turpsIt was the funeral of our family friend today. It went as well as these things ever do, and the humanist service was lovely. Then back to the wake, where I stayed much longer than I expected, and half of the mourners ended up dancing to Barbie Girl, which was surreal, and yet, exactly what Cathy would have wanted.
Sadly, I made the rookie mistake of stripping the bed this morning, forgetting I'd have to remake it again when I got home. But once I've done that I'm going to hit the couch for a night of TV, because man, it's been a long day.
But, before I pull myself together and do that.
Based on the rumours, there may be a new tv series being filmed, Downton Abbey.
I binge-watched all the episodes during the lockdown period of Covid. In one way, I wish I'd watched on a weekly basis while it was being broadcast, but on another, binge-watching meant I missed out on the cliffhangers. Though, it also meant some story lines seemed to last forever when watched in a chunk.
I love the visuals of the show, the clothes, furniture etc, and most of the characters. It was a nice bit of escapism when I watched, and I loved losing myself in that world. I do read fic for the show, but only the Barrow fandom side of things, which is Thomas, usually paired with Richard. Though, like so often in fic, the fic based Thomas is a much nicer and more rounded person than we see on screen.
