5 things for the weekend 22.15

free e-books, cucumber salad, a literary festival, and wordle

Some years ago, I ran a monthly challenge to post ten photos on the tenth of the month. My FB memories from 2019 reminded me of it this morning, and it was so great to get that snapshot of my life from three years ago, that I decided on the spot, to start doing it again.

I'm changing it up a bit, by posting all ten photos at once, and I probably won't do it every month, but I definitely want to capture life this way again.

Of course anyone is welcome to play along! Whenever I play I’ll be sure to include a reminder in the weekly email preceding the 10th, so that you can join in. I post my photos on Instagram, but you are free to post anywhere with the hashtag #TenonThe10th. Or just keep the photos private for your personal use.

5 Things

1. I’m thinking about spring cleaning. I haven’t gotten to the action phase yet, I’m still researching. I kid, I kid! I’m liking this 80/20 cleaning tip though!

2. I looooove cucumbers, especially in salads, and I’m looking forward to trying these cucumber salads from around the world.

3. I’m still playing Wordle. Are you? I not only enjoy the game but the connection I have with other players. I post results in two different WhatsApp groups, and I always have fun convos when I post my result on Facebook. So of course I enjoy other people’s thought pieces about the game.

4. Rowan Yarns is having a free knitting pattern bonanza until April 18th.

5. Get 10 free Kindle books in the annual Amazon Read the World celebration.
