Jun. 9th, 2022 04:28 pmI've been watching Big Boys and enjoying it a lot. From the outside, it looks like a typical laddish comedy but it has some incredibly sombre moments that catch you as the two main characters deal with loss and depression along with their first year at uni.
I've also been enjoying all the fanvids being recced at![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
fanvid recently. Because of that, I watched a really great Musketeers fanvid this morning. The Musketeers is often a show that plays for laughs, but it also has incredibly serious moments too, and this vid explores those Knocking on Heaven's Door. Content warnings on the Fancake post.
My garden is looking pretty great right now, all the containers are full of flowers and the tomatoes and courgettes are coming along nicely. I cheated and bought an established pepper plant from the wilted and needing TLC shelf at B&Q and it has peppers on which is cool. Whether more will appear I don't know, but I have hope. Plus, I noticed the lily beetles were back early this year and got them sprayed, so fingers crossed, I'll have more than stalks this time.
My six months on the mail panel is nearly up again so I got my end of term stamp presentation pack, which was The FA Cup this time. I also have paperwork on the way which means I can swap my stash of stamps for the new barcoded ones. I have so many of the things it's ridiculous.
The cost of living situation continues to creep up. Not just the big things like petrol and utilities, but earlier I was at the chemist and was going to nip into Costa and get an iced latte as it's a lovely sunny day. But they're now £4:20 and just, nope. I'm not going to stop drinking them altogether because I do like a Costa but cut back, totally. I really can't justify paying that much for a coffee very often. Especially so as I had oat milk, ice and ice latte packet mix at home and that tastes just as good.
