READ

Overcoming Chronic Fatigue by Mary Burgess & Trudie Chalder

Non-fiction, Self-Help book

9/10E

(Interesting as I deal with fatigue on a daily basis.)

House Trained by Jackie Bouchard

Contemporary

10E/10E

(A funny and insightful read about a woman with a much loved dog who discovers her husband has a grown up child who has a child of her own, and they come to live with them, changing both their lives radically!)

LISTENED

Breakfast at Darcy's by Ali McNamara

Contemporary, Romance

NOT YET FINISHED - 10E/10E

(I'm loving watching Darcy slowly get used to living on an island and being responsible for how her community runs...)

WATCHED

Kanon (2006 version)

Slice of Life and Supernatural Anime, English version

10E/10E

(Bittersweet anime which made me cry a lot, about teens at school, wolf spirits, touching on depression, suicide and other dark parts of life which has a kind of happy ending...)

AKB0048 Next Stage

Music Idol Anime, Japanese version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(Finished it! The end makes me cry with happiness as it's so awesome when Nagisa becomes the next Acchan!)

 

Diamond Daydreams

Slice of Life Anime, English version

10E/10E

(Finished this incredible short series with 2 part episode stories about 6 women experiencing important life issues which require tissues to watch...)

Angelic Layer

Mecha Anime, Japanese version

REWATCH -  10E/10E

(Going without subs as I've seen it enough times that it can be an anime I can relax with: adore Hikaru's outfit which Mizuki makes for her!)

 

Air TV series + OVA

Slice of Life Anime, English version

10E/10E

(An engrossing anime which is bittersweet and addictive right until the end.)

 

Liberty's Kids

Historical Anime, English version

10E/10E

(Sarah's antics and attitude make me laugh as she saves them from being discovered by the red coats with her suddenly urgent desire to make tea [thus destroying a scroll which could have thrown them in prison]!)

Winx Club:  Season 4

Magical Girl Anime, French version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(The girls now have Sophix which have gorgeous coloured outfits to fit in with the compassionate side of their nature powers!)

Cuffs

Police Drama, English version

10/10E

(It's ended! Although hopefully there will be a new series as there were some unfinished and new plot lines...)

Holby City

Medical Drama, English version

10/10E

(I know she has an attitude problem and possibly didn't do enough to help the patient in question but I was so glad when the case against Jaq escalated and put her as the victim. I don't want her to go!)

 

Casualty

Medical Drama, English version

8/10E

(An alright episode, though nothing amazing happened...)

 

Oxford Street Revealed

Documentary, English version

10E/10E

(For some reason learning about how shops work, and the effort the street staff and police work to keep this famous London street up to dealing with millions of visitors each year is addictive: I discovered a whole new series!)

 

Aikatsu movie

Music Idol Anime, Japanese version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(Watched it without subs as I know the story and cried in several places which are just so beautiful!)

 

Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future

Music Idol Anime, Japanese version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(Hein struggles with finding what her strengths are, and manages to win on several levels!)

 

Is the Order A Rabbit?

Slice of Life Anime, Japanese version

10E/10E

(An adorable show about a girl who adores bunnies who moves to a cafe with a bunny sounding name to live while she attends her new school – it's about friendship and ditzy-ness!)

Aikatsu

Music Idol Anime, Japanese version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(Mikuru goes all out in growing a delicate flower to get a Vivid Kiss Premium Dress, since she wants to shine alongside Mizuki, rather than just with her...)

The Aristocats

Disney movie, English version

10/10

(I'd forgotten how much I love slightly snooty Marie [the white kitten] and one of her brothers, Toulouse, when he pretends to scare away cats and puffs up while spitting)

KinMoza

Slice of Life Anime, Japanese version

10E/10E

(Finished this adorable anime about two friends from Japan and England who grow to love each other.)

 

Clannad

Slice of Life and School Anime, English version

10E/10E

(Funny with strong female characters and lots of humour among the darker side of life stuff...)

Kobata

Magical Girl Anime (sort of), Japanese version

10E/10E

(A mega cute anime with an unusual premise, which deals with darker issues like debt collectors coming to a kindergarden and terrorising the students!)

Craft and fun things!

I've made a bit more progress on this pretty purple blanket...

I've finished an owl cross stitch project which was enjoyed greatly as a present ...

I've been having fun decorating tiara's and bringing colour to both Ariel and Mulan in my Disney Princess Art Therapy Book...

I made vegan Hello Kitty shaped shortbread cookies ....

...as well as some gluten free white chocolate chip cookies. Both taste delicious!

I've also made more centres for truffles.

Although I haven't played any games this week – been too tired – I've heard there's a fun new update on the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Game, so I may check that out soon....
