10. Cleaning House - Bingo Style!
The Case of the Tidying Tenant
Hello, friend! How was your week? I got you some flowers to help brighten up your weekend. I’ll keep them at my house though, so it doesn’t get weird. Hope you managed to do all you wanted to this week, and took the time to pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
Fishbird Catch of the Week
We post twice a week (Wednesday & Saturday) on the Fishbird Central blog. This week’s catch included:
Kindle Chaos: The Case of the Unread EBook
Nothing will ever replace the feeling of reading the physical copy of a book, but e-readers are fantastic for storing lots of titles without hogging up space. The tricksy part is, remembering to read the books you have on your Kindle. It can sometimes be a matter of ‘out of sight, out of mind’. In this post we take stock of our digital literary clutter - 44 books to read!
Carolynne’s Cottages - Naracoorte, South Australia
In March 2024, as part of our yearly road trip - we stayed 2 nights at Carolynne’s Cottages in Naracoorte South Australia! We loved it and definitely recommend if you’re in the area. Check out our review, and when you’re next in Naracoorte, say hi to the dinosaur sheep for us!
Let’s Clean House
We have a rental inspection this coming week, so it’s been all vacuums blazing to get the house clean and tidy for old Snoops Malone. I assume that’s the owner’s name.
Very few people *like* cleaning, so to jazz up the process a little we made a Cleaning Bingo Board to help chip away at the chores. Feel free to save a copy and test it out next time you have friends or family coming over - or when you just need to get in and clean up yo’ filth.
In no time at all you’ll have a clean house, a freshly de-cheesed oven AND a nice tan, an iced coffee and a new book. Cleaning has never felt so relaxing!
Quick Fire Wrap Up
Currently Reading: ‘Kernel of Truth’ by Kristi Abbott (Amazon Affiliate Link). This is Book One in the Popcorn Shop Mystery series. A cosy crime series that I mostly picked up because of the dog on the cover. Look at his tube legs!
Currently Watching: ‘The Rookie’ on Netflix, staring Nathan Fillion. Yes, I’m still watching this - probably should do some other human activities too but … you know. I’m on to Season 3, and really enjoying it. Loving the guest stars from the Joss Whedonverse (Felicia Day, Alan Tudyk & Seth Green). I’m locked and loaded to watch all 5 Seasons on Netflix.
Currently Wondering: How many cans of Coke (no sugar) can I stock in our fridge at home without it looking like I run my own cafe? I’m sure we’re in all agreement that caffeine is really good for you, and brown drinks are the best. Thanks, team.
Wishes for the Week
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead, friend!
Word on the street is that there’s a cold snap on the way. Time to break out the fingerless gloves, beanies and hoodies. Stay warm, stay hydrated (cola counts) and believe in yourself. This is going to be an amazing week!
Stay cool, punks.
