More of what I #AmWatching and #AmReading

 

I don’t have a lot to say.  Not much is happening around here other than my taking things day by day in coping with my poor health, and things are currently staying stable with that.  And I don’t really want to talk about my health issues anyhow.  So, I’m back with more of what I’ve been watching and reading.

 

I started watching “Ahsoka” with Kelly.  I’m also still watching “Young Sheldon” with Kaila.  Not to mention the various roleplaying podcasts I’m still working my way through on YouTube.  There are a lot of those out there as it turns out.

 

As for reading… Here’s what I read in May:

 

Prelude to Foundation by Isaac Asimov

Witching up the Wrong Tree by Mara Webb

Switching Well by Peni R. Griffin

Paws to Remember by Sofie Kelly

Whiskers and Lies by Sofie Kelly

Hooked on a Feline by Sofie Kelly

 

If you want to know what I thought of anything, feel free to ask.

Lilie On #Dogs Getting Groomed

Hi everyone.  This is Lilie the Westie.

 

Me and Logan went to the groomer a couple of days ago.

 

But Mummy and Daddy forgot to get photos of us.  Sorry.

 

Only Daddy takes us to the groomer now.  Mummy can’t any more.  I don’t understand why, but Mummy and Daddy say that with Mummy being sick it’s easier if Daddy takes us by himself.  And me and Logan don’t mind too much, as long as we get to go.  We’re always glad to see Mummy when we get back home though.

 

Lots of licks,

Lilie

Catching Up On What I #AmWatching

Last week I told you about what I’ve been reading, so this week I thought I’d tell you about what I’ve been watching.

 

My friend, Kaila, and I watched the new version of “The Secret Garden” and the 1990s version of “A Little Princess” together.  That was actually back in March, so I may have mentioned that, but since I’m not sure, I figured I’d include them.  We’re also still working on “Young Sheldon” and have now started season 4.

 

I watched “Miss Potter” and “Pocahantas” with my Dad and my sister, Natalie, when Natalie was visiting from Norwich in April.  I’ve seen “Pocahantas loads of times, but it was fun watching it again.

 

Since I’m all caught up with the Critical Role campaign, I’ve also been watching all kinds of roleplaying Youtube videos similar to the ones the Critical Role group do.  The Critical Role ones are still my favourites, but I’m having fun watching others too.

***

 

I long since passed my Goodreads 2024 reading goal.

 

My original goal was for 12 books.  When I could see I was going to pass that I changed it to 18.

 

I'm not changing it again, despite having read about 27 books so far this year with more than half the year left.

 

I just want to let everything else I read be a bonus.

A Birthday And A Bloggerversary

 

Yesterday (May 2nd) was Kelly’s birthday.

 

So, belated happy birthday to him.

 

That makes today my bloggerversary.

 

It’s my 18th bloggerversary, and the first thing I posted, back when I started my blog in 2006, was a belated birthday post for Kelly.

 

So, happy bloggerversary to me.
