I just did Les Misérables with him. I had planned to read Don Quixote this year anyway, but this is an extra reason to do so.<br /><br />Good luck with all your goals this year, Deb. They all sound very reasonable and I know you can do it. <br /><br />Have a Happy New Year!

OK it looks like I have read 7 books already this year. I did read 2+ audiobooks over the weekend while knitting, cooking, raking leaves, doing laundry, and running errands. So I'm off to a good start since I was figuring 3 books a week. But New Year's Day was my day to read and relax over the holidays. Good luck with all your goals!

I can pass on his general photography advice, which is: get closer to the subject, brace your elbows against your body, overcast days and early/late in the day have the best lighting, and something that I think applies to your type of camera, "BRACKET!" He had a note saying that taped to his Nikon. I think it means setting the aperture to both higher and lower numbers than the one you think it should be at. <br /><br />Your life makes me want to retire so I can DO all the things I want to do!

And, like you, I'm make an effort to read my favorite blogs over my first cup of coffee, rather than try to squeeze them in later during the day. I can always catch up on the news & social media, but catching up on blogs gets daunting once a couple of days have passed. I've never been one to click "Mark All As Read" for fear of missing something important.<br /><br />Bravo on your reading numbers so far this year. I've only finished one book, but I'm hoping to make more time for reading, too. Now that I'm caught up on all my book reviews, I should have more time to curl up and read.<br /><br />Again, like you, I've started keeping a bullet journal in which I write a "diary" entry at the end of each day. I haven't kept a diary/journal in decades and it's turning out to be a lot of fun. My goals for the year are to continue with my daily walks, lift weights at least twice a week, drink more water, drink less wine and turn off all computers/phones/e-readers by 8 pm. Those last two items have really helped with my ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. Go figure! :)Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-79912524267876257372019-01-06T09:26:00.912-06:002019-01-06T09:26:00.912-06:00Love that camera, It was one of my favorite things...Love that camera, It was one of my favorite things to do in collage.

I hope you are enjoying retirement and all you can accomplish. I had to retire on early disability ten years ago so I think I take it for granted sometimes. I read Don Quixote in high school but don't remember more than "tilting at windmills" and Sancho Panza (sp?). <br /><br />Enjoy everything ahead (maybe one day I'll learn to make bread from scratch, but I'm more of an improvising cook/baker, ha).Phoebe @ My Bookish Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516940841211776660noreply@blogger.com
