Chuckles Weekend Roundup

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!

Another week has passed and suddenly we are in July, in the second half of the year. I've been busy sorting through stuff at my uncle's house, tidying our house, regular housework and falling a bit behind on blog posts and visits this week. Another weekend of catchup and I've been binge posting the last two days! On the plus side, I've got an empty weekend ahead to just get stuff done online and catch up. I'm having a few days off to wait for packages and next week it's back over to the house to remove more stuff-the exercise machines, fishing reels, electric fires that are pretty new and a few tools for house and garden.

 

I've stuttered to a halt on book buying now that I've re-started my Tackling The TBR book challenge. I did order some last week so I'm enjoying seeing them arrive this week. Quite a few Trump related ones which should be interesting. I'm pleased to report that deciding to start the challenge has kicked my brain back into gear and I've been reading ALL WEEK! EVERY NIGHT! A full report on what I've read is on my Friday Reading Roundup. I've actually enjoyed getting back into my reading and it feels like things are normal again, at least in my house! It's the outside world that is depressing but I can at least escape back into some booky adventures to get away from the news!

A busy week always plays havoc with my blog visits and comment catchup but I'll be connecting with you all this weekend!

Reading Challenges

 none this week

Films & TV & Music

I haven't really had a chance to watch much this week, just Great British Menu season 14 at night. I'm avoiding all British news channels as I'm sick of the same presenters and guests bashing everything the government tries to do without offering any of their own solutions. Instead we're watching CNN which is at least giving us news from around the world. But really, I've been too busy reading to watch much.

Book Tags/Blog Awards

The Week Ahead

I'm hoping to continue my reading streak and get through a few more shorter books. I've been reliving my childhood with Paddington and Enid Blyton and might stick with a couple of them as well as introducing a bit of horror in there too!
