Birthday post
Hello all.
I *think* I have managed to reply to all posts/messages. (If I have missed anyone, please let me know!)
Had a very lovely day yesterday - we went down to Cambridge to see Miss M, so after a lovely breakfast & opening cards/presents we were out of the door a little after 9am.
After having a wander around the town (and buying a couple of things) we went and had a picnic lunch which Darcy had prepared earlier. (As it was a cold and windy day, we had the picnic in Miss M's room.)
We then went to the Botanical Gardens, where it was Apple Day (
the_royal_anna will know which this was a particular draw), but it was interesting (and very pretty) apart from that.
Had a nice 'tea' from Dominos and then set off back home. But twas a lovely day, with all my girls. ♥
And then this afternoon one of my oldest childhood friends came to visit with husband and children. The children are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 and adorable, so it was a very nice afternoon. :)
Darcy got me some very nice headphones (I've never had any that were just mine I don't think...), and Miss M had bought me a pretty necklace (♥), but overall my presents were books (I had a wish list and everything):
We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy by Ta-Nehisi Coates
What Happened by Hillary Rodham Clinton
Born A Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah
And then I bought Why Mummy Drinks by Gill Sims (of the Peter and Jane and Mummy Too facebook fame) for myself, and it is so far hilarious and entirely too relateable!
OTHER STUFF:
NEW DOCTOR WHO COMPANIONS!!
On the BBC's website
On the Doctor Who website
~~
Delightful Spike/Angel vid by
double_duchess that I happened to come across:
I Hate You
~~
Am also watching Victoria, but way behind (tend to watch episodes a day or two before the disappear off ITVPlayer). However it keeps being as wonderful as before, and honestly I could watch them forever. (Just watched the one where they go to France, so no spoilers beyond that please.)
Also watching The Good Place and have started on iZombie on Netflix (Dr Ravi is my new favourite everything). Not that they aren't all brilliant, and it does so many things I appreciate. <3
And that's all for now, should probably go interact with the world, even if most of my friends live in my computer. Thank you all for just being you. ♥
