Just a signal boost about a UK fandom weekend that's happening 25-27 October. If that interests you, there's a post about planning the weekend and a poll about personal creating right here.

I went to see Twisters yesterday afternoon and had a fun time. As expected, a popcorn film, but the special effects were good, and I always like the buzz of being in a full theatre screen. Strangely, a couple did walk out after ten minutes, which I thought was a bit early to realise they hated a film. But I suppose it could have been a lot of things, too loud, too cold, too twister'ey.

On the way out of the cinema, we bumped into one of James' old school friends and had a fun talk about storm chasing. She asked us to go for a coffee, but we didn't have time then, but hopefully, soon.

Today I have to head off to class soon, then James has a hospital appointment this afternoon, with, hopefully, a quick visit to see Corey in-between.

Tomorrow it's the anniversary of my Fil's death, so we're meeting with my in laws for brunch. It's always a casual affair which is good as Bodhi will have to come along as I'm watching her 12-8 on Tues, Wed, Thurs. Then Friday, Rosie is going to the garage as her aircon/heating has broken. They could only offer a pickup appointment, so she'll be getting picked up Friday morning, then should be returned Friday late afternoon. Thankfully, the only thing planned for that day was going to see the new Deadpool film, and that can be easily moved.

Well, I'd better get going as I need to call in at the chemist too. I got my new compression wraps last week but opening the box saw there was only one pair in there when there was supposed to be two. There was also a label on the box saying, carton one of two, so I suspect there's another box sitting on the chemist shelf still.

You've been busy! And will be busy still. I hope you have/had a good class today and that James' appointment goes well. I can't wait to hear about the fun times you have with Bodhi. Will there be more bears?!! *g* (Has she ever been to a cat cafe? Would she be able to sit still and let the cats come to her?)

Apparently, so busy I didn't answer any comments on this post D:

But the part that is still relevant. Bodhi hasn't been to a cat cafe, she'd love to, I think. But all but one say no kids under 8, purely for the cat's benefit. I do always wonder why the one cafe that doesn't have that restriction decided that. Maybe to get the young kid trade.

Ahh, I hadn't thought of that. Small kids don't always understand the concept of 'wait for them to come to you'. They're just so excited!

I don't think I'd even recognise any of my old school friends if I ran into them!

I've quite a few on my FB, and still live the same place where I grew up. I think that would make a huge difference.

I hope the brunch goes well and people get to remember your FiL how they wish, and that Bodhi enjoys it too!

Also phooey on them not giving you the second carton. I hope they don't give you a hard time about getting it on the second attempt.

This is ages later, but the brunch was good, and Bodhi sort of liked it. There were a few too many new people for her to be totally comfortable.

Good to hear you'd fun at the movies. Did James manage to stay awake this time :-)

I hope James' appointment went well and that you'd a nice brunch with the inlaws!

No aircon in summer is awful so I hope they manage to fix it on Friday *keeps fingers crossed*

Oh no, how very vexing about the wraps!

I was so annoyed about the wrap situation. But it turned out they'd actually only ordered me one pair of compression wraps this time. Not sure how my lymph nurse managed to wrangle two the time before, but it seems it was a one time thing.
