The world will turn to Ash

shadowhiveFriday was a pretty easy day really. We picked up Pokemon Shield and I got a Star Wars bag from Disney which is, thankfully, just the right size for my Zelda bag. We had Pizza Hut again and had some boozy hot chocolate from the German Market which was nice. They put baileys in it so now I might have to get a bottle for Christmas.
We had a lazy day, I did some on Pokemon (though I got caught up in the wild area). So far it’s pretty good and I’ve got a varied team which is mostly new Pokemon. I might switch one of two out soon but I’ve not seen ones that catch my eye enough to do so yet. And the new ponyta is awhile away. I’m almost at the first gym which I probably should have done before now but... wild area.
We’ve watched a few films as well which have varied in quality. I watched Jigsaw at last, which was the best one of them I think. Cold Skin was interesting but felt a bit too drawn out in places. Worlds End was better than I remembered it being and Wounds had good ideas but didn’t focus enough on them. The new Flatliners was pretty good too. Diego Luna with long hair? Unf.
Yesterday was comic con. We got priority tickets so I was able to see the Anthony Daniels talk which was funny in places. Unfortunately I didn’t get his autograph though, with it being free with his book loads of people were there and just... no luck. It felt it was a bit poorly planned but... what can you do.
However getting the auto from Taylor Grey (Ezra from Rebels) was much easier. He’s so cute and he was so sweet. He took the time to talk with everyone and I didn’t have anything in mind today, so we talked a bit about the Mandalorian (which he thinks is great and peak Filoni), that Ezra is still alive out there somewhere and that Vanessa (Hera) is doing ok and is having surgery.
I used my money to a few things too. First was getting the bulbasaur funko at last and its so adorable I love it! It was my first time seeing it in person so I just had to. I got two black series figures too, Beckett from Solo and the new Rise Of Skywalker C-3PO. If I had more I’d have probably picked up Chopper too.
Last was the Rebels panel which was fun and entertaining, they had a Chopper on postage and They answered questions and talked about fav eps and what they’d like to see. And Taylor being adorable.
While figuring out what to eat at the station (I’ve ate in two of the new places there, a Lebanese place and somewhere called Giraffe yesterday) I caught sight of something I didn’t know was there. There’s a cat cafe at the station! So I filed that away and, when we got back to the hotel, I looked into it. Turns out they had a nice sounding menu and when I looked into it there was only two slots for this morning... so I booked one since it was free.
Cut to this morning and off we went and it was nice. The food was good (as was the mock tail I had) and all the kitties was so cute. There was one that looked like a baby Midna as well as one that played with my shoelaces. They were utterly adorable (and one came for Heather’s wedges, managing to nab one). The whole place was adorable and I put pics on insta.
The rest of the day was sorting Heather’s laundry and packing, which, it’s so sad really. It’s been such a nice time and feels like it’s gone far too quickly. I hope she can come back again soon. We’re watching some things now, Mamma Mia at the minute and snuggling. (I still think that fic I did for Kliego week based on it is the best I’ve ever done.)
Tomorrow’s plan is to take Heather to the airport and to get home, where I’ll snuggle the pup, sort food shop, get Fallen Order downloaded and watch tonight’s stuff on iplayer. The night is either gonna be Fallen Order or Space 1999 depending on how tired I feel.

Baileys in hot chocolate is lovely. I fully encourage the buying of a bottle. I've three bottles of the Aldi dupes in the cupboard, all different flavours. They only tend to get opened at Christmas, and I hope they don't get stronger with age as they'll blow my head off this time.
