Weekly Catch Up: 14.11.21

Here is my weekly post each Sunday to catch up from the week before.

I will be sharing what I have been up to, what I have read, am reading and what’s up next along with other weekly catch up news.

What I have been up to this week:

I haven’t been feeling very well this week, so I took a day off work this week. I’m feeling a little bit better now and I am having a chill weekend, whilst my daughter is at her Dads. My daughter has started another dance class at school & I just got an email about Music lessons for the Ukulele at school. It is different but I did a lot of music when I was younger so it would be nice for her to learn an instrument.

Including email subscribers, I have reached 200 followers to my blog so another amazing achievement to end the week. 😊

I have been thinking about new posts for the new year, which I am excited about. 💕

Reading wise, I have completed six books this week, including three short stories and a children’s book.
