This week....

I'm reading

At the beginning of last week I suddenly realised that I had four books to read in a very short period in order to meet blog tour commitments. I am on the last of those books now!

I read and really enjoyed The Silent Resistance by Anna Normann which tells a WWII story set in Norway. My review is here.

Then it was another WWII with The Wartime Affair by Victoria Cornwall which I reviewed here

Another very enjoyable read The Cottage at the Edge of the Woods by Jane Lovering. I always enjoy her books and I think this is one of her best yet. My review will be up later this week.

My final read for the week is The Stolen Sister by Jan Baynham, which I am about a third of the way through. 

I'm watching


I was home by myself on Saturday night which is a very unusual turn of events. I had to finish my book, and then I watched the first half of the first episode of Heated Rivalry. I definitely intend to read more.

We watched quite a lot of the Olympics this time, but now it is has come to an end. I hope to watch some of the Paralympics when they start in a few weeks. 



Life


Last time I went to get my nails done I got them done in  a mint green pastelly colour. This weekend it was time for a change and I chose purple cats eyes. My husband said I see you chose a grown up colour this time. What does that even mean? lol 

We went on a Sunset Penguin cruise last night. The weather wasn't great but it was still a fun night.

I did come home to a bit of drama tonight. Somehow the kitchen sink flooded and nobody who was home heard it so there was water everywhere. Unfortunately some of the carpet was affected too so we will see what happens with that.
