Lockdown Questions:
I was tagged by @irlaimsaaralath - thank you!
Are you staying home from work/school?
I work from home anyway, but Mr. Ghosti was working in London before we all got told we had to work from home if we weren’t ‘essential workers’.
If you’re staying home, who’s there with you?
It’s just me, Mr. Ghosti and the plonts. Lots of ‘em. Here’s the latest hatchling:
Are you a homebody?
To a certain extent, although I love going on trips here in the UK to go hiking, and we’re always saving up for another adventure!
What movies have you watched recently? What shows are you watching?
Honestly, I haven’t found a movie that’s held my attention past the first thirty seconds in... years. Recommendations always welcome, especially if they’re fantasy! I did binge The Untamed on Netflix though, and can highly recommend it, even if you think that maybe Chinese historical fantasy dramas aren’t your thing. It’s beautiful and sumptuous and if you like props and sets and gorgeous landscapes, with a bit of intrigue, some supernatural and magical goings on, and lots of mutual pining, it’s worth trying...
An event that you were looking forward to that got cancelled?
We had saved up and planned to use Mr. Ghosti’s work air miles to visit possibly my best friend ever in NYC. Obviously, that’s not happening... I was really sad about that, but all we can do is sit it out and hope we’ll be able to go next year.
What music are you listening to?
Right now, Mr. Ghosti is playing Two Point Hospital, so... that chirpy little soundtrack is filling the room, but in general... more soundtracks, I suppose. And random stuff on YouTube that I can tune in and out of in the background.
What are you reading?
I started Magician’s Apprentice but found it a bit slow so I stalled. I was encouraged to stick with it though, so I’ll go back to it soon. I also have George RR Martin and Gardner Dozois’ ‘Rogues’ anthology on the go. I bought it yonks ago to read Patrick Rothfuss’ contribution, and am only now reading the others. I’m mega super dyslexic though, so reading is slooooow and haaaarrrd, and I hate reading on screens too... audiobooks are a go-to for me, but the voice is also important...
What are you doing for self-care?
Trying to keep a regular schedule, and we’re allowed to leave the house once a day for some exercise, so Mr. Ghosti and I are going for a little walk around the village every day to get some fresh air. I’m also planning to plant out all my little baby lettuce seedlings tomorrow, but it’s gonna be cloudy and 8C so I may not... haha. I also baked cookies made with coconut oil, coconut flour, and peanut butter tonight. Nomz. 🥛🍪
