I saw the Fringe Festival show “My Greatest Period Ever” – I was crowned PMS Queen.
An abridged version of the show can be viewed here:

I finished listening to the long, slow-burning crime fiction book “The Wych Elm” by Tana French. 
The audio version was fantastic, with lots of regional Irish accents narrated so well.

I'm going to be reading Say Hello by Carly Findlay
