Slimming World May/June 2025

Slimming World July 2025

I have come across a new-to-me author of detective novels ~ JM Dalgliesh.  His books are set in Norfolk, a county I lived in for much of my childhood, and I am enjoying reading them very much.  He also has two other series of detective novels, one set in Yorkshire and the other on the Isle of Skye.  Obviously I will be giving them a whirl in due course 😉

I did read a couple more of the Blitz Detective novels during May but got a bit knocked off track by JM Dalgliesh's DI Janssen 😏 I also managed to catch up with two more issues of last year's subscription to Slimming World magazine but still have a fair few of them to get through, plus this year's subscription is adding to the magazine pile.  As we've already started to get pretty busy with all the work out in the garden, I suspect I may be a tad too tired for much reading over the coming weeks.  Perhaps I'll manage to get more magazines caught up with instead, as they don't require quite the same amount of concentration as novels 😄
