This week I have been watching Agent Carter on Amazon Prime, it focuses on the character of Peggy Carter following the movie Captain America: The First Avenger. I liked season 1. It had a direct connection to the Captain America movie and worked well as kind of a continuation although some time had passed since the events at the end.

Season 2 is ok but not as good as the first. The plot was far too generic for my taste. Conspiracies, a mad scientist that wants to achieve power, the Italian mobster - it's all bit cliche and the stories have been done in many other shows. It's still entertaining though, and Hayley Atwell is stunning. My favorite character is Jarvis played brilliantly by James D´Arcy. Explains a lot about the virtual Jarvis character in Iron Man.

I would have liked a third season, the proper formation of SHIELD out of the SSR and building a proper bridge to Agents of SHIELD.

Things at Home: 3 humans, 2 cats. All is well.

Frankie currently wants to try every new food she sees, it's a lot of fun and so far there's very little she doesn't like. She also really loves singing, jumping and counting. I have learned The Very Hungry Caterpillar by heart - it's her current favourite book.

Rob, unfortunately, is super stressed right now. His team have a new manager, brought in externally who doesn't know the team, the work or the company and she's trying to micromanage them. At this rate, she's not going to have a team to manage because half of them have already threatened to quit and two have gone off sick!

Hi all

Sorry for disappearing on you - I've been in the hospital for a couple of weeks and recovering at home for another couple. I'm still not feeling 100% but I'm doing better than I have been.

Rob's parents have been amazing looking after Frankie for me - she's still with them this week and I miss her like crazy. They visit every day though and hopefully, she should be coming home next week, we'll see how I'm doing at the weekend.

This is the first time I've turned on my laptop in a while, it's installed a bunch of updates and now I'm working on catching up on my emails and social media and stuff. I've got a little nest made up on my couch, Rob's made sure I've got drinks and snacks and blankets. I think my plan for right now is to watch the rest of S1 of Supernatural and continue falling in love with Sam Winchester
