Daily Reading Challenge

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme for this year is 'kindness'. For today's challenge read the quote by Roald Dahl then do something kind for someone or for yourself. These are challenging times we are living through and an act of kindness however small can make a huge difference to someone's mood. Read a few pages of a book to a member of your family either in person or across a video link. Or simply tidy away your books: less mess =less stress.
