Life


After three weeks of getting notified I had a low risk of getting Covid-19 (because pupils tested positive), I had a first weekend where nothing happened. I did have a break and the government decided to add another week to this break in hopes the numbers will decrease. I did have a lovely time reading and relaxing this week, I needed it after those busy weeks.


Blog and books




I liked Mexican Gothic but I enjoyed Rebecca more. I bought my copy of the latter in a second-hand bookshop in Girona, Spain, a couple of years ago. It has been on my to read list for ages and I'm so happy I finally read it. Hoping to watch the film soon as well, although I hear the ending has changed.


Movies and TV Shows



This week I watched two films The Shining and Jojo Rabbit, I had fun watching both. Jojo Rabbit is truly amazing and one of my favourite films this year.



I also started and finished the stunning Netflix show The Queen's Gambit, I now want to play a game of chess.

Life


It seems like I always get bad news on Saturday, these days. Yesterday, I was once again notified that I have a low risk of getting Covid-19, this time because not one but two of my pupils tested positive last week. This is getting old and annoying really fast, I still live with my family and have other at risk family members. Luckily, I'm on a break now.

Blog and books



I finally finished The Bird's Nest by Shirley Jackson and I truly enjoyed it! I also listened to about 70% of Educated by Tara Westover. Today, I started Mexican Gothic, because I'm in the mood to read a horror or thriller novel.


Movies and TV Shows



I watched Psycho (for the first time) last night and although I heard a spoiler about the ending, I still really enjoyed it. I'm in the mood to watch some more Hitchcock right now. Do you like his movies?
