Jul. 18th, 2016 09:05 amWe're heading out to see Ghostbusters this afternoon. Though, considering James just came off his last shift at 2am I suspect the odds of him staying awake through the whole thing aren't good. Really it would have been best to go tomorrow but Monday is cheap day at Odeon which means we don't need to pay too much of a supplement for Gallery tickets.
I don't plan on waking him until dinnertime, so he may be okay, but if not. It won't be the first time -- or last -- he's had a snooze in the cinema, and those couches are comfy.
Had a bit of a scare last week when my FiL fell backwards while putting my MiL's wheelchair in the house and bashed his head on the pavement. We'd just came back from helping nanna to bed when I got a frantic call from MiL who was talking about blood and falling and what should she do? In the end James drove through there, but FiL didn't want to go to hospital, so in the end MiL had to stay up with him all night. He's okay now, just scared people as head wounds do tend to bleed like crazy.
We took nanna out for a few hours last week. It's the first time she's been out of the house for months, so was a positive sign. We ended up at Tynemouth again. I swear, we haven't been to that place for ages and then lately we've been four times in as many weeks. It was good as we could pull the car up near to the door to the pub we went to for dinner, and inside there's a beautiful ocean view. It was lovely to see nanna out and about, and I had to laugh when as usual she said she could barely eat anything after putting away a prawn cocktail starter and a carvery.
We drove to Saint Mary's Island after eating, and as Pauline had come too, nanna said we should go and stretch our legs and Pauline would keep her company. So we did, and had a quick walk over to the lighthouse. Which you can see here. I tell you, this having energy thing is kinda cool.
Fannish wise I've been in a Mag 7 reading binge for the last few days. My pairing of choice remains Vin/Ezra and I was very excited one day to find a 90K ATF story for them. Then I started to read, and knew I couldn't do it. It was just terrible. But thankfully I later found a 100K story for them which I'm reading through now.
I'm also writing. I was thinking about The Musketeers, and looking at my h/c bingo card, and the robots prompt caught my eye. So now I'm writing about a robot&human space sex station. As you do. Well, you do if you're me. No idea if anyone will read, I know the fandom does do AUs, but maybe not space AUs. But hey, I'm having fun with it.
Someone is reading through all my bandom stuff at the moment and leaving kudos and comments. They hit When Day Is Night Alone last night and it's nice to know the story can still prompt a reaction. It's been so lovely seeing those comments come in.
Finally, like many others I've been playing Pokemon Go. It's good stuff, adds a bit of interest to walking and I do love annoying James by managing to grab Pokemon and Pokestops when we're driving slowly. Though he got his own back yesterday by telling me that his workplace is surrounded by gyms and pokespots and he'd caught three pokemon on his break.
