Sep. 22nd, 2018 06:25 pmIt would have been my dad's 70th birthday last week. The pain of missing him isn't as immediate and raw as the ache for mam, but it's still there. I've had such a great tomato crop this year, and each one I pick reminds me of dad. I posted this photo of him and me on my Insta and my brother is the spitting image of dad. I'll never forget what he looks like when Chris is around.
In the last week I've been to see BlacKkKlansman, where I've never felt and heard such a weighty silence as when that film finished. Then on the same day went to see Crazy Rich Asians, which I enjoyed a lot. The day before we'd seen King of Thieves, which was another thumbs up. As you can probably guess, my carers card arrived, so all is good for another year.
TV wise I've been catching up on Killjoys, which remains made of win. I was also thrilled to see season two of The Resident and Midnight Texas were coming soon. I blame me watching the first totally on![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
castalie. Not that I watch countless other medical dramas. Oh no, not at all...
And, tonight Strictly starts for real! Now I know no one is probably interested, but still, I do enjoy that show. I still mourn the loss of Gleb -- oh Gleb with your Gleb specials, I am bereft I never got to see your show dance -- so last season my attention turned to AJ. I'm not sure why, but there was just something about him. Then I watched him on Celeb Masterchef these last two weeks and was reminded that while ridiculously competitive, he appears to have the personality of a wet lettuce.
On Tuesday we're finally going to see Wicked at the theater. We booked the tickets well over a year ago, back when we'd only just started to go to the theater and I was afraid of not fitting, so they're aisle seats, but good ones. I can't wait to go.
Finally, I got excellent things in the post this week. First, a sparkly box containing baby!BSB!Kevin fromnopseud with the note he was there to help with my driving lessons. Which he surely will, the power of those eyebrows would give anyone a boost. And then a lovely parcel from frausorge with such a lovely notecard and exploding sunburst stars to create. Thank you both ♥
