Sunday Stealing is FAB

 I'm finally home from Darwin. I've had very little sleep, although the flights were fine and there were spare seats next to me on both flights. 

And I have a very happy cat at home. He's come back a little skinnier - thanks to a self-imposed hunger strike. But he was fed and talked to and even if he didn't like it, he's home - although he started howling when I went downstairs to collect my Uber Eats. I'll be going to bed soon. I don't like feeling like a zombie. 

Questions have been provided by Sunday Stealing. 

F. Film: What movie or tv show are you watching? 

At this very moment in time, I'm watching some old episodes of Smallville - as I'm a bit zombiefied from last night's travel, it's an easy distraction. 

Other things I'm actively watching include The Summer I Turned Pretty (Prime), Dying for Sex (Disney), Outrageous (BritBox) and My Life with the Walter Boys (Netflix). Nothing challenging. There's too much going on around here at the moment. 

For films, the last ones I've seen were this queer, Welsh musical I saw at the Deckchair Cinema in Darwin. Chuck Chuck Baby it was called and it was fabulous. 

I started watching something called The Friend on the plane. I'll need to hunt it out. It had Naomi Watts and a very large Great Dane in it. Very good film. 

A. Audio: What are you listening to?

I'm an avid audiobook listener, but the one I listened to didn't float my boat. It was the novel of Wicked by Gregory Maguire. I don't rate it. 

I'm currently listening to Marian Keyes Grown Ups - not one of her better ones. 

I'm also dabbling with a podcast about a notorious trial we have going on here. She's known as the Mushroom Lady - she poisoned three of her in-laws withe Death Cap mushrooms. It's been a sensation. It's her sentencing this week. Public consensus says she'll get at least three consecutive life sentences - but the case is fascinating. A real "how-not-to-get-away-with-Murder" story. 

B. Book: What are you reading?

I've got two books on the go. The first is The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. It's okay, but that's about it. 

The second is a book by Gail Jones called A Guide to Berlin. I started it, then worked out that there were a lot of themes around Nabokov and Lolita. I have read Lolita in between times, so I'm starting this over again. And Lolita is an amazing book - thematically ghastly, but the writing is amazing.
