My youngest has had a week off college for the half term break and it has been lovely having no real plans or busy days. I have found myself watching a lot of TV and some shows that I have really enjoyed. I am here today sharing my favourites from the week and of course linking up with Erika and Andrea.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - Netflix!
A true story about the 1996 convictions of Lyle and Erik Menendez for the murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. It shares their story and the events surrounding the brutal slayings. Both were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
This was a hard watch but so interesting at the same time. The acting is incredible and I was really hooked. I only watched it as I had seen something on the news about the Menendez brothers. I really don't think they should still be in prison now.
Lazy mornings!
My youngest and I have not been setting the alarm clocks so have been waking up naturally, most mornings I have not been getting out of bed until around 9am. We really have been making the most of half term. hehehe When we have got up we've not rushed to get dressed and have had brunch every day. Pancakes, bacon sandwiches and pastries. Yum, yum!
Lunch out!
I know I am having a no spend month but I have been really good and decided we needed a treat so my fella and I went out for Sunday lunch. It is a carvery so you get given the meat and help yourself to the vegetables. My fella is sensible and gets a bit of everything but I go overboard with the roast parsnips, they're my favourite and there's no rules saying that I can't have 6. hehehe
Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare - Netflix!
Kirat Assi spent nearly a decade as the victim of an elaborate catfishing scheme now the focus of Netflix’s new documentary! This is the incredible tale of a young woman, Kirat from London who meets a man named Bobby via Facebook. The story began in 2010 as a Facebook friendship that evolved into a serious romantic relationship. However, whenever she attempted to meet Bobby in person, he always had an excuse: being shot, being in witness protection and having a stroke!
I used to love watching the TV show Catfish so I knew where this was heading but the lengths the fake Bobby went to were crazy! I wanted to scream at the TV, stupid woman but she was fooled and blinded by love. This was a good watch and I was hooked wanting to see how it all came out in the end.
This t-shirt!
Gilmore Girls!
This has been on my to-watch list for years. I think I started watching it a few years ago and didn't get past the first episode for one reason or another but this time I have stuck with it and I love it. There's no big drama, it's just life and it's nice and calm. The worst to happen so far is a cat has died.
The mother daughter duo of Lorelai and Rory bond over everything they do and are essentially inseparable. Their lives depend on each other for the most part and to some extent on their close friends.
What have you loved this week?
So nice you had a low key week and brunch each day! I haven't ever finished Gilmore Girls either, but maybe this would be a good time in life to start watching it. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteI liked Gilmore Girls a lot, but I didn't like the ending (just because I liked another character better). I hope you enjoy the series, it's relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThe T-shirt is gorgeous!
I liked Gilmore Girls so much back in the day but have had a hard time re-watching it as an adult. I did love how close they were though and thought they had a built a really great family of friends around themselves. That roast dinner looks delicious! The later sunrises have found me lazing in bed a bit later this past week or two and I'm not hating it.
ReplyDeleteYour relaxing half term break sounds wonderful! The roast lunch with all the veggies and gravy looks delicious. I watched Gilmore Girls when it first aired but lost track of the episodes (no catch up TV back then) I rewatched from start to finish about two years ago and loved it so much. The reunion series wasn’t so great though but I still loved seeing most of the old characters from Stars Hollow
