A weekend away with family πŸŒΈ

This weekend me and Tim went to stay with my Auntie & Cousin in Norwich. We had planned this trip for a little while but the snow had scuppered our plans earlier on in March!

With the weather clear and our bags packed we headed off on Friday after work. We made it in good time (although a slow moving tractor on the way almost trapped us for a bit, good old East Anglia)

We were greeted with a delicious tea of pizzas which we all enjoyed, whilst catching up.

We also got cuddles with my Aunties new baby guinea pigs Digby and Tufty. They are brothers and are super cute! (Below is Digby!)

On Saturday Morning (being the keen parkrunners that we are) me and Tim got up and went in search of Brundalls Parkrun, our first outing as Parkrun tourists. We actually found it quite easily and it was really cool doing a different course. Plus being good and still going out for a run whilst away meant we could be more indulgent when necessary over the weekend haha.

We really enjoyed the run and although it was a bit worrying not knowing the course it turned out to be pretty straight forward, A 4 lap course, we just had to remember which lap we were on!

We headed back to freshen up and have some brekky.

We spent the rest of the day watching films and playing board games. perfect weekend entertainment, especially the board games as they were vintage ones from my aunties loft (They don’t make board games like they used to these days) We found some real gems.

We went out for a meal in the evening to a local Indian restaurant that we frequent on our trips to see my Auntie, it’s lovely there and the food is really tasty.

We enjoyed poppodoms & sauces to start and for the main I chose the tandoori chicken with boiled rice, yummy.

On Sunday we all indulged in a much deserved lie in followed by a chilled out day of watching tv, chatting, having copious amounts of tea, an amazing roast dinner cooked by my cousin and playing a fun word based card game called Wordsmithery.

It’s always such a shame when a lovely long weekend ends! Back to the reality of a working week. Thank goodness it’s a short one, roll on the Easter Hols I say, I’m defiantly feeling it now ZZZzzzzz.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Until next time,

My favourite Netflix shows πŸ“Ί

I thought I would share with you my favourite shows on Netflix. There are so many great show’s on there & here are just a few of my favourites as well as some other suggestions of things to watch too.

 How I met your mother 

Ted’s epic search for his soul mate is told largely through flashbacks, as an adult Ted recounts how he met their mother. This sitcom is so funny! It reminds me a lot of Friends where it is based around the dynamics & characters in a friendship group.

There are 9 series on Netflix (I’m hoping that’s of them but I don’t want to look it up incase anything about the series is spoiled for me)

The Big Bang Theory 

Quarks fly when two geeky physicists discover that they have a new neighbour, a sexy actress who inspires them to try a relationship with real women.

This science & relationship based comedy is brilliant! It’s so funny & clever with some very unique characters.

There are currently 9 series on Netflix to watch and series 10 is on TV at the moment.

Pretty Little Liars 

As time has passed since Alison, then the Queen been of the bunch went missing. Spencer, Aria, Hanna & Emily have gone on with their lives, though they’ve grown apart. As the years go by, each girl finds herself facing a new set of challenges when anonymous text messages from “A” threaten to expose all their secrets both old secrets the girls were sure only Alison knew, and newer secrets developed after Alison’s disappearance. Who is “A” and how does he or she know the things he or she knows? 

This series is based on the books by Sara Shepherd. There are 7 seasons on Netflix at the moment. It’s a really good story to follow with lots of drama, twists & turns. 

Jessica Jones 

She’s a gifted PI hiding a past that’s left her broken, but still fighting. Revenge may be sweet, but she isn’t. 

This is based around the Marvel character called Jessica Jones, set in the fictional city of Hells kitchen. This is very deep, with lots of plot twists & an interesting insight into the mind.

There is currently 1 series on Netflix but a new season is out this week!

Jane the Virgin

A young women’s life long goal to stay pure is foiled. Now she’s got 9 months to come up with a new plan. 

Jane was determined to not make the same mistakes as her mum, she is engaged to a handsome detective who supports her decision you remain a virgin until marriage, but a routine visit to the clinic turns her life upside down. Insemination by a specimen meant for a patient in the next room, Jane is in a situation made only more insane when she learns that the sperm donor is her boss, Rafael. As her meticulously planned life gets more like the telenovelas she loves, she makes a lot of complicated decisions about the future.

This show has one season available on Netflix & this is definatly worth a watch πŸ‘
