I've been on holiday! Like a proper holiday with sun and a beach. Did a lot of cycling on the tiny island of Formentera (just off the coast of Ibiza) and sunbathing. Also ate lots of paella and used my shop-talk Spanish to great effect. Before leaving I decided that I want to do more cycling, practice my Spanish and learn more about stargazing. Sometimes I forget to do anything or make plans or get excited. I want to do more and be more... And now it's written down so I won't forget!
Also this month I ended up watching The Circle on Channel 4. I can see this reality show format (social media meets Big Brother) becoming quite a big thing. For now though there's a weird alchemy going on as the production team and the contestants feel their way through this new format and game and it just feels electric and engrossing. Then again maybe I've become so attuned to crap reality TV I've been blindsided somewhat. Who knows! I like it though.

We watched First Dates in Spanish on holiday (never managed a full episode due to extensive channel hopping which is why it's not on my list). It's identical to the Ch4 production except I could only understand slivers of conversation - this vastly improved the programme.
