Welcome to my feature Chuckles Weekend Roundup where I will be looking at what books I've received, anything interesting I've done or bought or watched and other random stuff. I'll be taking a look back at what happened in my blogging world too, sort of like The Sunday Post that some of you do!
Please note that I'll be visiting your STS/SP as normal, but I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by Google Plus, or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave comments, and I won't allow DISQUS to follow new people, update my profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I am the only one who does that on my social media! I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account. Sometimes, I have problems leaving messages on blogs hosted by Wordpress-they try to block me because I deleted my account with them but I will persevere as it only happens the odd time!
****************
It's been quite a week here at The Book Cave. On Monday I had to get medication changed. On Tuesday I had the long awaited extraction at the dentist. I never felt a thing from start to finish so that was good. It took a couple of hours to stop bleeding which was a pain but it hasn't really been sore. On Wednesday I started feeling really bad and it took until last night for the medication to get me back on track. To complicate things, my dad has been in bed sick for two days. He's much better today but it has been a frustrating week! I haven't been online much as my concentration was lacking so I'm playing catchup this weekend!
I did treat myself to a few second hand political books to cheer myself up, as you do, and they'll come in a week or so. I'm glad to say I was still able to get some reading done. I was a bit disappointed with my reads this week so I hope for better for the weekend and into next week!

Chuckles Blogging World
I've been all over the place this week to be honest so I have a lot of things to catch up with. I'll be visiting blogs through the weekend and catching up with blog comments too. I hope to be back to all normal blogging for next week.

This week I read four and abandoned one. The books were all a bit disappointing and none got above 3 stars which is a pity. This week I'm going back to a few old favourite authors to hopefully get some better reads!
"as you do" lol Yes, buy a book and feel better.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the dentist went ok but hope everything else improves for you and your dad.

It always works doesn't it! Any excuse for a book buzz! I think we're both feeling sorry for ourselves more than anything now so it is time to have a relaxing weekend of films, sport and books!
DeleteWhat a crappy week. I'm sorry. Hope next week is better!
ReplyDeleteYep just one of those weeks you want to see the end of! Still, we're doing ok and next week will hopefully be better!
DeleteSorry to hear you and your father were under the weather. Glad you were able to get some meds to help. Don't worry about online. Rest and take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt was the stupid meds that caused all the darn problems, at least for me! I hate when a medication needs to be changed, it just knocks me for six!
DeleteUgh, sorry your week was a rough one!
ReplyDeleteI hope both you and your dad feel better soon.
Fingers crossed for better books! I've only read one book this week as life got in the way but I really hope to sink into a few this coming week... I need the distraction and escape!
Not the greatest week but we are both much better now! I really do need a great book or four this week so I can zoom through them quickly! Hope you get the chance to read more this week!
DeleteAh! I hate the dentist. I just had a cleaning done and even something as simple as that made me sore for days. I hope you're healing quickly! <3
ReplyDeleteI hate that cleaning thing he does worse than anything else! It's sore when it hits the gum!
DeleteI hope you and your dad feel better soon! I like that you buy books to make yourself feel better. If I had more money, I’d do the same thing. New books are hard to resist!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I don't do as much retail therapy as I used to but the occasional splurge is fun!
DeleteHope this week is so much better. I ended up taking Grandpa back to his small hometown for their Homecoming event yesterday (so small there was no cell service!) so I didn't do my normal weekend blog hops. Catching up now. Hope both you and Dad are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI think we're both feeling a bit fed up with not being able to get stuff sorted in the house and garden due to the health and weather issues!
