Into the Void

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I had one of my favourite hours of the month on Sunday: the Shedunnit watchalong. We watched The Ninth Guest (1934) and chatted. It was nice, really, really nice. Probably the most fun I have, period.

The boys are liking gymnastics. Minor is the oldest and biggest one there, but that's okay. I specifically picked a camp which extended from his age to Minisculus' so that Minisculus wouldn't be as nervous about trying something new.

Today is a Day of Mantrams [a kind of prayer] for Peace and Healing as sponsored by the meditation center I support because my guru's wife (guru died in 1999) is turning 100 years old! I sent her a card.

We finished Minisculus' Death Star. A bit underwhelming result but I don't see how it could be otherwise given how much work we (I) put into it. That's a tiny Millennium Falcon made out of an egg carton stuck to it.



Still enjoying audiobook of Book 2 of The Rivers of London, but that creeping thought 'this is glorifying police as problem solvers and assets to the community rather than what they really are' is raising its head so I may take a break after this one.

Day one of Ye Olde Menstrual Nonsense so I feel like an enormous bloody pin cushion.

I missed the first half of the watchalong - I had forgotten it was on, so didn't have time to rearrange tea and joined afterwards. I liked the film, although was probably happy enough to only see half of it.

Glad the boys are enjoying gymnastics!

I definitely needed the escape so I wasn't going to forget! Yes, it was a campy thing, but I think that's the best choice for it. Then we can take the piss the whole time.

Thank you! As usual, Minisculus went through his stages of Refusing to Go; Dread; Asking A Million Questions; and, finally, Loving It.

Delighted re fun of the watch along, sounds like a great idea:-)

It's a lot of fun! It doesn't really matter what we watch. We've watched a Rumpole and a Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple and a 1980's Tommy & Tuppence episode.
