Staycation, here I come!: Sunday Musings #90

When you are reading this post, I would be enjoying my coffee and the two day staycation at Cove Rotana, Ras Al Khaimah. I know it is still scary to be out in the world with the numbers again slowly rising in the UAE but I think it is a well deserved rest.

When I say well deserved, I want to remind that I have been following the rules, restrictions and the curfew for six months now – yes the whole COVID-19 drama started here in the late February. I have stayed home as much as possible and the very few times I went out, I followed social distancing and with the gloves/masks.

Sure, it is the bare minimum, but staying cooped up in the house and working all through the pandemic is so depressing and sad. And hence the staycation (also because the prices were cheap for obvious reasons).

How was your week? What are you currently reading and watching? Have you watched Modern Family? Let's talk. #SundayPost Share on X

Anyway I will still be following all the precautions and santization, as required. But I need the beach, whatsoever. So the next time I talk to you guys I hope to be well rested and more fun than usual.

Here are some pictures of the hotel we are staying in for you!

What I read this week

I am currently reading Good Omens by . It is hilarious and I am looking forward to watching the Amazon adaptation pretty soon.

What I watched this week

I bid an almost tearful good bye to Modern Family and I loved it, as I told you last week.

I am currently watching Good girls – S3 and I am not enjoying it as much as I did the earlier seasons. It might be a tad repetitive for my taste now.

Should I give up and watch something else?

Around the blogosphere

I went on blog hopping spree last week and these are the posts that I loved. I hope you enjoy them as well.

From the Insta-world

Here is what I posted on Instagram during the week. Give me a follow, will you?

A bit of pedaling, another bit of hike, and a lot of fun and laughter! 📖 What are you currently reading?⁠ I am finally out of my slump and I am reading books at my usual pace of 1 book per week. The dreadful summer is here. And I know I have been talking about it for a long time now. But here it is really now. And it has been horrible. Do you trust blurbs that compare book titles? Do they work for you? Lies We Bury by Elle Marr was recommended for the readers of “Room”. Read my book review of Lies We Bury to Elle Marr to know if it worked for me. What are you guys reading currently?

  1. I don’t blame you for getting away one little bit! We went away last weekend for a little staycation and it was wonderful! Covid is utterly draining so doing what you need to recharge and stay sane is a must and all you can do is take every precaution. 🙂 I hope you enjoy it.

  2. Wow that resort looks amazing, I hope you have enjoyed it, I don’t think I’d want to go home!

    Thank you so much for the mention too, I had a good response to that post.

    Have a lovely week!

  5. I hope you have an amazing staycation – it looks lovely!

    I’ve just finished watching the third season of Good Girls and it definitely wasn’t as enjoyable as the earlier seasons. It did improve as the series went along though. I loved the adaptation of Good Omens though!

    I’m yet to watch Modern Family but hear good things… I may have to check it out!

  7. That hotel looks gorgeous – I really hope you are enjoying your well-deserved break, Gayathri. Also great to hear you are loving reading Good Omens – I loved it too and I am hoping to watch the TV adaptation soon. Take care and happy reading for the coming week. 🙂
