I'm reading
It's been a busy reading week!
I finished my first 5 star read for the year! Midnight in Paris by Gillian Harvey. I was already a fan of this author, and this book took it to the next level for me! You can read my review here.
I also read the third book in the Skylarks series by Helen Rolfe which is called Something in the Air. My review for this will be up later this week.
My current read is An Italian Island Secret by Victoria Springfield, which has whisked me off to the Italian island of Ischia. I wish I could visit for real, but alas, it isn't to be as we have other travel plans for this year.
I'm watching
I am very excited as Bake off : The Professionals is back for another season! I love this particular version of Bake Off which features professional bakers being set the most amazing and difficult challenges. There are some amazing creations. There are also some disasters!

Another thing that was back this week was Sail GP. They changed one of the key elements on the boats for this race and it led to some very exciting racing!
I started watching the TV adaptation of Beth O'Leary's book, The Road Trip. I will get back to that next week I think.
We watched a new movie on Netflix this week called The Six Triple Eight, which tells the story of an all African American female battalion who are tasked with the almost impossible task of clearing a huge backlog of 17 million letters and packages during WWII. It stars Kerry Washington, and features a couple of notable cameo appearances. We really liked it and thought it was pretty well done.
Life
Last week was a pretty quiet week really.

My thoughts have turned towards actively looking for a new job! Wish me luck!
Max
A couple of months ago, Max was really sick, but he is pretty much like he was before now. He still has quite a few big patches of hair missing which you can see on his head and belly, but he is wanted to play tug of war, chase the ball and so much more, which is quite a relief.
Here he is lying on the cool of the tiles because it is hot here at the moment!

Hurray for your first five-star read of the year!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried the professional version of the bake-off. I should look for that one. I plan to do a lot more baking this year.
Aw, beautiful Max.
Wishing you luck in your job hunt!
ReplyDeleteOn what service are you watching Road Trip? I’d like to see that. I spent the week binging all the new shows on Binge - The Pitt, Found, Brilliant Minds and Rescue Hi-Surf.
Wishing you a happy reading week!
Good luck with finding a new job! Yay for your first 5-star read. I hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy. Will need to check out Harvey's books. Thanks for the recommendation. Good luck with the job search. Enjoy your week.
