Love The Little Things, Week 20

Here we are again. I can't believe how quick this week has actually gone! It only feels like yesterday when I was writing last week's post.

Anywho, here is what I've been loving this week:

Read

I am STILL reading The Mystery Of Mercy Close. I know I was reading this two weeks ago, but it's a very large book and I have a 14 month old! The only time I manage to read anything is in the bath, or if I'm really lucky when I get in bed. But I'm normally that tired by the time I crash into bed that I can't focus on reading. However, this book is wonderful; a bit dark I think at times, but witty and definitely a page turner! 

Heard 

I've done better this week with what I've been listening to. I've made an effort and here is what's on my play list:

John Legend - All Of Me

Beyonce - Drunk In Love

Rita Ora - I will Never Let You Down

Cee Lo Green - Scream

Watched 

Finally managed to sit down and watch some TV this week! It was the return of Deadliest Catch on Discovery on Monday. The hubby had made me upgrade our Sky subscription last week, just so we could watch this! I do really like this program, but it's costing me an extra £7 a month to watch haha! If you don't know it, it's about a group of crab fishing boats up in the Bereing Sea. That makes it sound dull as anything, but I assure you, I felt the same and then I was converted after a couple of episodes! 

Wore 

Oh my goodness, I bought the most amazing jeggings ever! They are super soft and stretchy and don't dig into my belly after about an hour of wearing them! I bought them from Next and whilst not that cheap at £24 for jeggings, they are really fabulous! They have them in lots of colours so I may have to get them in a different colour!

Made 

As you might remember, I bought the Hairy Bikers Great Curries book the other week. So last weekend I made one of the curries out of it. I made the Chicken Makhani (butter chicken). It was delicious! A bit of a faff to make, as there was various stages to it - the marinade, the sauce, grilling the chicken, making the sauce etc, but it was all worth it. I didn't get a shot of the finished curry, but here it is bubbling away!

And finally...

There are various things I am looking forward to this weekend; Tonight is the first BBQ of the season, so I can't wait for that. Keeping it simple with burgers, sausages, cheesy jackets and salad. Might do something more elaborate next weekend. Then, tomorrow is the Manx Youth Games and the step-daughter is participating in the Crown Green Bowling event, representing the North of the Island. It's a really big event on the Isle of Man calendar. She did it last year as well but as we lived in a different part of the Island back then so she represented the West. The North won last year, so we have high hopes haha. Also hoping though, that her mother doesn't ruin the day for us like she did last year, kicking off at us there! Then, hubby is out tomorrow night so I am looking forward to sitting down with wine and The Great Gatsby! And then on Sunday, chill out and make a lovely roast dinner!
