Watching
I don’t mind, but I’m often late to the party with TV shows and Netflix. It’s only in the last year I’ve caught up with some must-sees (and I’ve many more to get round to) – from Stranger Things to Gossip Girl – to cult classic films like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (an enjoyable watch) and Clueless (absolutely adored it). And speaking of cult favourites, I also watched Mean Girls, which I personally don’t rate at all – sorry but what’s all the fuss about?!
So I’m currently watching The Crown and have just started watching Mad Men, too. I find myself drawn to period dramas more than modern day ones; I’m a “golden age thinker” and really love the nostalgic quality. Although a while ago we watched Peaky Blinders, but despite all the hype, I have to say I wasn’t a fan!
Reading
I recently finished ‘The Break’ by Marian Keyes and loved it (book review coming soon!). Marian is without doubt my favourite author; she has a wonderful way of weaving humour through the most serious of subjects, and I always adore her characters. The Break was no exception and was one of those books where I wanted to power ahead to find out what happens, but also didn’t want it to be over..!
Oh and before ‘The Break’, I also read ‘On a Beautiful Day’ by Lucy Diamond. I finished it in the space of a few days, I really enjoyed it. It was my first Lucy Diamond book and I’ve discovered she has quite a few other books out too, so I think I’ll pick up one of these soon.
Doing
I should probably have put ‘Doing’ first in this list, because it’s the most exciting – Jamie and I went to see The Rolling Stones! They’re my favourite band, and seeing them live was honestly a dream come true. We made the trip to Stuttgart to catch one of the final gigs in their No Filter tour and I’ve been on a high ever since. The Kooks opened for them and they were great as well!
So the Rolling Stones has definitely been the highlight, but apart from that I’ve been enjoying the sunshine, and finding my blogging groove again after a little hiatus.
What have you been doing/reading/watching recently? I hope you’re having a great week x
