Post A Day Challenge? We’ll See📝

Just done with my 71st blog post which I started late November, the whole month of December and this month which is about to end. Hallelujah 🙌! It is easier to write when you blog every day but I could never duplicate the challenge I did back in 2011 with WordPress Post A Day Challenge. That was the time I earned so many followers and my views went up.

Also done with 11 books 📚 for this year’s Goodreads Reading Challenge. As I have said a few days ago, I want to reread those books that gave so much joy over the years, some are classic books. A book you read fifty years ago might give you a different perspective now that you’re  getting on in years.

TGIF

Dropped by the Kadiwa stalls beside the church on my way home from the bank this morning. It is now a weekly ritual for me. These itinerant vendors are usually there from Friday to Sunday selling vegetables, fruits, dried fish, fish sauce, vinegar dips, chicharon and pusit (sun-dried squid). Their vegetables are way cheaper  than in the wet market. No middlemen  involved so they can afford to sell their goods at a cheaper price. Tomatoes are regularly selling at P80 pesos a kilo but I was surprised one stall sell them at P40 so I bought some. Then I dropped by Savemore supermarket to buy coco cream to use for my curried eggplant later. It’s nice that our  mayor allowed them to sell in our town, a big help for those in a budget like me.

It’s Friday again, another weekend to just relax. February is on its way in. Time flies. Seems like it was only yesterday when we celebrated Christmas  and New Year.

Side by side with reading the Shell Seekers, I started The Girl In The Glass by Susan Meissner. It is a story set in Florence, Italy and the great masterpieces during the Italian Renaissance. I read so many books written by Meissner before and rated them four and five stars but reviews say, this is not her best. I love the challenge of finding out though.

Joyful and happy weekend my blogger friends.🪴💐🌿
