I share little things I print out that amuse me but nothing of the actual text. Keeping that private is a mix of being self conscious and wanting to keep the depths of my weirdness to myself; I feel like I’d have to give context for things and I don’t have the energy for that.

I use a different app for the layout, but I count messing about with it as a separate hobby. I find it relaxing by itself so it’s become an important part of the process.
I probably get a little too invested in how my journal looks but for me that's part of the process. I create digital art journal pages so I can rearrange and resize things until I like the way they look.
I keep everything in chronological order and usually just put the review on a different coloured background. I like the idea that my opinion of a book is coloured by whatever else is going on in my life so keeping it in order makes sense and it means I can explain to myself why a re-read might hit different later.
I have a digital scrapbook for a journal though so things are easy to insert and re-sort compared to a paper notebook.
I can see it on a good day, I'm in Marlborough. Maybe a trebuchet would help?
I'm too late to contribute to the census but I'd like to reserve a slice of your dessert please.
That's a good point. I have a set of random smiley-faced magnets that came from somewhere like Para Rubber or an Asian import shop. The only problem with those is they're usually packaged so you can't test them on the shelving to see how strong they are.
You could always buy the touristy ones and get the kidlets to paint over them 😉
Where do you live? Presumably any local gift shop will be selling magnets showing off the local attractions.
Mashed, definitely. With maybe a bit of sugar or stevia sprinkled on top.
Cheese goes on toast with marmite. Or better yet, on muffin splits with marmite.
I'd love to answer in te reo but I don't know the word for ennui, lol. Tuesdays always seem to hit different, which is why I'm sitting at my desk at work hanging out on social media on my own laptop.

I've never done cover pages before, my entries have always just run on one from the next, but I fell into the habit of doing a doodle calendar, then it expanded to two pages, then I needed to fill a blank page so the calendar would be on a single spread...
You know, the usual evolution of journaling, haha.
I think it was only the second time I've sat down to stitch this year so have a bit of catching up to do! Pattern is A Crazy Wonderful Owl Family by HAED.

Both!
I go through phases of preferring one over the other so I tend to print the digital entries (usually scrapped into arty spreads) and add them to a Filofax binder so everything is all in one cohesive volume.
In theory it means I can use whatever paper I have to hand but it turns out I’m a paper snob so I still have blank unwanted notebooks lying around that didn’t pass muster.
