(no subject)

We went to see Poor Things at the cinema on Saturday, and I've never seen anything like it before. Sort of Steampunk horror, bizarre, gruesome at times, disturbing often, and more explicit sex than I've ever seen on the big screen. Three people walked out, and I can understand why, but all the characters were compelling, and I really wanted to see what happened to Bella. I liked it, but would say, check what you're going to see before watching, because it won't be for everyone.

Then it was home for some more cheesy Gladiator goodness, and yep, episode two was just as OTT, innuendo filled and fun as the first.

Since it started, I've been checking out footage from the Strictly live tour. Don't worry, I won't subject people to yet more Layton and Nikita, but they've been making me very happy, and I've been enjoying the videos and photos that are being released.

Otherwise, Storm Isha arrived, and my garden is looking sad. I braced the wonky fence as best I could and put heavy rocks in front of the gate to keep it shut, but I woke to my butterfly wall art off the wall and half the containers are off the flower shelf. But, there's not a thing I can do about it right now, and hopefully it'll be over -- well, I was going to say soon, but the warnings are in place until Wednesday, though thankfully, it's still windy, but not as windy, today.

When things calm down, I need to see what's going on with the flower shelf as the shelf itself is tipped a little. It's the last thing my dad did for me before he got ill, so I'd hate for it to collapse completely. He made it by putting a long scaffolding plank on top of five flower basket brackets, and those seem solid. So, I hope it's just the plank needs attaching a bit more securely at the back.

I'm really glad you're able to enjoy more Layton and Nikita

hope the new storm isn't too bad, and you suffer no more damage. hopefully that flower shelf can be resecured, so you can continue to enjoy it

It's fun looking at all the Strictly tour stuff that is being released. I'm enjoying my Layton and Nikita fix before they separate in terms of dancing for good and Strictly if totally over.

I'm hoping the flower shelf just needs the back screwing down again. Not that I can check yet as another named storm is due to hit this afternoon.

Oh I’ve heard Poor things is pretty wild and I’m kinda curious bit probably not enough to see in cinema

Awww that’s awesome that they’re on the tour together!

We got some of the storm though mostly just the wind. Hopefully it’s calmed down now for you

It was such a strange film, beautifully shot and the music score was excellent. But also, very weird with a lot of sex to watch.

They seem to be having a lot of fun together on tour, including teaching dance classes together on some days. I don't know where they get the energy.

It did calm down but now the next named storm has hit, so not only do we have wind but rain, too.

That sounds like some storm! I hope you can stay safe and warm.

I hate the wind. It causes so much damage, but I'm just glad the fences stayed up. The ivy that's over them is a pain in the backside at times, but at least it gives extra strength.

I loved Gladiators again

I loved Gladiators again

I agree. It's great having a show to look forward to on a Saturday night :D

I don't think anyone will mind if you subject us to some more Layton & Nikita love ;-D

Your poor garden! I hope the wind has calmed down by now and that the flower shelf was easy to fix!

[turps]

Oh, Layton and Nikita love will be coming at some point this month *g*

I still haven't fixed the flower shelf. It's either been too windy, too wet, and now we have snow and freezing temps again. Like i was telling you, flowers had started to bloom but I suspect a lot may be killed off by the coming snow.
