WATCHED


Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(Seeing this version with more eps being subtitled helps hugely in understanding the story better. )





Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live
Anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(I couldn't help myself! I simply had to start rewatching this series which is part of the PrettyRhythm franchise but is a tad different to the other shows.)





Holby City
Drama, English version
8/10E

Top Gear
Documentary, English version
10E/10E
(I usually laugh a lot during this carshow. I'm not a huge car person but the trio of presenters are highly entertaining, so much so my family, who were on the phone as I watched this on my tablet, wondered why I was howling with laughter and having tears streaming down my face. I nearly got a stitch from laughing so much in this 1st episode of the latest series on BBC2...)





Call the Midwife
Drama, English version
8/10E
(This is one of a few shows I watch with my family. I love the nuns who are rather funny!)






Aikatsu
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(Saved the best til last! Can't get enough of this fun show. Ichigo is like me in so many ways...)








Craft and other hobbies
Since I had ketamine treatement this weekend all I've really done is read a lot. I've done a bit more sewing,  and that's it for this week.
