I ‘m watching Pride and Prejudice Zombies as I am writing this. I don’t know why I never watched it sooner because I like it! I sometimes get pissed when they remake a classic, so I tend to avoid them out of spite. I am rapidly running out of things to watch though, so I thought I would give it a shot.

The line-up at Zara today was an hour long wait for me to return the jacket and jeans that I bought from the sale. The jacket didn’t have a lining and I intended it for a fall jacket. You need a lining in your jacket here in the fall so it was just a waste of money. I ended up ordering this blazer instead for the same price. I have had this in my shopping basket for around 7 months, and when they further reduced it at the sale I grabbed it. I also exchanged the jeans for the same cut but in the lighter wash, I like the look better.

I read that thousands of people showed up at Stonehenge for the summer solstice yesterday. I am officially adding that to my bucket list. It seems to be growing way faster than it is getting crossed off, I hope I can change that this year.

I caught up on The Handmaid’s Tale this week and holy shit I should have waited until all the episodes were out for this season. They keep ending the episodes in super intense and powerful spots and it’s going to drive me nuts. Do you watch it? I love the soundtrack. When they play an incredible song at the very end while something huge is taking place it’s so good.

The Zara sale started last night at midnight and there is some really good stuff on there. I can’t wait for autumn/winter though because that’s when every retailer brings out the big guns. It’s such my favourite season to shop. I have this in my basket right now that I am debating about. I’d like a fall jacket with a hood. I was going to buy it when it was full price so I probably should grab it before it’s gone right?

I worked out 4 time this week, and on the day I didn’t exercise we managed to all 10,000 steps (and discovered a new park) so high-five for me 😉 In reality this should have been a habit for me for at least the last 10 years. I remember after Roo was born I was determined to get on a work out regime and got suckered in to buying several Beach Body infomercial workouts. It was the mid 2000s so online workout videos weren’t really a thing. It was either the gym or DVD’s. Since I abhor the gym, DVD’s it was. I think my first two were Windsor Pilates, and Yoga Booty Ballet. I saw zero results from either but I guarantee if I would have got myself in to a better routine and exercise habit 13 years ago, then I wouldn’t be having this much difficulty today.

June is Pride month and a lot of retailers are putting out clothing. I included a few of them above just in case you are looking for something to wear to show your support.

It’s a long weekend here for Victoria Day on Monday which is actually to commemorate Queen Victoria’s birthday but has turned in to the unofficial start of summer and probably the biggest drinking weekend of the year. So happy May two-four weekend, the nickname it was lovingly given after a 24 case of beer.

My mom told me that they sell Mac computers and laptops on The Shopping Channel which surprised me. It is also extremely tempting because I would like a laptop, and can get one by paying 12 monthly instalments which makes it actually a realistic option. It’s super tempting, but maybe I’ll wait and see what I owe for taxes first. I’m really dreading that phone call.
