This week...

I'm reading

I mentioned last week that I was reading Pomegranate Soup by Marsha Mehran and Conspiracy of Lies by Kathryn Gauci. I finished the first of those and will have a review up over the weekend (shocking I know!) and I am still going with the latter.

I did start listening to The Rise of the Magicks by Nora Roberts this week. This is the third book in the The Chronicles of the One trilogy. The trigger for this book is that there is a virus that sweeps into the world, decimating the population of the world. The Doom, the virus, is much much deadlier than we are seeing in real life, but still.

I also picked up When it All Went to Custard by Danielle Hawkins this week from the library. I have read the first couple of chapters because it was the only book I had with me when we were waiting for our dinner the other night. So far I am enjoying it!

I'm watching

Not much other than the news really. We are still continuing with our series that I have mentioned before. I need to make an effort to find some new things to watch. Any one have any must watch recommendations?

Life

If I thought last weekend was quiet this weekend was even quieter. We did have plans to go to see Robbie Williams in concert but that was cancelled. We have had several events that we had coming up over the next few weeks that have been cancelled.

My husband's son came down for the weekend, so it was good to see him. I guess that makes him my stepson but I don't think of it like that yet!).

The rest of our time is basically being preoccupied with what happens if scenarios, mostly around our holiday. We are supposed to be going to Europe at the end of this month but I think it is 99.95% likely that isn't going to happen now and so we need to start cancelling things with the hope that we get some of our money back. Once things have calmed down a bit we will then be able to make decisions about where and when we do go.

One of the disappointing aspects of cancelling is that I have actually been pretty organised and had quite a few blog posts written and scheduled for the period that we were away. Some of them will still get posted after being edited, but the others may never see light of day now!

I have seen Robbie Williams live before and it was a great show. It's one of those shows where you stand up and dance the whole show! I thought I would share a video below to remind myself of what we didn't get to see.
