The bots are hot and heavy these days -- reading numbers up like crazy. Who knows -- maybe it's always been bots reading. I write like I'm talking to other people, but it's just one of the ways I like to journal about my day and it feels easiest to write like I'm talking to someone. I don't know if I should be concerned about bots, but it's enough that I don't post pictures of my grandchild or some other family pictures. Usually after a break, the bots slow down, but they didn't this time.

So hello, bots. Or hello, people. Welcome to random ramblings about nothing exciting.

Today is a bit about books. I read a few on my trip. Nothing that super wowed me and no pictures because they're on kindle.

"The Christmas Bookshop" (Jenny Colgan): Best of my reads. Cozy little predictable fun read.

"The Six Deaths of the Saint" (Alix Harrow): Strange 30 page book. Interesting though.

"Fellowship Point" (Alice Dark): 600+ pages. Long saga. Just okay to me. Had a lot of promise, but I got bored about halfway.

I started this from the library. Has promise -- good so far.

A couple in the mail that I'll read after the slew of library holds waiting.

Switching subjects ...

I looked for a vintage watch on our trip. Found 2 that I liked, but both were overpriced so I passed.

1988 men's watch

From 1950s -- I loved this one.

Turns out hubby has a couple of old watches. He took them to be fixed (one is still getting repaired that belonged to his dad). Both are too small for him. I bought a vintage watch strap from 1950s that reminds me of a man's tie and paired it with the watch. I really like it -- fun to wear with jeans. A little quirky too.

It's special because it was his
first watch when he was in school
(gift from his parents).

This satisfies my want for a watch that is different from my other one. I'll show you the other one when it fixed. I like mixing up and wearing a man's watch style -- the older ones are the size of most lady's watches now.

I had a really nice day yesterday catching up with a friend and then babysitting my grandson. Man, he's a cutie. 

Hope you're having a good week. Later gators.
