Senses working overtime #553

1 Early morning vibe at Maple Grove

Today

Earlier in the week

2 Listening: Matthew Sweet - 100% Fun

3 Listening: WTWMC - Christmas Cracker

'Tis the season to be jolly!

4 Reading: Little Women - Louisa May Alcott

5 Watching: Doc (season 2)

Overtime: Doris Day

Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.

1 Locked in this week!

N.b. Those are not my fingers (ha!)

2 Watching: Doc (TV on demand)

It has an unusual premise for a medical drama and the ops aren't too gory.

3 Still reading: Our Mutual Friend

Re 'locked in' - I'm now up to page 757. It's divided into four books and I'm now onto the fourth. Hopefully the Jenny Wren mystery eventually resolves itself.

4 Listening: Stephen Stills - Manassas

5 Listening: WTWMC - Tragically unhip

Our guilty pleasure playlist is now complete with eye rollers and awesome tunes (sometimes both at the same time).

Overtime: David Lloyd George

'Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps'.

2 Watched: TV on Demand shows

We've been catching up with Graham Norton Show guests (Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and others), Elsbeth and now Doc.

3 Listening: Tay Tay's new one - The Life of a Showgirl

I like this one much more than the previous one (The Tortured Artists Department) which I found too long and not as seminal as Midnights.

4 Reading: Our Mutual Friend - Charles Dickens.

Closing in on halfway - up to page 382 (out of 1,000)

5 Listening: WTWMC - Tragically unhip

There are now 90 songs to elicit eye roll responses - guaranteed.

 

Overtime:  Selena Gomez

If you are broken, you do not have to stay broken.

2 Watched: Hunted season 7 (I think) TV on Demand

3 Listened to: Ringo Starr albums

Up to Starr in the Goo Goo G'Joob countdown. Try this live album - Live at Soundstage - on for size.

4 Still reading: Our Mutual Friend and Never (Rick Astley)

5 Listening: WTWMC - Tragically unhip

Overtime: Paulo Coelho

"You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it."
