You gotta live a little
Last night I roasted a chicken with a sort of peri peri rub, and now I have a lot of delicious chicken left-overs. Unfortunately, while I was searching for flour to make the gravy, I discovered that a lot of my dried goods had been eaten by the Giant Rats of Sumatra (OK, the Tiny Mice of South London), who had also taken the opportunity to shit all over my cupboards. So I've spent most of the rest of the weekend washing things, swearing, and throwing bleach around.
I did find time to watch the 1939 Basil Rathbone Hound of the Baskervilles film. It's probably the oldest film I've ever seen, and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I really liked that 1930s!Watson was pretty smart (hardly any jam to be seen), and I loved the dorky flashback to Evil Cavalier Baskerville and his sinister carousing ways. Also, the film ends with Holmes announcing to a roomful of people that he's turning in, then literally turning around and summoning Watson to bed with him. ♥♥♥
The new Agent Carter trailer looks SO GREAT. Ladies! Stunning hats! Great music! Also, I just read a biography of Nancy Wake, a WW2 SOE hero who was essentially a real-life Peggy Carter, and I highly, highly recommend it.
