Let me see... Capitalism put out snacks and trapped me again, so I went to work.
We won at quiz again on Wednesday night, which always feels good I have to say.
I went to my friend's after work on Friday night instead of Saturday, as we both had prior Saturday engagements.
We watched The Traitors UK and stitched. Still, I think, my favourite show. I love it so much.
I put in a couple of hours overtime at work on Saturday morning, and the extra few dollars will definitely come in handy.
Then on Saturday night another friend and I went to a show - it's a one-woman show very much inspired by Shakespeare and it was hilarious. It's called Tempestuous: https://www.hotpink.co.nz/the-tempestuous/
This is usually the time of year for Shakespeare in the Park, but this was done in a theatre - possibly because of it being a one-woman show. But it was great. So, so funny.
Son of Mine had a friend over last night for a sleepover, and I dropped them in town today to pursue pizza, so I went to the library, and got a couple of books out.
I haven't done much else today, to be honest.
I have two weeks leave now, and I'm very much looking forward to it. My plan is to power down completely - for the first week at least - and just do the things I like to do - read, watch TV, watch movies, cross-stitch, play videogames. I also want to sort out some clothes because my drawers are getting a bit full, but that sounds like a job for second week off Maree.
I finished The Watchmaker's Hand by Jeffrey Deaver and also Daisy Darkly by Alice Feeney, both of which were just ... okay for me.
I'm still reading Wyrd Sisters, and I also started The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher, which is a YA fantasy novel, and so far pretty entertaining.
How about you? How's your week? What are you reading?
Shakespeare in the PArk sounds nice! And congrats on quiz!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great show. Thank you :)
DeleteThey always get you with those snacks.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, glad you had so much fun at the show with your friend. Enjoy your couple of weeks off. I'm jealous. I need a serious break right about now.
Yep, it's a trap. Thank you. :)
DeleteThe Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking is so good! I love T. Kingfisher and I hope you love this one!
ReplyDeleteI loved it, it was such a fun read.
DeleteYay on another win at quiz night! I am glad you were able to get in some overtime. I like it when I plan for it but not so much when I am forced into it. Tempestuous sounds like such a fun show! I am glad you were able to go. I've heard good things about The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking and am glad you are enjoying it. I hope you enjoy your time off from work! Have a great week, Maree!

DeleteI love Shakespeare in parks and in theaters! Ha ha. I'll take it anyway I can get it. The Tempestuous show sounds fab. 🎭

I'm feeling very nostalgic right now because your page background is one I had early on in my blogging. I love it. 🤗
Have a wonderful new week! ☀
I enjoy watching Shakespeare - more than reading him for sure. Thank you :)
