turpsI don't know why but I had the worst sleep last night. My Fitbit said I had just over three hours, which is about five hours down on the time I usually get. It did mean I got caught up a bit on Masterchef USA though as it was easy watching as I lay wide awake in the middle of the night.
I was planning on going to the cinema today but suspect I would have done a James and been out for the count within minutes. As it is, I can see an early night on my horizon. Plus, we'd been to the cinema yesterday to see The Call of the Wild -- which was pretty okay, so no burning need to go today.
We'd gone to the Durham Odeon and when we got there found out the fire and ice festival was on, which included ice sculptures around the town centre. Going to the cinema we passed the DeLorean from Back to the Future while outside the cinema itself, a load of chocolate bars had been encased in an ice block and people were encouraged to dig them out via chipping at the ice or melting it somehow. You can see that here. We were at an early show so people had just started to dig at it but I suspect by the afternoon the chocolate would be coming out easier.
We would have gone to see more of the ice sculptures but it started to sleet when we left the cinema and I hate that stuff, and sleety cobbles really wouldn't be good for James to walk on, so we came home and hunkered in for yet another stormy weekend.
Tinker comes home tomorrow. I was getting worried that they'd lost her as it'll be two weeks on Tuesday but apparently the animal cremation place only does pickups/drops off once a week, so the receptionist promised as soon as she's there she'll phone. When no doubt I'll cry again, but I'll feel better that she's home where she belongs.
I've just finished Strange Love as recced byglitteryv and enjoyed it so much. I actually took a break in the middle of reading, not because of the book but because of life, but got back into it the last few days and have been finishing it off as part of my bath and book routine, and much prunage happened as a result. I really do recommend it, and Luce's recs as they're great.
