turpsThe plasterer was here to block the door up on the bedroom side this morning. So, as of now all workmen jobs are finished. He was only supposed to block the actual door, but decided to skim the whole wall as he said it would look better, which was fine by me.
Now I just have to wait until later and I can finally put the bedroom back to rights. The drawers have been laying on Corey's bed since last week so I could move the unit easier, and it'll be nice to have the clock back on a bedside table again.
As I can't move anything up there yet I'm going to have an hour or so of reading tabs, because between Snowflake, challenge exchanges and certain friends writing and posting many ficlets I have rather a lot of them at the moment. Then after that I'm going to the doctor's with mam.
Saturday I had a double cinema visit. First xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage which was ridiculous action fun -- with the added extra of a couple sneaking up to the couches and having what looked really close to full sex, before going back to their actual seats, making out there, and coming back up to retrieve their coats.
Then we had an hour to spare, so I nipped in Evans to check out their final sale reductions, and scored a long tunic with a t-shirt under it which was £8 down from £55.
A bit of a mooch later and we went back to the cinema to see Manchester by the Sea, and my goodness, what a film. I won't spoil in case anyone is going to see it, but the acting was amazing, especially by Casey Affleck.

Hey! I resemble that remark! *g*
Double Feature, sweet! Glad you enjoyed both movies. Did James stay up for Manchester by the Sea? Inquiring minds want to know.

Well, he stayed awake for both, but said Manchester by the Sea was so depressing he wished for death before the end. So the staying awake wasn't a rec from him.
Totally random. I usually pick stuff up like this but as part of the day we went to an American themed diner, and I had a chicken salad, and it turned out the salad part was only lettuce with a dressing, no tomatoes, cucumber etc. Is that right? Surely a salad can't just be lettuce?

Sounds like you'd a fun day Saturday. (But did James manage to stay awake for both films? Inquiring minds want to know ;-) (And that's a fantastic find you did!)

I really enjoyed the day, and he did manage to stay awake for both films! I have to admit I was surprised as he really disliked the second one, and that's usually the start of a snooze fest for him.

I thought Manchester by the Sea was strong but way too moody. *hands* (FTR, I've become less enthused with it cuz of some allegations that are making the rounds regarding Casey being a massive dick to the female crew.)

I saw that about Casey afterwards. It's all very sleazy and unpleasant.
