The Last Kingdom
Did anyone else watch this? I loved it! I remember reading the first book, several years ago. I think Last Kingdom and Wolf Hall are my two favourites from the last year and a bit. I really need to rewatch Wolf Hall too.

Melancholy
Listening to Silly Wizard and it makes me sad. Still so saddened by the death of Andy M. Stewart. Such amazing music, so much joy.

That Star Wars Movie
I've been wanting to post since I saw it, but wanted to be less emotional. Now it's been a few weeks, I'm giving it a try.

December Post :D
My brother actually got mum to go see Star Wars with him, since I refuse to see it again. I don't think she's been in a movie theatre for quite a few years. She's partly deaf, and has mobility issues and finds the seats very uncomfortable. We'll usually do a Marvel movie or other blockbuster DVD catchup over Christmas.

How'd It Get To Be Thanksgiving?
Picked the last of the Anaheims yesterday, then bro got a wood fire going in the bbq grill. Charred them all up really nice, then did some onions so as not to waste the fire.

I've been working on my family tree on and off for 15 odd years, not really getting anywhere, and not paying for an Ancestry.com membership, just using the free version. For my birthday last year, I think it was, Nin got me the DNA test thru Ancestry, and after I got the ( Read more... ) -
Hey, look, it's August already....
Hope everyone is well in LJ land. I seem to have fallen off the edge of the internet, but I can just see it from down here. Will try and check in again before Autumn :) -
Checking In
Just popping in to let you know I'm around, just not very 'present' online these days. It's hard to believe it has been six weeks sine my father died. I still go to take him down a cup of tea in the morning, before stopping myself. The Disneyland 60th Anniversary adverts are probably the thing that get to me. One of the last conversations I had ( Read more... ) -
This, That, and Age of Ultron
First off, thank you to everyone who left condolences -- I truly appreciate it. It's been a little over two weeks since my father died, and it only started to seem 'real' over the last few days ( Read more... )
