Listened




The Beach Cafe by Lucy Diamond

(Another gem of a read in the stash of books where a girl in her 30s ends up chasing her dream of owning a cafe/shop which I absolutely adore!)







Murder on the Flying Scotsman by Carola Dunn
Crime

(A bit like ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ but way more fun and with a female detective!)

Aikatsu

10E/10E
(Wishing there were more episodes featuring Aikastu8 group!)







Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream

Holby City
Medical drama, English version
9/10E
(Mo isn't all that nice to Adele…)







Waterloo Road
School drama, English version
8/10E
(A better episode than last week, still not as exciting and melodramatic as it can - ok so I hate infidelity plots too…)







Winx: Season 1
REWATCH! - Anime, French version
10E/10E
(This is a less scary season and way more enjoyable now.  I make good use of the fast forward button on the parts involving gross creatures…)








Craft, games and more
This week I've played on the usual 10E/10E Gameloft games…



…Ice Age Village has an amazingly cool event for 2 weeks-if I can collect crayons from animals I can get special fall/autumn themed items!!



My Little Pony is also expanding, and my friend is back on it so I can get extra hearts from her. I've got Rainbow Dash! And I'm saving up for Fluttershy.




Last but not least is Littlest Pet Shop, which is taking longer to level up because I'm on the last few stages for a lot of animals so it takes many hours before I can feed/clean/play with them.



Craft wise I've mostly been doing sewing, as I've needed to unwind. I've completed the umbrella and started on the purple and pink puddles!




Here's an updated pic of one blanket which I must finish this weekend.
