Joke of the week:
~~***~~
What I’ve been watching:
I’d been wanting to see Judy & Punch right from when I saw the first preview for it but it was never screened in the cinema where I lived. It’s streaming on Stan now so I finally got to watch it. Very good! An Australian production too. It’s very dark, the sort of humour I enjoy most.
I’m one season into this adaptation of the Midnight, Texas book series by Charlaine Harris (of True Blood fame). They only made two seasons, so halfway through. I’m quite enjoying it.
This one popped up on Stan on Friday. I watched the first episode and am keen to get into the rest. It makes you realise how vulnerable you are when you need surgery.

Pretty purchases:
Handmade locally, I couldn’t resist!

What I’ve been reading:
Some of my reading this week crossed over from last week. The Good Wife of Bath was quite long so I was still reading that until almost mid-week. The First Time I Thought I Was Dying is an essay collection so I was reading that over breakfast, one essay at a time.

Until next week… 😊📚☕

The cast is strong. Joshua Jackson, Alec Baldwin and Christian Slater. From what I’ve seen so far, JJ has nailed the doctor.

Haha, great joke.
I don’t have streaming services so can’t comment on your viewing, but Joshua Jackson! I knew I recognised that face.
The book of essays interest me!

I really liked the essays. As you know, I’m not all that partial to memoirs but this was entirely different and better. Personal experience infused into well informed writing orbiting around themes related to our bodies and the way they function. Some people are so clever!

I think this is why I like Garner’s essays too -insightful commentary that also tells a lot about herself.

I need to read more essays. It’s a form I really enjoy but had forgotten about – if that makes sense!

I’m still watching Grimm with my daughter, and after binging on all seven seasons of The Great British Sewing Bee, I’ve just started on New Amsterdam on Netflix
Say Nothing has been on my TBR for ages.
Wishing you a great reading week

I really liked Grimm! Is New Amsterdam good? I have seen promos and been interested by them.
Hope yours is a good reading week too!

So far so good, pretty much like other medical drama’s but with a more positive (if totally unrealistic) spin

I’ve got my copy of The First Time I Thought I Was Dying waiting for me in my (teetering) TBR stack. Looking forward to getting into it!

Yes! I’m so glad you’ve got one because out of all of my bookish buds, you were one who I kept thinking of whilst reading. I know you’ll appreciate it and I’m really looking forward to when you read it.
