castalie someone who has tastes that are very similar to mine, I watched the Netflix movie The Old Guard and enjoyed it a lot. I can't honestly say it's a brilliant film, but it has characters I fell for and ended up rooting for very fast, some amazing ladies, awesome action scenes and made me think about the downsides of immortality. And of course, this. Mouse put it up there as one of the great romance scenes and I have to agree. It's Joe/Nicky and hit me right in the feels.
Otherwise, I've also been binge-watching Downton Abbey recently and just hit the end of season one. About 10 years behind everyone else but what else is new? The downstairs squabbling makes me tense though and I have the urge to punch some of the characters in the face often. I've also been binge-watching Bringing Up Bates which I'm sure no one else watches as it's a show about a family with 19 kids and it's ridiculous, they're religious, live lives very alien to mine, but are so damn nice to each other that it's incredibly soothing.
In the last week or so we've managed to get to the Wetlands at last, though sadly too late to see any of the baby birds, had a few walks at the beach, I did a solo dishwasher fix after the float got stuck again and got a surprise text saying don't forget my doctor's appointment for last Friday, which I had totally forgotten about so thank goodness for the text reminder. It was for my B12 and what was daft was it was the last vial and I told the nurse that, so she checked the date and it was out of date. Thankfully she had a spare but I wish they would prescribe fewer vials as I get six at a time atm and as I only get them injected once every three months the last one will always be out of date.
It was also weird in the doctors as they had none of the public lights on. They were on in the back where the offices were but in the waiting room and corridor none were on at all making it very dark and gloomy. It made for a strange atmosphere especially with anyone in the building having to wear a mask.
ETA: I uploaded this yesterday to share elsewhere, so have a photo of Murphy. He likes to sleep under the covers with us and this rather unflattering pose is what I captured when I woke up one morning.
