You do what you gotta do & I have to grab my Reading Moments wherever I can.
Wow, how I relish the idea of an entire day(s) filled with nothing but the chance to sit & read. BTW, just so's you know, this magical scenario will also have unlimited cups of tea and........ chips. Deep-fried slices of potato. Guilt-free, no judgement chips.
The above would make for a deliriously happy Roo.
However, until that particular level of Nirvana becomes available to me, I need to get my reading fix whenever opportunity presents.
Step 1 of Scratching the Booky Itch is: the book.
Gotta have a book. With you. Clearly.
It's no good if your book lives solely by the bed/loo/wherever.
You never know when the chance will turn up. The Moments pop out at you, unannounced. And, listen up soldier, YOU NEED TO BE READY.
There may be a Moment waiting at the petrol pump. It may make itself known in a bank queue. Perhaps you have arrived at a meeting early (see my post Greetings from The Future)? Not to worry cos guess who is early too??
Yup, your little booky-friend.
Your wordy-pal may be in electronic form (yes, I have a Kindle) or 'analogue' (cover, front & back with paper & ink in between. The preferred option, for your information).
Whatever.
Point is that one, or the other, is usually within reaching distance. Always, in fact. In my bag.
Have a look if you don't believe me.
Can't leave home without one.
A Moment will turn up, GUARANTEED, if not.
And, there is NOTHING so torturous as the very worst unscratched itch, the *shudder* wasted Reading Moment.
And so, I shall share my SRMs - some will be tiresomely predictable (bedtime, waiting outside school etc) but I am hoping to record some more interesting ones as we go along.
