Today is Sunday time to look back in the rearview mirror and talk about my week . I am linking up to the Sunday Post hosted for years by Kimberly@caffeinatedreviewer .
In my private life
Happy Sunday!
This week I noticed that my stats were exploding. Yet these were not true visitors but lots of bots and many for AI purposes! That means that my content could be reproduced even if I added a disclaimer on my website!
I don’t know how to block or avoid it without coding (and I don’t feel confident enough not to mess up with my coding). If you have a simple but brilliant idea, let me know!
In other news, our spa day last Sunday went very well and my son and I were both very relaxed and happy by the end of the day.
This week has been intense at work with some not so welcome surprises but I have now two weeks off!
You will see this website on semi hiatus (I have planned three posts) while I am enjoying a holiday in France with the puppies and my husband! They forecast a heatwave and fires… I hope we’ll still be able to enjoy our rest!
My son is very happy to be alone at home and have some peace from his parents LOL
Last but not least: I am sorry if I didn’t blog hop last week (and probably won’t be able to do it before coming back from holiday) but life was crazy and I was exhausted. I hope to be able to comment and comment back when I will be back from my holiday!
As usual, I am leaving you with two reels.
The first is about Leigh Bardugo when she pulled a move I didn’t like at all!
And the second is a joke because my husband is in fact an enabler!
Take care and see you in two weeks!
Sophie








I hope you vacation is going great!
Anne – Books of My Heart
We came back earlier Anne but I will explain in the next Sunday post..
Have a wonderful holiday, Sophie!
Thank you Lindsey!
Hope the temps cool down for you while you’re on vacation, Sophie!
Well not at all unfortunately!
Sorry about the bots! But I hope you have a great time in France despite the heat!
Thank you!
I don’t know if I notice the bots? But I forget to even look at the visitor info a lot. I’ve only read one Leigh Bardugo book, need to finish that series! Have a great time in France! I have been hearing about the heat wave they are dealing with, so I hope that doesn’t ruin your trip.

Well we had to come back early as it was insufferable…
I wish I knew how to get rid of bots, they seem to be an annoying part of blogging we just can’t get rid of. I hope you have a wonderful vacation!
Thank you Tammy!
Yeah, my blog stats have been absolutely exploding because of bots as well. I’m kinda resigned to it, but hate it too.
Hope you have a good holiday!
Thank you!!!
I hope you have a wonderful holiday and it isn’t too hot.
Thank you Samantha!
Glad the spa day did the trick, and I hope you have an incredible trip!
Thank you Sam!
Bots have been visiting my site, too. I have no idea how to stop it. :( Hope you have an excellent holiday and get some rest and relaxation!
Enjoy your time away. This time, for the first time since 2011, I am actually not posting anything but the Sunday Post for 14 days while we are on vacation. I think it will be good for me to just unwind.
