I had a birthday...
Thank you to everyone for the birthday greetings! ♥ I think I responded to all of them, but if I missed one, poke me.
I had a lovely day, got some lovely presents, one of which was cinema tickets to see Dune. (Insert Squee!!) We went all three of us (thankfully the schools had an inset day on Friday) so Darcy, the Cherub & I all watched it in IMAX! Not cheap, and possibly TOO big and loud, although considering the sheer scope I am not sorry we went for the biggest option possible. I have loved Dune for years and years (stumbled across it in the library as a teenager) and have been very excited for this movie, since it finally looked like someone was going to do it justice.
At some point I will write up my thoughts, but Dune is so... complex and layered that it's difficult to know where to start. And I think I need to see it again before having any kind of actual thoughts.
~~
Anyway, have a couple of good things!

And on that note, this is... *chef's kiss* (some swearing initially, just fyi). But just - even the COLOURS!
