Senses working overtime #511

1 The feeling this week

2 Watching: Cobra Kai - Season 6




A fun, non-stressful way to end each day.


3 Listening: WTWMC Kiwi Pik n Mix




The playlist is now complete - 90 waiata o Aotearoa for your listening pleasure.


4 Listening: Van Morrison - Celtic New Year




After listening to my Van Morrison collection this week I've selected Magic Time to highlight here and the beautiful Celtic New Year (from Later...with Jools Holland)


5 Reading: The McCartney Legacy (Kozinn/ Sinclair) and Scented (Fearnley)




Yes, still chewing through these. They are now competing with schoolwork, blogging, journaling etc, but I aim for a few pages each day in each. Both are enjoyable for very different reasons. I'm in awe of the forensic detail in both (McCartney's life and the smells in Scented).


Overtime: James Clear

"Spend today interpreting whatever people do in the most generous way. See if you feel better as a result."

2 Reading: Songbird (The Intimate Biography of Christine McVie) - Lesley-Ann Jones





I'm not one for biographies usually, but Christine McVie (an unassuming superstar) didn't write her autobiography and this is an interesting account of her life. So, it will have to do.


3 Watched: Smother




4 Smell: Blue de Chanel



With a return to school, a return to routines (YAY)


5 Listening: WTWMC - Kiwi Pik n Mix




The end of the third week. Halfway. The playlist now has 45 songs.
