Let's see .... 

My working week was okay - busy as one of my team is on holiday, cruising around the South Pacific. But I'd rather be busy. The unfortunate side effect of that is my braincells get tired and I make mistakes. But I try to be philosophical about them so I don't carry them around with me rent-free.

We won at quiz on Wednesday night on a tiebreaker, which was tense, but fun as always.

On Friday night, Spawn and I had pizza pockets and watched Sing 2. It was fun, and we both wanted something we didn't have to focus on too much. I also finished the project on the left - a small gift for a workmate - it just needs to be ironed, framed and handed on now.

Spawn, myself and a friend of mine went to the library yesterday. Spawn is currently very big on Ancient Egypt, thanks to playing Assassins Creed Origins, so he got out a couple of non-fiction books on that. He's not a great reader, but I'm always happy to encourage any reading he does want to do.

We also went to a garage sale in support of a local animal rescue. I found a small purse for $4 and an iron (I've been needing one for a while) for $10.00 so I thought that was all right.

J finally found some kitchen chairs at one of the secondhand stores. They're sturdy wooden ones - not flash, but much better than the fabric ones we did have that had been torn to shreds by the cats. 

I went to my friend's last night as usual where we stitched and watched TV. 

Today I've made chocolate chip muffins, and they are good if a little ... crunch. Nothing a few seconds in the microwave can't fix, I'm sure.

I finished Aunts Aren't Gentlemen by P G Wodehouse, which I was reading before bed. Every so often I like to dip into Star Trek novels - they're usually entertaining and readable, and not too mentally demanding. So I have Captain to Captain by Greg Cox lined up next.

I'm also reading Some Kind of Fairy Tale by Graham Joyce. I haven't read any of Graham Joyce's novels for many years, but he is one of my favourite authors. I have had this book on my shelves for a very long time, and discovered an absolute treasure when I opened it.

I must have specifically ordered this copy, but I don't remember it, so got a very pleasant surprise. It's even more of a treasure to me as Graham Joyce died in 2014.

So far I'm greatly enjoying the book, and it's making me want to go back and read or re-read his other novels. 

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