Hello,<\/p>\n

Well, it feels like another week has raced by and I hope this blog finds you keeping safe and well. I think one of the challenges for many of us at the moment is staying occupied. Well, I\u2019ve been listening to lots of podcasts from the BBC, loving the iPlayer and Netflix, and reading more than ever. In fact, I\u2019ve just finished Jackie Kabler\u2019s latest book, The Perfect Couple. It\u2019s a brilliant psychological crime thriller. I\u2019ll say no more, I wouldn\u2019t dream of even hinting to any spoilers. It\u2019s a really fantastic read and has superb reviews.<\/p>\n

Another favourite author of mine is Lee Child and the Jack Reacher series. I\u2019m also prone to steering myself back to the Harry Potter books which I just adore. We used to queue up outside of Waterstones on the night of the book release. It was great fun.\u00a0We\u2019re also filling our time with more of our favourite board games too.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I\u2019ve made a number of purchases over the last week or so from QVC as well. One for me and two for others who I\u2019m missing dearly right now. So, I\u2019ve sent a couple of treats from QVC to them.<\/p>\n

I was on air recently with the FixMe Stick<\/a> and decided to buy it for my Mac. It\u2019s a great item and brilliantly easy to use. The Windows PC version will hopefully be back in stock soon. You can find out about it right here. So that was the purchase for me and my Mac.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I haven\u2019t seen my mum for ages and it\u2019s going to be quite some time, by the sounds of it, before I do. Well, she caught me presenting the Skechers show last week and said how much she liked a particular pair of the sandals<\/a>. She was adamant she\u2019d pay me back for them if I could order them for her. Well, I did order them, they\u2019ve arrived, she loves them, but I\u2019m not letting her pay me back!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Then, there\u2019s my most recent purchase. I can\u2019t say who they\u2019re going to as they haven\u2019t arrived yet and they may be reading this blog. Needless to say, I may have to order some for myself now. The deliciously divine, Gower Cottage Brownies<\/a>! Original. They\u2019re so good. Just writing about them is making my mouth water. With a green tea, just perfect!<\/p>\n

Anyway, do take care, stay safe and I\u2019ll catch you on air again very soon.<\/p>\n

Charlie x<\/p>\n
