I'm printing ALL of the things at the moment. I'd say the printer will hate me in the next oh, ten to fifteen minutes.

I don't know what the good wife is.

Ha! You're way behind the times. It's an American tv show starring Julianna Margulies as a lawyer? Cheated-on wife? Wife of a senator? I'm not a hundred percent sure. I never watched it, but my sisters and mum did. So I have quite a skewed view of what it's about.

sullivlo

Yeah I've no idea who Julianna Margulies is either.

Greys Anatomy. Suits. How to make a murderer. That's pretty much my fill of TV. Maybe I need to expand my horizons.

She was Nurse Hathaway in ER (was Dr Ross' love interest)

ER. What a show.

The Good Wife is an excellent show as well. Worth checking out on Netflix.

I've taken up spinning as a hobby / form of training. Current training for Galway is 2 X spinning classes a week (1 45 min, 1 1hr30) and a club spin on the weekend (70k next week). Also randomly commute on the bike. Aim is to do Galway and back this year.

But I'm seriously noticing the difference in fitness. I've added 1.6 kph speed on my uphill commute home. I've also dropped a dress size, however it's conversion of fat to muscle. Body fat low!

I love GA, and MAM, never saw Suits. And I loved The Good Wife. Chris Noth is in it as her husband. Series opens where she is a lawyer who became a stay at home mother, husband is states attorney and caught in a big sex and corruption scandal so she's reluctantly standing by him publicly (hence, The Good Wife) But as a result of it, she has to go back into the workforce after 14 years.

Its worth watching the first couple to see if you like it. I'd say you will, if you like Greys.

Oh I also watch house of cards and orange is the new black. Maybe I would like the good wife. Must find time!

Stheno

Hmm I have never heard of half of these, not The Good Wife, House of Cards, Making a Murderer, or Suits.

i tend to watch lots of crime shows like CSI, Special Victims, Without a Trace and Cold Case.

I used watch ER, and liked Greys until recently

I've also never seen SATC

Can highly recommend making a murderer. It's compelling. It's a documentary rather than a TV show. It's about a guy who was wrongly imprisoned for 18 years for a crime he didn't commit, and the he was arrested for murder. The documentary is the court case essentially. 10 1 hour episodes.

I've watched all of OITNB and getting into House of Cards.

I never did watch ER, but if it was on Netflix I'd watch it. SATC was meh, I thought. But I watched all the rest of them and enjoyed them.

I love house of cards

I don't love the murderer one

LenaClaire

I like House of Cards and The Good Wife a lot, I want to start watching OITNB, I keep hearing it is really good.

Oh you poor thing. I was a crying mess after it. It was just so unexpected *tears up*

Epic epic show though. I binged on the show recently and kept forgetting that she wasn't someone I knew in real life

I don't love the murderer one either but it's compulsive viewing. I got so angry!

I'm just strange gave up on it

The only reason to watch SATC is to hate watch it. FU, Carrie - you're the worst.

I too have never seen SATC. I thought that I was the only one!

I watched it back when it was originally broadcast but Carrie made me want to throw the telly out the window. Horrible, horrible character.
I don't watch many series now because I don't have a huge amount of time, I'll only commit to a series that really grabs me, and as I'm in France, I'll only watch an English language series if I can get it in English, not dubbed (ugh).
Recently I've been enjoying a French detective series called Cherif. It's really well done, the main characters are super charismatic and I love the music. I suppose it'll never be shown in Ireland though.

Have you been watching Spin? It's being plugged loads over here. It's a French language drama about politics. Saw a bit and it was decent looking.

Yeah it's pretty good!
Les Temoins (The witnesses) was a good one from last year too.

I think I saw the first episode of that. Was it a detective series involving

dead people being dug up from their graves

?

Finished season 5 last night. Gonna take a wee break and get back to reading before starting season 6 because it's in danger of derailing my 52 books in 2016 programme.

Oh, the problems I have...

Happy Friday lads and lassies

I went into town today to buy jewellery making bits after getting a notion at 3am. I couldn't get everything I needed so I'll just order it all online. I've always lie jewellery, but analysis paralysis has stopped me from buying anything. What if there's a nicer more suitable piece around the corner? Anyway,I saw a beautiful piece last night and it's the kind of thing you could make yourself with a bit of practice. So now I'm motivated. Create my own pieces.

Edit: This was the piece. Obviously she has a lot of skill to make it, but this is the kind of thing that's possible with the type of jewellery making I'd be going for.

Just FYI, I'm watching the current season of The Good Wife and it's pretty good. I think it might be the last season, though.

Does anyone else here watch Pretty Little Liars? Or am I the only pseudo-teenage girl here?!

Happy Friday IWMD

Absolutely gorgeous morning here - would love to get out for a nice walk rather than be at my desk, but c'est la vie...

Brunch with my antenatal class group tomorrow and thinking about baking something tonight, any suggestions?

So many delicious things I would definitely bake right now, if I wasn't try to behave myself...

Lemon Pistachio Cookies

Salted Caramel Brownies

(Healthier looking) "Ferrero Rocher" Cake with "Nutella" Icing

Cookie Dough Cheesecake

I've actually made these triple-chocolate cookies - so good!

Yes I watch it. I don't like the New Series so far though. To be honest I think they are dragging it out. I think the series should have been over once A was revealed.

Mars bar treats from the Cooking Club, in fact I might make them myself this weekend

I ran out of steam about halfway through. I felt they really dragged it out.

I just made them as a surprise for the OH (so hopefully he doesn't see this)! Except I burned the chocolate topping and had to spend €13 replacing the chocolate I'd used (including the bar I'd stolen.) Next time I'm just buying him a cheap cake!

We're having a bake sale fundraiser in work on Monday so my weekend will be spent in the kitchen.

I sleepily typed in Amadan.co.uk in my address bar this morning instead of Amazon.co.uk.

It's like something my mam would mispronounce
"What? ya paid HOW MUCH for that?? Offa Amadán was it?? Well. I know why they call it Amadán so!!

Having a dream of a day - lady pottering away after a massive lie-in, buckets of tea, I made cake on Friday so picking at that whenever the notion takes me, pancake batter is just sitting there waiting to be turned into pancakes and himself is about to grill some rashers. Oh and listening to Motown classics all day with little bits of gangsta rap thrown in.

Oh that's totally normal, we called it post-thesis slump! Sometimes you even get a bit depressed, wondering "What now? That's it?"
Took me a good while to recover after I submitted my phd.
