So, I know I said I would try to do these every week, but I have been sick for the last few weeks so have just not done any of anything recently. This week, however, is different, I am feeling much better now and I’m now going to try to get back into these.

Reading

My reading has slowed right down while I’ve been sick. I was finding myself too tired to read anything, but this last week, I’ve been reading a little bit each morning, and I am hopeful to finish this book in the next week; if I knuckle down and actually read. I have been thoroughly enjoying it though - for those who haven’t checked my bookcave, I’m currently reading Foundation by Isaac Asimov.

Gaming

Over the weekend, I have done a variety of stuff. I did a flight in the Airbus A330 MRTT - Voyager in RAF Service, a 2 hour flight from Los Angeles International to Colorado Springs in the RAF VIP Vespina livery.

And a lovely hour long CH47 Chinook HC6 flight out of Los Angeles Intl flying over Downtown LA to Pasadena, landing at Caltech then doing some circles over Caltech and North Los Robles Avenue (TBBT addicts like myself will understand this), before flying back over Downtown LA, over Santa Monica beach along the coast to Malibu, a couple of circles round Malibu then south over the water to head into a short parallel track before turning onto the runway.

Writing

As with my reading, I haven’t done much writing while I’ve been ill, I have done a little bit here and there on my novel project but not too much, and I really need to get back into that one. I haven’t written anything for my blog for a few weeks… apart from this one of course. Which I hope to change in the near future.

Listening

I have listened to a bit of music here and there on YouTube but nothing major to note. I still haven’t gotten around to listening to podcasts while I’m writing because I haven’t done any writing to listen to podcasts while doing 😆.

Watching

I haven’t watched a lot of YouTube this week, again because I’ve been ill but I have been enjoying watching The Big Bang Theory (on DVD) since Netflix decided to remove majority of the Star Trek series, including TOS and TNG - which I was in the middle of watching. I have been enjoying watching TBBT again, it feels like so long since I last watched it. I am now into season 2 and find myself laughing over and over.

Other Stuff

Nothing much else of note this week. The biggest thing at work was that I went on my first school trip as a member of staff, which was interesting. But again, nothing much happened because I’ve been feeling pretty rotten since Boxing Day.

I’ve been taking a break from the internet for the last week, and I think that it’ll probably be another week before I get back online. I am thinking of writing a blog post about my break, but with it being for personal reasons, I’m not 100% on publishing it.

Conclusion

A reasonably normal week, just getting back into the flow of things after being unwell. I’m still coughing a fair amount but I feel generally better. Next week, I hope to be able to write a lot more about things I do, as I think I’ll get more done (fingers crossed).

And that’s it for this week, again apologies for doing one week then not doing any more since then. I have missed 2 weeks, but I am hoping to kickstart my weekly writing once again. Hope you enjoyed reading and I’ll catch you in the next one. BYEEE!!!
