This week....


I'm reading



I finally, finally finished listening to The Sun Sister by Lucinda Riley, just in time for the final book in The Seven Sisters series to be released at the end of this month.



I did start listening to The Jam Queens by Josephine Moon which at around 10 hours in listening time feels a lot more manageable than the 27 hours for The Sun Sister so hopefully it won't take me months to listen to it. As might be expected, there is lots of jam talk in this book, including a mention of a cocktail called Jam-tini. I might need to explore this or some of the other food and drink mentions in future Weekend Cooking posts.



I am reading The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah Prison by Meredith Jaffe, which I am very much enjoying so far!I am havingto readitviathe Netgalley app on my phone which isn't my favourite way to read. It is a PDF which means I can't make the font big. Lucky it's very engaging so I am getting through it. I am looking forward to going back to the Kindle or paper book for the next book.



I'm watching



We haven't really watched anything other than our normal shows like Masterchef and Great British Bake Off.



Life



After building up to it for a while, we started our ensuite bathroom reno this weekend.  So far, it has been gutted, and now the tiles are on the wall, just need to get the shower, the basin and the toilet in. It looks very different. I should have before and after photos next week.



On the blog, I announced a new music based feature which I will kick off on Thursday. The idea is that each week I will share some songs based on the letter of the alphabet for that week.   To give you a taster, if my theme was days of the week instead of letters, my song for today may well be.....

  2. Best of success with your bathroom reno! We did so much of that last year while at home. Reading on the phone is not my 1st choice, but will do in a pinch!

  3. Good luck with your reno project. My phone is an antique. I've never tried to read on it. I can't imagine doing so. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

  5. Good luck with your bathroom renovation! My husband and I have a list of things we'd like to do around our house, but I don't think either of us are motivated to actually start on them!

    1. I am lucky that my husband is quite motivated by the idea of getting projects done Melinda. If it was up to me we would still have a 1979 house.

  6. I have the Jam Queens to pick up at the library so looking forward to that. Yes I will most likely listen to The Missing Sister via audio but they are so long. A shorter one always goes well after it!

    1. Those books are definitely long Kathryn! I have listened to them all on audio so I don't see myself doing anything different with the next one.

  7. Good luck with the bathrooms. I'm so glad we did ours!
