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 has been such a busy week off the blog and my infected hand and scrapbooking has taken up a lot of my time, so not as many posts as I would've liked to do. I'm not doing my daily diary from now on as there is little to report so I'll do one a week with all the virus related news I have from the UK. I want to try and get a few more posts on other things posted this week and lighten the mood a bit! Now that I've started reading again, there will be book reviews starting to trickle out again and hopefully I can find a few book tags!
Yes I did buy a few more books! I'm getting more interested in monarchy before Queen Elizabeth II, and I found more political non fiction. I'm waiting for them to arrive from Amazon but I'll do a post about the books today or tomorrow. I also picked up a few cheap downloads. I'm ignoring the TBR and enjoying having the books arrive for the moment!
Chuckles Blogging World
I'm fully up to date with my blog visits this week and today I'll catch up with blog comments. That sets me up nicely for the rest of the weekend, even if I am a day late! I've been a day off in my thoughts and thought this was Friday. Oh well!

I used to love scrapbooking, but when we moved, I just didn't have the space. I will treasure the books I made though. Maybe you will give us a peek at your pages? Hope you hand is getting better.
ReplyDeleteI'll need to get my camera out and maybe do a post about the scrapbooks as I go along! I'll be off to do some of that this afternoon!
DeleteI may have done a bit of a shopping binge myself this week! I've been pretty controlled but I just needed a few presents! And there may have been a pretty sizable book haul! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWe all need treats with the stress that is all around us. Whether it is cheese and chocolate, books and dvds, beer and fizzy drinks...we need to keep our morale up!
DeleteI hope your hand is feeling better! I have not ever tried to scrapbook but it sounds like a nice way to spend some time. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLooking at my hand today, it does seem better but the medication finishes today and I could do with a couple more days on it!
DeleteI hope your hand is better now? I've burned my hand and my arm in the past week and the hand especially needed special attention to stop it going funky. :( Not a good time for it really.
ReplyDeleteThankfully it cleared up nicely. I was lucky that a bad infection didn't set in!
