This Week...


I'm reading



I started reading Without Further Ado by Jessica Dettman on the plane and so far I love it. It is smart and funny and it has made me want to rewatch the Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson version of Much Ado About Nothing. I hope I can find it somewhere to watch! I have booked in to go to a library event to hear Jessica Dettman talk. I am very much looking forward to it now!


I also finished reading Hopeful Hearts at Cornish Cove by Kim Nash. I will have a review of that one in the next couple of weeks.



I am still listening to The Martian and really enjoying it. I think it is really helping me that I have watched the movie so many times because otherwise the science might be too much.

Nothing much really!

On Tuesday night I went to see Jon Stevens, Cyndi Lauper and Rod Stewart in concert. I wasn't intending to go but then there were cheap tickets so I changed my mind, and it was a really great show! I thoroughly enjoyed all three acts. Jon Stevens is always great and when Cyndi Lauper hit the big notes - oh my goodness! And then Rod Stewart was awesome too.



We flew to Christchurch in New Zealand on Friday and have spent the weekend at the SailGP! What an experience to see those boats doing speeds of around 80kms, racing against each other! The weather has been perfect for sailing, the event well organised and the city is buzzing!

  7. What a great concert! I can't believe you got cheap tickets. It feels like tix here always cost a fortune. The sailing competition looks exciting! Enjoy your time in NZ!

    1. I should have clarified to say cheaper tickets rather than cheap! The sailing was totally awesome!
