I had an excellent weekend with sperrywink. We relaxed and got to go to the cinema, to the beach front restaurant I like so much and spent a lot of time chilling out on the couch, eating toast, watching tv and checking out stuff online.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great and I really want to see it again. It's jumped up there as my favourite Marvel movie, even more so than Avengers. We did go to the posh cinema and had many nachos, delicious food, popcorn and pop before being escorted to the comfy couches to watch the movie in imax 3d, something that was really impressive in certain scenes. The only sort of bad thing was I managed to hurt my knee and due to babying it for the rest of the weekend was moving at the speed of a slow tortoise. Which admittedly isn't much better than my usual, but even so.

Sunday we had dinner out, and saw Stormtroopers walking through Seaburn while waiting for James at Morrisons. Sperrywink also swatted a wasp out of the car with her hand, as apparently she has nerves of steel.

Then yesterday she went off to Pen's and left us :(

But, it was a splendid weekend and one I enjoyed a lot. But really, what's up with my friends being oceans away? That's just not on.

So to sum up, I think I need to post a spoilery Groot gif that I love a lot and needs to be in my journal, and also have merch brought out of it already.

I'd tell you how long I've spent looking this gif, but it's kind of embarrassing. I mean, look at him!

That Groot scene is probably my favourite thing in the entire movie! Admittedly, I did not love the film the way you do. But little twig dancing Groot is to LOVE.

sperrywink has been delivered to Heathrow now, and nopseud has just left for home, so I am de-sparkled once more. We had a very good Afternoon Tea yesterday just outside St Albans, with many entirely satisfactory cakes, and quite a lot of fanficcy talk in the sedate hotel lounge...

Little twig dancing Groot is amazing. I came out of the cinema sure there would be merch of that already, but all I found were countess people wanting the same thing, and it not actually existing. The franchise has missed a trick there.

That sounds like an excellent meet up. Cakes and fanficcy talk always go well together.

I'm so envious of your weekend with Kimberly :-) It sounds like it was totally wonderful. Except for your poor knee. I hope it's better again now?

I didn't know the Empire was interested in English seaside towns. The more you know... :-)

That's such a cute gif!

It really was a great weekend. My knee is feeling much better, not 100% yet but getting there.

It was so funny seeing the Stormtroopers, especially strolling past the shop *g*

It is! I love baby Groot so much.

*tackle hugs* I had such a great time at yours! Going to the posh cinema was an excellent choice, and the seaside restaurant with the kites was amazing.

Miss you guys already!

GROOT!!!

I'm so glad that you did, because I certainly enjoyed having you here. We may have to go to the beach on Sunday, see if James can finally get a picture of the kites *g*

Ditto.

He's the best! I've been reading up on GotG canon as related to the rest of the Marvel universe, and am now eager for a movie that's not due out for many years.
