Picking myself back up again

OK, so I have been lazy getting back into blogging. Thanks for the advice in your comments. I will endeavour to keep blogging. I should have more time on my hands what with the summer holidays to get through. I have been a little down lately. I have just put myself on the NHS waiting list for surgery to remove my gallbladder. Its a really minor procedure that just needs to be done.

I am trying to be positive and I am getting myself all psyched up for the Race for Life. Please sponsor me if you can http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/jaysicamarvell2102.

Oh and looks like I'm going to come out of the closet and reveal my identity. I think I am brave enough now.

I am still watching plenty of TV, have had time to watch all kinds of it. I will probably blog about it tomorrow.

Tonight I will be catching up with Torchwood: Children of Earth as the fourth series Miracle day has already started.

What are you watching tonight?

Back again! More about tv, anyone?

OK, so I am trying really hard to keep blogging and not give up just because I only have 6 followers. These things take time, and I am willing to wait. I have been so busy anyway, family visiting, my daughter's fourth birthday, my ten year anniversary, a massive barbecue this weekend and preparing for my trip with my husband to Bath for our first time away on our own for a whole weekend without the kids!

Enough about me, I want to write more about the television viewing I have managed to squeeze in over the last few days. There was another episode of Mildred Pierce on Saturday.

 It was a difficult one to watch as she goes through the motions of her divorce and the tragedy of death. Kate Winslet obviously brings a lot of herself into this character. When she breaks down while discussing her divorce with her husband the pain on her face is so real. So I can see this series starting to get better already.

I am still not convinced by the actress playing her older daughter Veda, I'd rather they speed it along until she is replaced by Evan Rachel Wood.

I am also watching a new series on TV called the Talk. Looks exactly like Loose Women which is also based on Barbara Walter's original show, The View. We've never been able to watch the view over here in England which is an absolute shame. Loose Women is ok if you watch loads of soaps and love celebrity news but seriously I would like something with a bit more to chew on. The View has been notorious for its political banter and they have really impressed me with the topics they talk about. We need something like that, where its like The Wright Stuff but with only women! I'm pretty sure British women aren't as thick as what's represented by the lousy demographic on Loose Women!

I'm looking forward to watching some more Felicity later, reminiscing about the 90's and my student days while I catch up on my ironing. So what are you watching at the moment? I'd love my new blogger friends to post something about what they love watching on TV. Call it research. Tell me what you want to see a drama about that no-one else has done yet!
