Its approaching my bedtime, between the endless housework and listening to my teenager in the next room talking about how 'lowkey' everything is, its time to get myself into bed.
I wonder what other people read in their beds, do you read your current choice of novel getting through a few chapters before putting it down ? Or perhaps you read a magazine or the tv guide before choosing something on the TV? I used to read poetry before bed, from 'The Language of Flowers', it was like a natural high....I would read a few poems and then pass out, book in hand and be transported to a garden of flowers or id be sitting on a drone looking down at fields of colour and magic.
I think this year I will revisit nostalgia, as a kid I had a favourite night-time story, and it would be read and re read all the time, I think im going to find a section of a book that gives me a sense of calm, comfort and sluggishness and make it my night cap for a while. Maybe at the end of this module I will collate them all into a night novel.
happy dreams

I read a few chapters of the novel I am reading. I read a lot in bed, as I feel I have permission. I read a little poetry very day as well. At the moment I am reading Selima Hill poetry- And Amy Arnold Slip of a fish is my nighttime reading. It is dark - un unravelling mind- but written poetically with circling sentences, so it is sort of sorting before bedtime. I usually read books with a dark undercurrent anyway.
I like your blog, nice idea. I am not so technical so let me see how I can save it.
