My TV Highlights of 2020

2020 was definitely a year that heavily utilised our Netflix/Amazon Prime subscriptions. This year’s lockdown meant that we binged more telly than we usually would, resulting in trying out new shows and in my case, returning to some old, comforting favourites. This time last year, I put together a round-up of my favourite TV moments … Continue reading My TV Highlights of 2020

Ten of My Favourite Parks & Recreation Moments

November 16, 2020November 16, 2020 ~ amymayj ~ 4 Comments

We were very late to the party discovering Parks & Recreation. It was a show that we only discovered about two years ago, and as two people that were used to the classic sitcom set-up, it was certainly strange getting used to the mockumentary style the show is set in. Despite that, it’s since become … Continue reading Ten of My Favourite Parks & Recreation Moments

The Best Podcasts to Listen To Right Now: My Four Top Picks

April 23, 2020June 20, 2020 ~ amymayj ~ 17 Comments

I was very late to the party with podcasts in that I didn’t start listening to them until about 2 years ago. Podcasts became a firm fixture on our morning commutes once I started my job working in Bath, making the 30-40 minute trip each way a little more bearable. Given the current situation (the … Continue reading The Best Podcasts to Listen To Right Now: My Four Top Picks

March 2020 Wrap Up

April 16, 2020June 19, 2020 ~ amymayj ~ 9 Comments

Well, better late than never. Things are a little late with my March wrap up given that I took a bit of a blogging break given the old Corona situation. Let’s be honest, when it comes to what’s happened in March, it’s all been a bit shit. The beginning of March didn’t seem too bad, … Continue reading March 2020 Wrap Up

One thing that my husband and I are known for is our love for stand up comedy.

I can’t believe we’re officially coming to the end of 2019. It only feels like yesterday I was writing my 2018 in Review post, which just so happened to be my first ever post on Sassy Cat Lady. It’s so cliche to say that the time has flown by, but it really has done this … Continue reading 2019 in Review

My TV Highlights of 2019

December 26, 2019May 12, 2020 ~ amymayj ~ 16 Comments

2019 was definitely the year that we branched out in terms of telly. Normally, we stick to our usual boxsets and reruns, but this year we went for quite a few new bits. Well, it wasn’t exactly new new, but it was stuff we haven’t seen before, which I’m counting as new. So, as we’re … Continue reading My TV Highlights of 2019

Last year, I really got back into reading. I’m not entirely sure what stopped me in the first place, but I soon discovered that it was a great outlet for my anxiety. Over time I began to wrack up a long list of titles that I wanted to read, and I figured that I really … Continue reading 6 Reads in 6 Months: January to June 2019
