What I have loved this week! Week 12. #FridayFavourites

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a good week. Mine has been a good one but pretty quiet. I've not really been up to much but there have still been a lot of lovely moments. As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea to share the things that I have loved over the past week.

What I have loved this week

Pluribus!
Pluribus is a 2025 American post-apocalyptic science fiction drama on Apple TV+ created by Vince Gilligan. The series follows Carol, a cynical romance novelist who becomes one of the few humans immune to a mysterious, extraterrestrial virus that transforms the rest of humanity into a peaceful, euphoric, and cooperative hive mind!

Why did no one tell me about this TV show? I read that it was by the makers of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul so I knew I would love it. The main character is the same actress who plays Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul and she made me laugh and actually took everything that was happening so well. I couldn’t stop watching and ended up bingeing the whole thing in just a couple of days. It’s such a brilliant twist on the usual end of the world story. I’m gutted that season two is at least a year away, maybe 2.

An Icon glass!

Strawberry glass

I finally got one of those Icon glasses that I’ve been seeing everywhere and I love it! It is the perfect glass for my iced coffee.

A long windowsill!
I never thought I’d see a day when I’d be happy about our long kitchen windowsill. It's about 8ft long. Most of the time it just annoys me. It’s one of those places which ends up cluttered no matter what I do but I have been planting seeds and the windowsill is the perfect space for them to start to grow. It gets the sun for most of the day and the kitchen is quite warm. Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything grows!

Mother's Day Cards!
Mother’s Day here in the UK was on Sunday and I had such a lovely day. I always say that I know my girls love me and they don’t need a special day to prove it but it’s really nice to be a bit spoilt. The cards made me laugh the most. I got two from each of them, one sweet and one funny and what it said on the cards was so true!

Song, Song Blue!
I went into this thinking it was going to be a nice, easy, feel-good movie but that was not quite what I got. It started off like that and I was happily watching along thinking I knew where it was going and then it took a turn. I didn’t realise it was based on a true story either. I may have had a little cry. The performances were brilliant though and just confirms the fact that I love Hugh Jackman! The soundtrack was pretty good too!


Yorkshire Pudding Wrap

This meal was bumped from the weekend to Tuesday and it was worth the wait! It tasted amazing but it was a bit of a faff to make, getting all the timings right. It's not something I will rush to make again but at the same time it's something that I can't stop thinking about.

Spring!
It's the first day of spring today and it has been feeling like spring all week! It's still a little chilly when you are out of the sun but at least the sun is there shining bright! I've had washing out on the line, seeds have been planted, the garden has been tidied and I just feel happier now that winter seems to be almost over. I am saying almost because there'll always be one day, probably over the next week or so, when it's gloomy and chilly out.

What have you loved over the past week?

  8. A good list!! I got excited about Pluribus when you reviewed it, but I hate when I have to wait so long for a new season. I think I'll pass on it until there is another season! Thanks for sharing your favorites with us, Kim! Happy weekend!
