As you know I am not big on watching the news, however I do read the headlines on The Daily Telegraph to just see what is happening.  Most of the time it is so depressing however yesterday the headlines were a shock!

The foundations of Windsor Castle must be rocking after yesterday’s news headlines of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, an offence which if found guilty carries the sentence of life in prison!  A lot of the news is just depressing but this is playing out like a soap opera. I am sure this is how our Parents and Grandparents felt when King Edward the VIII abdicated so that he could marry Wallis Simpson, a Constitutional crisis.  I am sure all this is going to be a Netflix film when the dust settles!

I am going through another one of those periods where I am waking up anywhere between 2.00am and 4.00am!  I do the same thing most days, eat more or less the same things so why one night I can sleep through without waking up and yet another period I am waking up at stupid o’clock is beyond me.  However speaking to my friends I am not alone in this!  Anyhoo I was awake at 2.00am today and I was wide awake so I got up and cleaned our home from top to bottom, before they all got up including the animals!  It was quite peaceful really.  I put an audio book on and I was off and do you know, it seemed a lot easier to clean at that time of day then during normal hours!!!!  As you can tell from the picture above Coco did not even bother getting up when I left our room!!!

I have a few other home jobs to get done over the weekend and the washing & Ironing, although I have done one load already this week.  I am trying to get up to date with everything before my eye op on Monday!  One of our customers has had the same Op and he said he was fine although it was a nuisance doing the head down bit for the first five days but he is fine now!  I will be really looking forward to a week on Monday!

Book Club Friday – Jayne and I had lunch on Tuesday and we have a new book to read for our Cosy Girl’s Book Club:

For those of you who follow me will know I have been reading Jane Bettany’s books and they are in the Cosy Mystery section of the bookshops.  They really are very good.  The characters are good and you learn a bit about them without getting bogged down and the stories do move through the book very well, with good conclusions.  Very Agatha Christie based so if you like her books I am sure you will like these.  I will let you know how we get on.

This is what I am also reading.  Poppy Greer is getting married and has four of her old school friends as her Bridesmaids.  Poppy gives all four of them a first class flight to a private Caribbean Island for a luxurious stay for  her Hen Party, however the women underestimated their host and each other and secrets from their past surface and the trip of a lifetime becomes the hen do from hell!  

I thought this sounded quite good.  It is a paperback and only 340 pages long so I think it will be a quick read.  I started it today whilst I was having my hair cut!

I hope you lovely lot have a fantastic weekend and are able to get some time to read and relax. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
