🙏 Sunday Reflection | 23rd January 2022 🥳

Hello everyone and a blessed Sunday to you all! 🙏 I hope this post finds you all well. Another bitterly cold week has flown by and now it is time to reflect on what we’ve been doing, reading, and watching over that time.

This week, work has continued to be a tough and busy blur of lessons, daily testing and cold weather, but thankfully, less staff absence! There was also my birthday to celebrate, with a bagful of treats to take into work; of an evening, friends came over and a Chinese takeaway; and the follow day a trip to the cinema. 🥳

From Wednesday onwards though, I was back to just getting myself home, fed and into bed early with a hot water bottle, a mug of warming ‘moon latte’ and my cat. This included a quiet weekend at home, only popping out to do the food shop and have roast lunch at my grandad’s. 🏡

Unfortunately, I have continued to make slow progress with my current read: the dual-narrative historical-fiction, The Lost Diary of Venice by Margaux Deroux (2020), in which we have been able to explore late Renaissance Venice, through the eyes of the artist, Giovanni Lomazzo. No reflection on the book though, I am really enjoying it, just not been up for reading much. 🖼

However, before bed most nights, I have been able to dip into my Holy Bible and my beautiful new book, Celtic Daily Prayer: Book One by the Northumbria Community (2015), which I am hoping to get into a routine with to improve my scripture reading and prayer life. ✝

As for my viewing, it has again mostly been some of my favourite Youtubers and I have carried on with my enjoyable re-watch of series two of the British supernatural drama, A Discovery of Witches (2018-2022). This is so I am fully prepared to watch the third and final series, recently released on Sky/NOW TV, which I am excited to start, not long now! 🧙‍♀️

On Tuesday though, as part of my birthday celebrations, I went with my dad and family friends to the cinema to see the superhero film, Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). I haven’t been a big fan of the newer Tom Holland era Spider-Man films, however this was great fun, not perfect, but fun; with a lot of nostalgia and reminded me of what Marvel films used to be like. 🕷

In addition, back home, I have enjoyed a comforting re-watch of the family fantasy adventure, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011); which finished off my re-watch of the whole series off, that I kicked off in  the holidays. 🧙‍♂️

Finally, last but not least, here are the posts and reviews I shared with you over the last week:
