Hamilton is going on tour and is coming to Sunderland in summer 25. I've signed for the priority list to get tickets when they're released, but it feels so weird to be even thinking of getting something so far ahead.

I had an excellent sleep last night, waking up after 7am for the first time in ages. Got up and managed to nab a sushi Too Good to Go Magic Bag from the franchise in Sainsburys. It was the first time they'd advertised on there so I was lucky to get a bag when I did, especially as it was a morning pick-up. I'm not that keen on sushi, but James loves it but doesn't get it that often due to cost. So, nearly £20 worth of goods for £5 was well worth it.

Yesterday we went for a walk at a new to us relatively local park. I went because I'd heard a flock of cockatiels live there, and they do, multiple groups of them! They were so beautiful, bright green and vibrant as they perched on the branches and flew around the park. A guy stopped and asked if we'd never seen a cockatiel before as we were standing watching them, and no, no we had not, not in real life and free to fly where they want.

The park was also fun because in half of it, all the trees were covered in fairy doors and houses. I've never seen anything like it, literally, every tree in one part was decorated and it looked quite magical. By chance we started to chat with a couple walking their dog and the lady was actually the head of the volunteers who decorated the park. She invited me along to a group where they make fairy houses, but I think I'll give it a swerve. I like looking at the things, making them not so much.

Right now it's cold, grey and mizzly so after our time out this morning I'm staying in and catching up online a bit, while Stand By Me is on the TV. That made me laugh when I saw as a couple of days ago I got a FaceBook notification from my school days bestie which simply said, 'I'm going to rip off your head and shit down your neck' which surprised me because I didn't think I'd offended her or anything lately. Then clicked the link and realised it was posted as a tagged comment to me on a post about Stand By Me, a film we were obsessed by back in the day, with the phrase being a direct quote.

Man, we were gone over the film and watched it so many times. It's on now and I'm typing this and half watching and am being thrown back years to watching on a tiny TV and debating who was best, River Phoenix or Will Wheaton with occasionally, Corey Feldman getting a mention. I'd feel sorry for Jerry O'Connell that he was never a part of our teen debates but hey, he got plenty of attention from me once he starred in Sliders.
