Feb. 4th, 2023 02:27 pmI realised Festivids has been live for a bit and have been happily checking out the vids, so far on my first pass I've enjoyed vids from Bake Off which was fun, and I liked how it was early Bake Off which I enjoyed more than the ones now. Ghosts which was just lovely, and this perfect one for We Are Lady Parts
I was talking to Corey yesterday, asking if there was anything in particular he wanted for his birthday and he said he'd rather have something practical from his Amazon list, so that's something that can be easily sorted. He's on lates all next week apart from Tuesday when he's off to a gig, and is going out with friends on his actual birthday, so I'm thinking we'll arrange a Friday meet-up and get a late dinner/early tea in Newcastle.
One of the Snowflake responses linked to Project Britainand I've had fun reading through it. Though according to some of the custom and etiquette pages, I'm actually an uncouth oaf. I did smile at the 'what do you call meals' section as I've always called them breakfast, dinner and tea, but using lunch has slowly crept into use too while saying dinner for the evening meal still seems all kinds of wrong.
Today we had an Olio pick-up and then went for a walk. I should have been suspicious when James drove to a place we don't visit that often, but also a place that's heavily wooded. Yeah, I ended up carrying a branch home, thankfully not a big one, but big enough.
I had to call in at Kayleigh's after that but didn't stop long as it was Bodhi's nap time and she wasn't in a sociable mood at all.
I start my first mail survey postings next week and today I got an email explaining that parcels are about to be added to the schedule too. But what I like is instead of the stupid cubes with nothing in them, the smaller parcels will contain books which you can either keep, give away to someone else who would like it, a charity shop, or send it back freepost to the survey place. So now I'm interested in what kinds of books will actually be sent.
