Hello and Happy Friday! Itās time to join with Meggy @ChocolateānāWaffles to spread some positivity amongst all the doom and gloom on social media and in the news. Please feel free to join in with your own Happy Friday post and link to Meggyās post so that she knows and can say āhiā.
Whatās made me happy recently?
After over a year of looking, me and my family have finally moved to a new rental home. It’s such a relief, especially when we couldn’t look during lockdown, and then our landlords were getting impatient as they wanted the property for their son and his family. We’ve unpacked all the essentials, including our books and we’re settling in nicely. Time to relax and breathe š
I’m loving Sweet Magnolia’s on Netflix, a series that Jonetta @ Blue Mood Cafe recommended a few weeks ago. It’s such a sweet show that makes me feel good every time I watch an episode. I’m trying not to binge watch as there’s only 1 series available at the moment.
Having my husband and son at home for two weeks, so we could move in and enjoy our new home and neighbourhood together. š
Watching these parkour guys on YouTube!
Catching up with Series 4 of Peaky Blinders. The end of that first episode was shocking! š±š±š±
Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Friday Night Disco is back tonight on Instagram for one night only š¤©
Audiobooks on NetGalley!!!!
What’s made you happy this week?

I like house moves if new one is better than previous one but I hate chaos after the move. It takes whole week to unpack and settle things.

I’m happy to hear you moved in okay! And I’m quite happy with the new audiobook feature on Netgalley too; I’ve now discovered I do like audiobooks as long as I’m in the right mood and I don’t have time to sit down and read. Sewing, painting and cleaning will be so much more entertaining with them! xD xx

I’ve been terrible at listening to audiobooks while doing something that requires my brain so far haha. But with the painting coming up I’ll definitely be listening to at least one or two more. š xx
