    A good week for you and especially so your evening at the theatre. I'm looking forward to the Sewing Bee, mustn't forget it's on although hubby did tell me it clashes with something but I can't remember what but Sewing Bee will win :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

      The theatre trip was definitely the highlight of the week. GBSB is on at the same time as the Downton Abbey film so I may watch the sewing bee on catch up. Hope you have a good rest of the weekend too xx

    Another wonderful week with lots of good things to be cheerful and grateful about! Wow! Wordle in Italian! I'm impressed! I can barely get it done in English! :D

      I'm doing better than I thought with the Italian Wordle. It seems I know more five letter Italian words than I thought I did but it is definitely more challenging than the English version for me ... good fun though and a nice way of reinforcing my learning. xx

    This week is the last episode of Maestros de la costura (our Sewing Bee here) for this season. I'll miss it because I really enjoy watching it.

    I also like playing Wordle both in Spanish and English. Apart from the 5-letters word version, we also have the scientific word and the written accent versions in Spanish and we can even create our own Wordle to share with friends. A lot of fun!

    Tomorrow we are back to school after the Easter break, the first day without mandatory face masks indoors although I'm keeping mine for a bit longer. Let's hope everything goes well.

    Have a nice week! :)

      If it's like the British Sewing Bee I can understand why you'll miss it. It's about the only series I follow.

      I have the written accents version for Italian but don't do too well on that - I don't know enough words!

      Good luck with the return to school. The lack of masks indoors stresses me out. I'm with you and still continue to wear mine. xx

    I'm so pleased that the Sewing Bee is back. I love shows like Throw down and Sewing Bee much more than Bake off nowadays. The did something similar withy allotments at one point, I vaguely remember, but it didn't work quite so well. I'd love one on country crafts too.

      I'd completely forgotten about Throw Down! I've never followed an entire series of Bake Off but couldn't really say why it didn't appeal to me. I don't remember an allotments one at all but maybe it didn't work as well because of the time it takes things to grow, assuming it was following the same format with weekly challenges etc. xx
