TV Shows watched
- Holey Moley S1-2 - Our fun silly show!
- Broadchurch S3 - I was a little disappointed in the resolution of the storyline.
- Cosmos S2 - Oh so good.
- Battlestar Galactica S1 - As we finished Broadchurch, J had me start this show.
- Below Deck S5-6
Comments - Holy cow! Still powering through books while social distancing. I need to do better at reading my own books (my constant refrain), but I’m excited about all the books I’ve been reading.
