I saw this YT earlier and wondered if you had seen it. What do you think? (Does the link bit work?)

Link works :) I hadn't seen it. Thank you. I liked it, wouldn't have thought of that pairing, worked better than I'd have imagined.

The weather can often make my legs drowsy/achy. Are you able to rest comfortably? Some gentle movements may help but go slowly with it.

Not as comfortable as I’d like, I’ve propped myself up in bed, with my leg on some cushions, which is relieving the pain in my back greatly, when I feel I’m getting stiff I’ve been going for a walk downstairs and back up again. It’s getting a little chilly, so I’m going to get a blanket out. Time for some more pills so that’ll help too.

I’ve really not been exercising/stretching as much as I know I should, all summer, so this has prompted me to realise I really need to get on that. Lesson learnt body, lesson learnt, I’m listening. Lol.

Thank you Opal xx

I remember trips to the library, we’d take it in turn, with my primary school (it was a tiny village school), we’d have a trunk of library books we’d return and pick another trunk full. There was always one book I had to choose to go in the selection, but for the life of me, can’t remember what.

for 80s movie ask :) : Back to the Future / The Lost Boys / The Goonies...

:)

Which decade in the last century would you most have liked to live in?

I think I’d have to go with the 1900s. Some of my favourite art, architecture, classical music, science, literature, fashion, people etc... were there to experience/enjoy/marvel at or being created... it’s slap bang in the middle of my favourite eras (1880-1920). It would be nice to experience those things as new, contemporary, rather that a part of history.

Would you rather be immortal or objectively beautiful to everyone?

Immortal, which seems a little odd, even too me, since I don’t do much ‘living’ presently. It’s a little tricky to express, exactly, but I believe that being immortal would afford certain margins for error, in experiencing life, eliminate certain fears, making life more liveable.

What was the last thing to make you laugh?

Just finished watching Tag (2018). It wasn’t a great film, enjoyable, Jake Johnson’s character was definitely the standout comedy wise.

For 80s movie ask: The Breakfast Club or/and Ghostbusters?

Which high school stereotype do you fit into best?

Quiet Loner. Some nicknamed me the lone ranger, because I wasn’t always surrounded by friends, I had friends, I apparently didn’t have enough of them. Temperament around such a-holes, think Stokely from The Faculty, lol.

Where were you when you watched your favourite movie for the first time?

I’ve never seen any of my favourite films at the cinema, all seen for the first time at my house, or my grandparents.

Random music shuffle... 3 Doors Down ~ Pages.

Favourite lyric...

“His feelings lie over a page alone. There waiting for someone who cares to read them. To open their eyes to see them. To see if they can make his thoughts their own.”
