Despite the festivity of Zeus, his behaviour of late has us thinking he's doing his best to get onto the naughty list. There have been some 'accidents' inside that were not really accidents but seemed more like points being made, and he launched himself onto my bed in a move that really didn't match up to the bung hips he usually sports. The bed is a banned area, for him, not me, but as you can see in the photographic evidence here, he didn't seem to be taking that on board.
There is a possibility that he will get coal in his stocking if this mischief and nonsense prevails.
What I've been watching:
A very mixed bag this month. Where to start? This year is the 20th anniversary of Love Actually, so I've already done one watch of that. There will be more, including (hopefully) a trip to the cinema to see it on the big screen, re-released for its anniversary. I did go to the cinema this month, M and I saw Napolean, which was sweeping, epic, well cast, and very entertaining. I highly recommend it.
In TV, The Great British Bake Off is back! New episodes every Tuesday night, my ultimate comfort show and honestly, I look forward to it so much each week. I'm a season behind with The Crown so I've started to slowly make my way forward through it in light of the new season airing on Netflix. M, youngest son, and I all watched Scrublands, based on the novel by Chris Hammer. It was a very good adaptation, if you were a fan of The Dry movie, you'll enjoy this. M and I also watched another literary adaptation, All The Light We Cannot See. I liked it more than M. I really should read the book now. And last but not least, Deadwater Fell, a Scottish crime drama. Wow. This is amazing. Really, really gripping. And incredibly sad. My pick for the month.
What I've been listening to:
Two memoirs and two fictions. The Silent Patient was my book club read for November. We meet next week to discuss. I thought it was a ridiculous book. Time will tell as to whether I am in the minority or not. One memoir was better than the other and Really Good, Actually was, well, really good, actually!
What I've been reading:
Four out of these five were review books with So Late in the Day my only read from my own library. An Unexpected Ally was the only 'bad' read out of this batch. I went into why in my review so won't harp on again here. The other four reads were all excellent. I've yet to review Doll's Eye, it's been a mad week and I've just not had the chance yet, but it was a five-star read for me.
In other news:
My youngest son graduated high school and that's a complete wrap on school for this family!
