Image result for Once Upon A Time: Season 4 emma
Once Upon A Time: Season 4
Fantasy drama, English version
REWATCH - 10E/10E
 (I finished my favourite series of this ace fairy tale themed show: got season 5 so by the time you read this meme I will have started it! Emma's gone bad!!!)




Image result for My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Season 2 spike
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Season 2

Prison Break:  Season 1
Thriller drama, English version
REWATCH - 10E/10E
(Thanks to a free Netflix trial I'm enjoying this prison themed show which feels odd for me to like it as there are few female characters, but there's something compelling about it.)




Image result for My Little Pony Friendship is Magic:  Season 2
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic:  Season 2
Anime, English version
REWATCH - 10E/10E
(I was glad that I'm 'watching' this for a background listen while gaming because the opening 2 part episodes freaks me out too much to be able to watch it properly: chaos happens thanks to evil Disord, and Ponyville gets too freaky for me to watch without having nightmares. I wish I was exaggerating. Thankfully now on other episodes!!! )




Image result for Aikatsu: Season 2 mikuru
Aikatsu: Season 2
Music Idol anime, Japanese version
REWATCH - 10E/10E

The Great British Bake Off
Coking show, English version
10/10E
(This week involved desserts, so many struggled with mousse since it was a super hot day when they filmed it...








 
CRAFT ETC
This week I've done a bit of crochet (I think) but not enough progress to show you. However, I did make these super yummy chocolate chip cookies!

...still not perfectly soft so the hunt for the perfectly soft choc chip cookie continues!

Game wise, it's been minimal playing on Animal Crossing New Leaf because it's event time for the Japanese Love Live School Idol Project! Trying to get these super cute cards, but it means I have to get in the top 2 tiers in order to be able to get the transformed Ruby card (redhead) which I so want! I'm currently high enough in the points to get it, but with 6 days until the event ends anything could happen, so I'm spending all my game time getting my points higher!

I've managed to get a load of high ranked cards this week, but there are too many to post in this meme (I plan on doing a separate post on Love Live SIF very soon).  That's pretty much been my week, hope you have had a good one too !
