Jam Sponge, Easy Street and Trump – #LittleLoves

Read

I haven’t had a chance to read my book for ages.  I really should make a bit of time in the evenings but I’m so tired come 9pm after a day of running around after the kiddies, that I can barely stare at the television never mind read!  When I was at work I used to read in my lunch break, so that might be the time I take back for myself when I return to work in January.

Watched

This week I finished watching the final series of House of Lies.  I am gutted there will be no more Kaan & Associates in my life!  Kristen Bell played a fantastic role throughout and in the last season plays a new breastfeeding mother.  If you’re looking for something new to watch, it’s a great drama but be prepared for lots of swearing and adult scenes.

Made

This week, I baked an old favourite from my school days…  Coconut & jam sponge cake.  It’s such a 70’s bake but it is totally yummy too.  So comforting at this time of year!  I’ve also been making some hearty casseroles for dinner which have gone down well.

Wore

Last night, I attended a fancy-pants dinner that hubs had organised to celebrate a rather epic achievement at work.  I sat on a table with Wayne Hemingway, co-founder of Red or Dead and HemingwayDesign fashion houses.  Oh my days.  What a night!  I wore this Cameo Rose dress with black heels.

Heard

Watched this weeks The Walking Dead?  You’ll get why I’m putting this here…  Apologies for the ear-worm.

and Lastly…

This week can’t pass without a nod to the election of a new President in the United States of America.  I’m still in a state of disbelief, I think, but the people have spoken.  I am saddened that the USA isn’t ready to embrace a first female President.  I had hopes that Hilary Clinton could implement paid maternity leave to better support new mothers – somehow, I can’t see Trump doing so.  We all remember him saying that pregnancy was an inconvenience, right?  I guess we will need to watch this space.
