The Week That Was…

Something that has me jumping for joy this week is finding out that Melbourne Writers Festival is digital for 2020, meaning that at long last, I can go! And there are quite a few sessions I’ve marked to attend, it’s looking quite fabulous in terms of variety and topics of interest. The program is now available, you can find it here.

Joke of the week:

I have refrained from Covid jokes, but I couldn’t resist this one. If only he were real and life was a forty-five minute episode of an American drama…

This one isn’t out until September so it will be a wait until my review is posted but heads up, it’s going to be a one!

What I’ve been watching:

I’m now into season three of this series and bear in mind, the seasons are twenty-two episodes each. Honestly, it’s nothing more than a soap opera for historical fiction tragics (that would me) but I CAN’T STOP WATCHING IT! I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I am in it until the end, which is, as we all know from history, probably the point at which Mary loses her head. Despite knowing the ending, here I am, still watching every minute of it. That’s television for you!

Feel good photo of the week:

I’ve fallen a little bit in love with this latest Royal wedding but the part I love the most is the bride wearing ‘vintage granny’. Can you imagine that wardrobe? Here they are, both wearing the dress, one when it was new and the other now that it’s vintage.

What I’m reading right now:

I’m actually undecided at present but all of these books have arrived in the mail this week. The pile on the left are from publishers, the pile on the right are my own purchases. I’m wavering between Ordinary Matters and Vinegar Girl. I’m feeling in need of some Anne Tyler at present.

Until next week…
