Let's see ... capitalism opened its maw wide and trapped me yet again, so I had to go to work.

Quiz started again on Wednesday night and we set off on a positive note with a win, which was nice.

I was not feeling great towards the end of the week so I took a couple of sick days on Thursday and Friday. Just general run down-ness I think. It's also been extremely hot here (for those playing along who don't realise, I live in New Zealand. It's summertime) and I do not do well with the heat. I'm an autumn/winter supferfan. 

So I sat on the couch, and watched TV pretty much. I've finished TNG and started Voyager. I forgot how much I really enjoy Voyager. I also watched Peter Ustinov's Evil Under the Sun, which was a lot of fun. In the spirit of trying to watch new things and not just rewatch old things, I started Reacher. I've only read one of the books and honestly thought it was just okay. The show is fun though, as the premise seems to be "large man hits things", and I'm here for that.

Anyway. I took spawn for a haircut on Saturday morning which has been a long time coming - I just hadn't got around it to it but he definitely needed one. We also went to the library and the supermarket - as Son of Mine put it, it was a proper adventure. (We bought snacks.)

I went to my friend's last night as usual and we binged a few more episodes of The Traitors UK, which is absolutely my favourite show.

Today was super exciting with housework and another supermarket visit. I spent the afternoon listening to one of my favourite podcasts (You Must Remember This, about Hollywood's first century) and I worked on a couple of blackwork projects. I might do a post on those at some point. 

I read The Watchmaker's Hand by Jeffrey Deaver recently, and thought it was .... okay. I like Mr Deaver's earlier works better - the twists are more twisty and shocking. I keep going back for some reason and honestly I should know better. I'm also reading Wyrd Sisters by Mr Sir Terry Pratchett, which is no less enjoyable for being a re-read. I also have Daisy Darkly by Alice Feeney on the go, which is a riff on And Then There Were None. So far so good.

How about you? How's your week? What are you reading?
