I'm reading
I then moved away from the Mediterranean to Ireland when I read my first ever book by Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These. This book was only around 120 pages long but it packed a punch. I have already requested another book by this author and I am looking forward to reading more from her.
I'm watching
We went on a date night on Monday night when we went to dinner and a movie...yes...on a Monday! But before you wonder what new release we saw, we actually watched a movie that was released in 1969. The Battle of Britain is my husband's favourite movie but he had never seen it on the big screen and with big sound! I did enjoy seeing it too. I have seen most of it but only in bits so this time I got to watch it from beginning to end without being distracted on my laptop or my phone.
In other news, I ended up getting a new laptop this weekend which is exciting. Now I am trying to work out what needs to be transferred from one laptop to the other laptop. I also got a new keyboard and mouse because at least half of the letters are missing off my old keyboard due to overuse!

I now have a bit it of a gap between blog tour books so I can read some of my library books and other review books from some favourite authors, so I am looking forward to a bit of mood reading, or at least a little more freedom!

Here's the trailer
On Thursday night, a couple of friends and I went to hear Jelena Jokic speak. She was actually being interviewed for show called Australian Story and the show will be on TV later this year! We watched her documentary earlier this year and she does have a really inspiring story to tell and is very humble. I look forward to watching the show when it comes out!

We had a really busy birthday weekend this weekend. On Saturday night we attended a really lovely dinner for my friend's 60th birthday. It was such a lovely night, and as a bonus, she had a caricaturist there and we each came home with a drawing. I actually don't mind ours.

Then on Sunday, we had a family lunch to celebrate my nephew's 18th birthday. I think I am going to have to go back to work for a rest.

Sounds like you had a very good week! I loved Small Things Like These. Sounds like you had a great week, and I hope you now have a good one this week.
ReplyDeleteAlways so cool to see a movie you know and love on the big screen for the first time. That's so cool that you have a caricature of yourselves now! Hope the transfer to the new laptop is going well.
