I'm taking part in the Wednesday Hodgepodge, kindly hosted by Joyce at From this side of the Pond
Pop over there to see who else is joining in the fun.1. Have you done more binge watching this past year than in 'normal' years? Any plans to break that habit in 2021? Tell us one or two shows you binged last year that you really liked.
I probably have watched more TV but not really in binge sessions. I've watched various drama series such as Line of Duty and Strictly Come Dancing was a must watch for me. Recently though Hubby has got more into watching things on Netflix on the main TV so I haven't been watching as much TV at all.
2. January 26th is Australia Day. Have you ever visited or lived in Australia? Have you ever tasted Vegemite, and if so what did you think? Is a trip down under on your bucket list? We answered a question about travel three months ago (the October 21st Hodgepodge), but let's revisit now...where are you when it comes to planning or even imagining travel this year?
I have been to Australia! We went back in 2017 with Grandson Nathan and his Mummies. He was only 7 months old at the time so it was quite challenging. I'm guessing Vegemite is much like Marmite which you either love or hate. I hate lol.
As for current travel plans - that would be a big NONE at the moment.
3. Something that zaps your energy? Something that energizes you?
Grandsitting definitely zaps my energy. Especially the really little ones. After a day at my daughter's I just want to chill in front of the TV.
Going for a walk in the fresh air energizes me.
4. On a scale of 1-10 what are your eating habits like these days? (1=all junk food all the time and 10= juicing every green thing in the frig) Healthiest meal you've eaten in the last week or so?
Our eating habits are generally ok so we're probably a 6 or 7. We tend to make most of our meals rather than use ready made/processed things, although we do use Hello Fresh for some meals but not every week. We are definitely eating more chocolate though. In the first lockdown we had chocolate if we'd gone out for a walk now in our 3rd lockdown we have the chocolate anyway!
Our healthiest meal recently was probably a Vienamese pork dish that was yummy even if hubby did forget to put the sugar in!
5. What's your most often 'Back in my day....' thing to say?
That's not something I often find myself saying.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I'm very glad of being able to get cheap or free books to my Kindle during this 3rd lockdown. Our local library is closed as are bookshops.
Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteI remember you sharing your trip to Australia with us. I enjoyed tagging along in blog land as you shared.
I can immagine that the grandmother job is exhausting especially at that age ! I had never to do it as son and DIL were afraid that we would kill poor Toby ! Not even her mother had the right to babysit !
ReplyDeleteI too have no travel intentions far too complicated ! But I hope that it's back to nearly normal by November to go to Egypt ! I would need it so much. Vaccination goes on slowly, just 100000 done ! Although we are only a little more than 11 million inhabitants, if they continue their snail vaccination maybe we will have finished in 3 years !!
Nothing makes me happier than getting a good deal on a Kindle book. Have a wonderful week, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteWhat would we do without our kindles??
ReplyDeleteGrand-sitting is exhausting when they're little. Much more fun when they are older and you can get them out on a walk and they are walking, too (just got in from a walk with New Boy).
Our library is open, but everything gets returned to the bookdrop and is not reshelved for several days. There are no fines for late returns because of this. I think you can request curbside pick up for items on hold too. I've been reading some of the free books I've loaded this year via Amazon Prime. Mysteries mostly that keep me engaged but don't stress me out : ) Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy using our library for downloading e-books as well as audiobooks.
ReplyDeleteI get free books on my Kindle too, through Bookbub.com I enjoyed your post, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteAnother lockdown....UGH. I had trouble answering the question about "back in the day" as well.
