Is it Monday? 3/2/25

Having blogged almost every day of January, I decided that I ought to try and carry on blogging as much as I can.  Certainly on a regular basis at least.

But what to blog about?  Some days, such as Wednesdays (Hodgepodge), Fridays (Fave Five) and Saturdays (SoCS) are easy - there is a theme or a prompt.  That's what made January easier - Linda kindly supplied us with a prompt each day.

Now I'm left to my own devices I'm having to wrack my brains.  Of course book reviews slot in nicely but I'm not reading a book every day - or even every 2 or 3 days so that will still leave some blanks to fill.

I could write about my day - but the highlight of today was emptying the ironing basket.  Not exactly riveting although I did watch an interesting documentary series on Boyzone while I was ironing.

The weather was a bit bland today too and we won't even go near discussing politics.  I think the world is going mad.

I did look to the BBC website for inspiration and found a mad story about a round egg.  Apparently the chances of getting a round (as opposed to oval) egg are 1 in a billion.  Who compiles these statistics?  And can they be believed when we know there are "lies, damned lies and statistics".

Anyway it seems to me they can't be that rare - one was found in Scotland not long ago and a more recent one in Devon.  The one in Scotland was auctioned and sold for £200.  The woman who found the latest one is planning to auction it too.

Personally I like my eggs cooked - breakfast today was a poached egg on toast with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce.  It was delicious and a much better use of an egg than keeping it to look at.
