I watch a lot of videos on YouTube. And I'm subscribed to a fair few YouTubers as well.
I watch all kinds of videos - nail tutorials, hair tutorials, vlogs, drawing, beauty DIYs, fashion DIYs, people blowing stuff in slow motion... all sorts.
But there are those videos that seriously make me start drooling - food videos.
I thought I'd share a couple I'd recently favourited. One of them is fairly healthy, the other... not so much.
(and no I haven't had a crack at making either of these... yet)
Taking part in Teaser Tuesday is simple. All you have to do is:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Then head over to Should Be Reading and add your link to the comments.
I'm still on the same book as last week, which surprises me as I've been reading it every day and I usually get through this genre pretty quickly... but anyway here are my teasers this week:
She stalked off. 'That,' said Frederic, whose jolly manner was nearly restored and who was almost making up by flirting with female clients what Thierry used to do by charming them, 'was the nicest she's ever been to us.'

Yesterday was the 70th anniversary of Operation Chastise or as it is more commonly known the Dambusters.
Due
to a family tie to the RAF and a large family interest in World War II
aircraft and military history I have also developed an interest in this area.
My main interests are D-Day and the deception operations however I love to see the aircraft flying (both World War II and modern) and specifically the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
The Lancaster Bomber is a very majestic aeroplane, as are the Spitfire and Hurricane that usually accompany it during the Memorial Flight.
Every year my family and I like to visit the air show at RAF Waddington where the Memorial Flight is one of the main attractions (along with the Red Arrows and the Vulcan Bomber
- which may soon have to be retired again unless you have a ridiculous
amount of money to give to the restoration fund). And yes we will be
going again this year.
The Lancaster Bomber doesn't really need a commentary which is why I chose this video from the Dambusters' 65th anniversary. If you don't want to see the short introduction skip ahead to 0.30.
I was going to post my own photographs of the bomber flying but blogger decided it didn't like them and wouldn't upload them properly. But the video below has a short slide show which you can look at whilst listening to The Dambusters March.
So this is my tribute to 617 Squadron (who are still in operation today - the Tornado jets in the first video are in that squadron) and the Dambusters raid all those years ago.
Taking part in Teaser Tuesday is easy-peasy. All you have to do is:
• Grab your current read • Open to a random page • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Then go to Should Be Reading to add your link to the comments and read other teasers.
So here are my teasers:
'Now...' He checked his notes. 'Anna, I'm sorry you weren't aware of the full gravity of the situation.'

I was recently on YouTube and discovered that those adverts that are put on before some videos are not just there to annoy us!
Yes they do have a use - I was waiting for some video to start and the advert was for a band. I'd never heard the song they were playing before but it sounded cool.
I had also never heard of the band in question before. But within fifteen minutes of seeing that advert I had Googled them, listened to some more of their songs and ordered their album (yes I could have downloaded it but if I am going to have more than just a couple of songs I like to get the actual physical CD).
As you might have guessed from the title of this post the band is called Imagine Dragons - isn't that a cool name?
And I thought I'd share a couple of my favourite songs.
So first up we have Radioactive... which has a bit of a weird video, to say the least, but is a great song none the less.
And then this next one - On Top Of The World - I find really uplifting and I can listen to it over and over again on a loop.
Using the phrase 'I have returned' makes me feel like I should be stood in a doorway wearing a cape with a storm raging outside.

So here are my teasers for the week:
The cabin lights failed as the jet suddenly lurched, then began to free-fall. Ash clutched the arms of his seat, his fingers clawing to grip them hard as he found his body almost weightless.
