Animal Crossing Update

Image
 My island is officially 5 stars, I found out by seeing a Lilly of the valley plant on my cliftop and trust me I couldn't run to resident services quick enough. I now have 2 Lilly of the Valley plants and several gold roses. I only need blue roses, I followed a video from Animal Crossing youtuber and streamer Dazzabound as his video had a quick method that is easy to follow so I am following the steps I have my seed reds and purples together and I have gotten several pinks to go along side my seed yellows so I am now waiting for hybrid reds from the pink and yellow pairings then I can move onto the next step. I think I am now ready to let some of my villagers go this is will only happen once I have their photograph.  I currently have 2 normal villagers, 2 jock villagers, 1 snooty villager, 1 peppy villager, 1 lazy villager, 1 smug villager and 2 sisterly villagers.  Normal Villagers - Nan (Goat) + Eunice (Sheep) I know I will not be getting rid of Eunice however I am on t...

 Mary Berry Recipe For Life  Rating- 5/5  Review- I cannot say enough good things about this book, I absolutely loved it. I struggled to put this book down so much so that I missed my bus stop on several occasions as I was to busy reading this book. I felt the same feels I did when reading Andrew Lloyd Webbers book Unmasked which says something as that is my favourite book to date. I am a Mary Berry fan so I already went into reading this book knowing I would  like it to some degree but I had no idea how much. I gave this book 5 out of 5 because I really enjoyed it and struggled to put it down.  Giles and Mary- The Diary Of Two Nobodies  Rating- 4/5  Review- I love Gogglebox it is a show that will get you through any lockdown trust me. I loved this book however not as much as Mary Berry but still I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a funny book that also gave a interesting insight into how Googlebox works from a couples point of view. I would recommend thi...

Riverdale Season 5- Theories

 It's back finally after what has felt like a lifetime. I will be discussing who I think is behind the video tapes and why I think it could that said person.  1. Charles and Chic  This seems like the most obvious choice given the scenes in previous episodes of season 4 and the storylines left unfinished. From memory every storyline has been dealt with besides the Barchie kiss of season 4, video tape storyline of season 4 and the chic storyline of season 2 to some degree. This is where my thoughts begin we now that Charles and Chic are dating from a scene in 4x06 Hereditary, this episode I think is where suspicions started to occur. Charles knows where the body is buried so it could have something to do with that however I think this is unlikely I think the main reason why he could have the means to carry out such an operation is his job working for the FBI this means he will have access to recording equipment of a high standard. He is most certainly not doing this alone, ...

Lockdown Week 1

 05/01/2021 I have spent the day fueled by anxiety. Now I know yesterday's message was we meet again and get through this. I just felt this sickness anxiety feeling it normally happens on the day or major C word anoucement however  I re-visited a old tv favourite My Family the entire box set is on BBC Iplayer and during my busy day fuelled by lectures, seminars and Uni assignments its been rather stress relieving having some lighthearted back ground noise. I have struggled sleeping if that's even possible I take ages to get to sleep and then I wake up at noon strange. I set alarms for earlier so I don't feel like I lost the majority of the day but I then feel tired.  An animal crossing update for you all I have used a nook miles ticket to get some more coconuts and planted them on my beaches around my island this will help fill in some gaps on my beaches saving me from putting to put furniture in those areas. On the subject of beaches I have a sauna style bathtub and I ha...

Lockdown 3.0

 Here we go again Lockdown 3, in my view it was a long time coming but as Len Goodman's autobiography title says Better Late Than Never. We all need to do out bit now more than ever to Stay At Home, Protect The NHS and Save Lives. I am going to use this third lockdown to my advantage by setting short term and possibly long term goals for the months ahead.  1. Get my Aminal Crossing new horizon's island to 5 stars  I am currently at 4 stars to get there I have planted a variety of flowers both basic and hybrid  Placed fencing around all of my villagers houses my villages are Cobb (Pig), Phoebe (Orsritch), Opal (Elephant), Mott (Lion), Mira (Rabbit), Sherb (Goat), Lopez (Deer), Nan (Goat), Eunice (Sheep) and Anicotti (Mouse). I have used variety of fencing options hedges, imperial fencing and the wooden fencing that Ton Nook gives you.  Cleaned up my island this includes rocks, excess fruit from trees and weeds. I have seen from twitch streamers that sticks do not...

 Graham Norton- The Life and Loves of a He Devil  Rating- 4/5  I did enjoy this book however it took a while for me to get into it, but it did get better. I did really like this book and I would re read it as I liked Grahams writing style for me a good book is a book I can read in the authors voice and that was the case with this book. I overall enjoyed this book, it was one of the more funnier books I have read. I gave this book 4 out of 5 as I found it really funny and I could read it in the authors voice however it took me a while to get into it.  Jennifer Saunders- Bonkers  Rating- 5/5  I very much enjoyed this book, it was a very easy read another read that I struggled to put down. Like the previous book I could read it in the authors voice. I enjoy reading books about comedy actresses most likely because I have watched the majority of TV shows she has been in. This book also talked about her comedy partner Dawn French, her book might be next on my to ...

 The Life Of Rylan- Rylan Clark Neal  Rating - 3/5  Review- I loved this book but there is a reason why I only gave it 3 out of 5 it was 4 out of 5 for the content itself however the quality of the book was a little odd the plastic layer that protects the colouring underneath started pulling away now I did just patch this up with some tape, I bought this book like the others from previous posts from Waterstones so I don't know if it was a Waterstones thing or I just got a dodgy copy but the cover aside I really enjoyed this book, more so the chapters about The X Factor I have watched several seasons of and I have seen a live tapping of the result show the year Matt Terry won. These chapters gave a different insight to the show and what goes on behind the scenes, the other book in this post talks about X Factor from a judges point of view which was also interesting to read. I loved this book it was nice to see how much Rylan had changed in the public eye since the early X ...
