Photo diary: week 25, project 366

Bookshops are open! That's the best news in a long time.
Rather than that, our week was a bit meh. The same worries about Sasha's anxiety meds, Mum's health, other family issues, on top of that, the Internet connection is intermittent, and I'm feeling low and dispirited. Mostly helpless and not sleeping well.
I'm going through the motions, and I'm not optimistic.

Eddie's been drawing Star Wars/Mandalorian characters in the past week, following step by step from the YouTube channel for kids. I think this baby Yoda is super cute.

On Monday morning we ventured into town, just three of us (Sasha was at school). It was lovely to re-visit Waterstones after a long closure. We put on our fetching masks and gloves, and while my husband was taking Eddie's picture, I photobombed him. We didn't buy anything that day, as the stock was still pretty much the same we have seen a couple of months before.
We did come back to the shop two days later, and they had a new stock. Eddie and I got a paperback each (The Truants for me and Wonderscape for Eddie). I also bought a book of Norse myths, as we are reading Magnus Chase, book 1, at the moment, and I wanted to revise the myths of Odin, Thor, Loki and more.

I think I've watched too many Marvel films. I was walking into town, looked at the clouds as usual, spotted this strange cloud and thought of the Chitauri. Showed it to Eddie later and we both said: the Chitauri are coming.

Started reading Lockdown by Peter May. It's pretty amazing that he wrote it back in 2005, when the publishers didn't want to publish it as they thought the portrayal of London during the epidemic is completely unrealistic.
I was reading it, sitting in the garden, sipping Coca Cola Signature Mixtures Herbal. I bought it for the first time, and quite enjoyed it with ice. It will be great in a cocktail.

Following the same Art for Kids Hub tutorial on Youtube, Eddie was drawing Han Solo for Father's day. I told him he should draw Darth Vader, but he said he asked his Dad what his favourite Star Wars character was, and that was Han Solo.

Passing by Derwent House, local interior design shop, I admired their colourful window display.

Last week I received two bottles of wine from The Wine List for reviewing. It's the first wine box subscription, focused on learning, as you receive tasting cards with lots of information about the wine and the producers. I wanted to pair the Lebanese wine with the authentic food, and found a recipe for Moutabal. It's similar to babaganoush, with added yogurt and oregano leaves. It is a tasty dish, and goes well with the crisp white wine.

What else did we do? Homeschooling, of course, not that much of TV... We started watching Artemis Fowl, but didn't like it at all. I finished reading The Sewing Room Girl by Susanna Bavin, which I plan to review later this week.
How did your week go?
