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!
A quieter week here at The Book Cave. I've been stepping up my exercises in the morning to a 40 minute workout now and I can see a difference in shape (our scales don't work so I'm blissfully unaware of my actual weight!). It's tiring but the benefits are there so I'll be keeping it up. No word yet on my dad's second vaccine dose but I hope we hear something in the next few weeks to get that out of the way. He got his first dose the start of February so maybe this month or start of April? Hope so. I'll have a couple of months to wait for mine I expect.
Anyway I've been getting on with stuff on the computer during the day while watching some sport. I'm taking advantage of live sport while I have it as we are thinking about switching to get Netflix and maybe Disney so we can stick two fingers up to the BBC and their stupid TV licence, which we totally hate paying when we don't even WATCH the BBC! I'll miss my darts and cricket but it'll save money. We need to get a couple of smart TV's for the house first though and who knows when we can do that with Scotland still in lockdown.
On the plus side I'm still getting lots of reading done which is great, especially when most of it is horror! I'm getting a novella a day done on average which is great though I have a few pre-ordered books due over the next few months which will put a tiny dent in progress, but I'm getting there. The standard of the reads is mixed but it gets them all off the tbr which is the main point of it all. Read Dem Books!

The Week In Review
My reading aim this week was to read Cirque Berserk which I did and I got quite a few more done as well, including finishing an Enid Blyton one I started last summer and forgot to finish for some unknown reason. I read a full length zombie book and a short novella just before the weekend as well to finish things off nicely. More reading tonight!
The Week Ahead
I'm looking to get a few more novellas dealt with this week as I seem to be rattling through them right now! Full steam ahead!
I love Netflix. We got it last year, and I watch it all the time. I hope you have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I so much want to get it but not until I get the stupid smart tv fitting!
DeleteYay for getting up to 40 min. of exercise every morning. That's awesome. I need to do better at that. And here's hoping your dad will be able to get his second shot soon. Have a good weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThere are days I don't want to do it but I keep telling myself I can do it even if I'm tired and sore, as I'll feel better afterwards and it's true!
DeleteWell done on the exercise, my exercise mainly comes from walking the dog but I need to add something else, I don’t know if I can become a yoga bunny!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't be bothered with yoga. I see no purpose in tying my legs behind my head or imitating animals! Normal exercises for problem body parts is enough for me!
Delete40 minute workout- wow that's awesome. And good luck with yor dad getting his second dose. I hope that goes well. I want to get a smart TV also...
ReplyDeleteDinos!!!
I need to get a few more dino books on my tbr but not until I clear a few more!
DeleteWe got rid of Cable a few months ago and now have Netflix and Hulu. I was paying $200 a month for cable so this is so much cheaper.
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly a big difference in cost isn't it. I wish I could get it done right now.
DeleteI'm glad it was a quieter week and congratulations on the exercise! I've been struggling a bit - especially for longer workouts. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteMentally it can be a real struggle with the exercise. That's where I have my battles against my 'can't be bothered today' thoughts!
DeleteI am glad that you had a quiet week! Hopefully, your dad can get his second dose soon. I hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteI could do with a whole week in my bed doing nothing but reading and watching stuff but that ain't gonna happen so I better just get on with stuff!
DeleteCongrats on finding an exercise routine that is working for you!! I just downloaded the FitOn app, and I'm trying to make more time for working out. I've been horrible at staying on track after getting really sick last year. I wish you luck and fun with the process! :)
