Saturday Snippets 4 October 2014
{watching} Red 2. Great film. High body count, so not one for the teenies, the wisecracking is brilliant, and Helen Mirren is just excellent with a machine gun. And a knife. And acid. And her feet. 😉 {reading} this one is a bit more difficult. I seem to have about six books on the go,…

{watching} Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return (Amazon). Arrived for review this morning, and was absolutely perfect for a trimmed down #familyfilmnight with just the younger two. And I enjoyed it, which was a bonus, although a film featuring Sir Patrick Stewart as a tree is always going to stand a chance with me 😉 Unlike…

{watching} Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Big hit with all the family except Tim, who really has seen it all before. Though even he wants a set of Falcon wings for Christmas. And who wouldn’t? With a body count rather higher than an Arnie film, I was quite pleased the little ones were playing Reading…

{reading} Further adventures of Milly Molly Mandy. Third book in the series, courtesy of local secondhand book store. While I was there, I discovered a copy of Milly Molly Mandy and Billy Blunt, but I’m not sure whether that’s different stories, or just the ones with Billy Blunt in. {watching} Overboard. Unusually, this romantic comedy…

{reading} Mindful living with Asperger’s Syndrome. Written by a guy diagnosed as an adult, who has lots of experience with mindfulness techniques. I can hear him choosing his words carefully though, so as not to offend, but also wanting to get his points across. I tried out the first set of techniques, but the sun…

{missing} Tim and Big who are off in 1560 celebrating May Day with the other Tudors. Far too cold to be in a tent with very small people though – the heating is on in the house. I hope Big is coping OK – she feels the cold a bit, but I did send her…

{feeling} very odd. I’ve got something strange going on – maybe inner ear related. I feel a bit light headed while sitting down, but every time I stand up I fall over. Which is awkward. {running} before this came on, I did my best run possibly ever, trimming my time for 1.2 miles down to…

{Watching} walking with dinosaurs the movie. Mixed reactions, but full review, with bonus features 😉 to come on Tuesday. {Feeling} sore both physically and emotionally. Post pilates week two, I’m feeling that it was a core and neck workout. I also feel that my posture is improving and I’m moving better (didn’t feel like a…

{Wearing} a kirtle. First open day at kentwell Hall, preparing for this year’s reenactment season. {Talking} to friends and new participants. Catching up with people I haven’t seen all winter. Meeting people I’ve never met before. {Spending} ouch money on new (and secondhand) shoes. They are lovely though. {Feeling} cold and tired. Sun was bright,…
Saturday Snippets 15 February 2014
{Cooking} spaghetti bolognese. A big batch. Probably 4 meals worth. {Eating} something else entirely. At a pub. A meal out. Wow. (It was a very good burger since you ask. ) {Drinking} Adnams broadside on draft. {Feeling} like an individual instead of a role. {Discussing} politics and economics, taxation and basic income. {Reading} a very…
