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 ends and it was a bit of a mixed bag really. I could have done without the hand injury but it will be ok when the medication kicks in. On the plus side I'm continuing with my exercise and better eating regime-I actually have muscles down my back for the first time in about twenty years! I also made a start to the varnishing of the never ending fences, which is good because that will take a lot of hours to complete. If I can get out there today and get the rest of the first coat of that new back fence done, I'll be a happy Chuckles. I'm aiming to have the first coats complete on the three fences by next weekend if the weather holds. Working with my mp3 player makes the time fly by, listening to all my favourite songs!
I had a good start to the week from a reading point of view, dealing with a few more off the tbr, and feeling the urge to finally tackle a longer book. I hope to get back to that tonight as I got a bit distracted watching dvds last night to rest after my painting exploits yesterday! Funny how you feel fine doing the painting but as soon as you stop you realise how knackered and sore you really are! Well, it needs to be done and then we can relax this summer!

The Week In Review
Got two of my planned reads for this week done but deviated away from the third to pick up something else instead. Great Big Teeth was a letdown and Sympathy For The Widow was brutal and very disturbing. I suggest you avoid it if you don't like reading fiction about child cruelty. A productive week with some painting, reading and dvd watching getting done.
The Week Ahead
I'm not sure how much reading while be done but I'll be ploughing my way through a big dinosaur apocalypse book for at least part of it. I hope to rewatch my SAS Who Dares Wins dvd box sets through the week and get some more varnishing done.
Varnishing a fence sounds like a lot of hard work. Good for you for tackling it! I always tend to feel better when I am eating better. I hope that you hand feels better soon. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI spent nine hours doing the front one day last week and I was wiped out for days! Just pushed it a little too much!
DeleteGood luck with your fences! I’m trying not to think about mine. They need to be power washed, and there are broken boards from my dog or the neighbors’ dogs jumping on them. That sounds like a big, boring summer project.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
It's when you get started and make the mistake of comparing the two planks you just did to the fifty or more that you still have to do! It is so depressing!
DeleteGood luck with your fence project! I hope it goes well...and doesn't make you too sore.
ReplyDeleteI'm at least a bit physically fitter than I was in 2019 when I last tackled the job so that's a good thing. I'm a bit more motivated this time to not take all summer about it!
DeleteGood luck with the better eating, I’m three weeks in to mine and hoping to start properly exercising in the next week instead of just walking the dog.
ReplyDeleteI caved earlier this week and had a big cheese pizza! Bad Chuckles!
