Well, here we are. The penultimate month of 2026. No idea how we got here so quickly, but then isn't that always the way these days? I can't give you any exciting updates from my last week as I did practically nothing. After such a busy week last week, that's no bad thing, but when I tell you the most exciting thing I have done all week, aside from booking some more theatre trips, was to head over to Ironbridge for a walk and a visit to Baked Bean Ironbridge for a Cinnamon bun and a latte, and Eley's for a Cheese and Onion Pasty, then you will see why this might be a short post.

I have had a good week. I'm just going to put it out there. Met up with my good friend Abbie on Tuesday for a pootle around Cadbury World (samples may have been consumed), followed by a trip to the cinema with Mandie to watch the pro-shot of Hadestown. DId not know what to expect from it but had seen great reviews so figured it was worth a punt. Absolutely loved it, so much so we are looking to book tickets to the tour next year. Who knows. Maybe this will site morph into Jen Med's Theatre Reviews instead ...

Week Ending October 12, 2026 | U.S. Eastern Time

And another week is gone. Bye-bye. Good news, as it means I have tomorrow off and I have plans. it also means that next week is theatre week but more on that after the fact. Needless to say I am very excited by also very aware that I will be completely shattered after it. Ah well. This weekend, or more precisely, Saturday, was also Bookshop day. Did I celebrate it? Of course I did. I'm knackered, not broken. About all I did as I had to work a full five days this week, and I have been paying for that every evening.

I genuinely don't know how this year has disappeared so quickly, and I'm not sure I like it. I was chatting with a fellow blogger over on Socials this past week, and it struck me that I have literally no idea if I will be able to do a #Bookvent post this year, not because the books I have read haven't been worthy - they have - but I have zero energy, zero mental capacity, and those posts take a lot of preparation. As I am struggling with normal reviews for book read in the last few months, spending hours recapping books I read ten months ago feels like an impossible ask right now.
