Oct. 3rd, 2021 02:45 pmWe tend to go to Re.F.Use for breakfast every Saturday morning. Yesterday, the lead lady greeted us with, 'let me guess, one vegetarian breakfast with brown toast, one full English with an extra egg and extra white toast' and yeah, we're that predictable it seems.
That same day we took my MiL out for a drive in the afternoon. I think the reality of living together is starting to hit for both her and my SiL and they both need time apart at times. My SiL's house is local authority and has four bedrooms, but it's still small with only a living room, toilet and kitchen downstairs, so there's no room for privacy. So, we went for a drive along the coast and had coffee and everyone got a break for a bit.
We went to see the new Bond film, No Time to Die on Friday. I can't say it's my favourite franchise but James loves them and has been waiting to see this for a long time now. We went to the iSense in Durham with the comfy recliners, and considering the film is nearly three hours long it was probably just as well.
Like I said above, it's not my favourite franchise and I actively dislike the early Bond films, but have watched the Daniel Craig versions at the cinema and while I didn't dislike them, didn't love them either. Which is why I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this.
The film is far too long. It started losing my attention in the middle and the pacing seemed off. But overall, it was a win for me, which I'm still surprised at.
That same evening I read some Bond/Q, resulting in actually dreaming about Bond. It wasn't a sex dream, but some h/c without the c, but even so. Come on brain, what's up with that?
It's October which means Whumptober fics are being posted, which is fab, but also leads to my usual frustrations about short chapters or one-shots being posted daily when I want something long to sink into. Thankfully, Musketeer fandom seems to love whumptober so I won't complain too much as at least it's a change from all of the 'female OC joins the Musketeers and kicks ass falling in love with one of them at the same time and everyone lives happily ever after' stories that have been posted recently.
