Sunday Catch Up

30th October 2016

Hi guys and happy Sunday!

This week seems to have gone by in a blur for me, busy busy busy. I attended a few blog events (read about my Pixi by Petra meeting here) and I’ve been working non stop too. Overall it’s been pretty good! I just so wish I had a moment to breathe though.

This week I’ve been;

Watching: Elementary – and quite liking it! I love Lucy Lui so much, she’s a very awesome Watson to say the least. I weren’t sure about Johnny Lee Miller being Sherlock, but he plays it really well. However, I just don’t think THIS Sherlock will ever beat the British one. The stories are great, the cast is fab, I love the changes they’ve made. But overall.. I like that Benedict Cumberbatch is weirder, colder, and they tend to really make more of his deductive skills than in the American remake. But yeah, still enjoying it.

My faves, Greys Anatomy and Criminal Minds are also back! YAY!

Reading: The Girl With All The Gifts – Whenever I get a chance. I’m about 60% through and enjoying it a lot, I wish I had more time to sit down and binge read though.

Listening to: Random playlists and podcasts. A lot of ‘Reply All’ podcast, as there’s always something different. Also a lot of Ted Talks – they’re so fucking inspiring. In case anyone wonders, THIS is my favourite Ted Talk of all time. It also makes me cry everytime, and I’m not sure why. Something about ‘not belonging’ really resonates with me. Please do watch it, I guarantee you’ll be glad!

Drinking: Too much hot chocolate. Co Op sent us a great food hamper this week, and included hot chocolate and mini marshmallows and I’ve just gone a bit mental with it, haha.

Eating: Too much Halloween themed candy.

Wondering: If everything is going to be okay – I’m feeling a little worried lately.

Feeling: Worried, and a tad lonely. But ‘okay’ overall.

Looking forward to: Catching up with friends

Wishing for: A break.

 

Suggest things that should fill up my next week! What should I read/listen to/watch/try?

Tell me something that is INSPIRING YOU in the comments!

  1. I’ve been feeling worried and lonely too. Anxiety has been a problem pretty much all my life, and it’s been hitting me at the moment, mostly because the other half is away fixing his bike (as we don’t have the space here for him to do the work). We’ve made the place we live ours, so when he’s not here it doesn’t feel quite right, but hopefully he’ll be home soon.

    Fortunately I picked up #GirlBoss last week. After reading it I’ve been feeling a little better, and trying to focus on what I want to get out of life. I’ve also, finally, mostly got my desk sorted. I’m just waiting on an ergonomic cushion for my desk chair, in the hope that will mean I don’t have any more problems with it (I hate being short…), and then all should be well.

  2. I don’t think anything will beat the british sherlock, benedict cumberbatch is just great at the role. i hope you feel better soon, i always read a new book to make my worries go away. i’ve just finished reading james patterson’s ‘burn’ which was really good. if you love criminal minds you’ll love that!

  3. If you haven’t already, you should watch the first series of Scream Queens (it’s a mock-thriller and perfect for Halloween) because the new series is out atm. I still need to watch the last episode of the 1st series but I absolutely love it 😀

    Hope you’re wish for a break gets fulfilled soon
