This week...


I'm reading


Isn't it funny how one week you can finish four books and in other weeks you can't even finish one. Guess which it was this week!  That's right...I didn't finish a single book this week. I am still reading and enjoying The Stolen Hours by Karen Swan and listening to Sidelines by Karen Viggers. I have a bit of a drive over the next two days so I think I will probably finish that book soon and start something new.


I'm watching


I haven't been doing much in the way of watching either! I did start watching Maggie Beers Big Mission. Maggie Beer is an Aussie legend and she is leading a TV program about the state of aged care facilities in Australia, and the story isn't great. I will keep watching that at some point this week.


We did watchh the Sail GP grand finale this weekend, as well as the finale of Great South African Bakeoff and it is the Masterchef Australia grand final week this week too.

Life

The nicest thing we did this weekend was visiting the French Bastille Day markets! We tasted a few little treats, listened to some music and generally soaked in the vibes!

We bought some pate, and chocolate bear filled with raspberry marshmallow as well as a print to put up on the wall which is above!

  2. That sandwich, bread and stew look delicious. The French Bastille Day markets look like a lot of fun.

  3. A French market sounds like fun. I’m interested in the marshmallow filling. I know that the French had marshmallows in the 19th century (called guimauves) but recently I don’t think it was so common. We gave a French friend a toasted marshmallow once, which he said was entirely new to him and tasted like a jellyfish.

    1. I can see how marshmallow would be strange if you hadn't had it before.
