Beyond our understanding

So after the last post the trip to get superglue was successful (despite almost losing my glasses lens in nettles on the way). The glue worked and has held since them, yipee! So I shouldn’t have it break (at least like that) again for awhile. And if I do, hey I’ve got superglue.

I went in the Game in the Sports Direct while I was down there and it was so odd. There weren’t prices on 90% of the things which was an odd choice. They didn’t have what I saw in the site anyway but it did feel so off putting.

That night I watched the first Eurovision semi final and it was pretty good, though it was a shame Croatia didn’t get through (it was one of the better songs) and my focus did get a bit off. The second semi final is tonight and we vote in it, so I’m gonna vote on… something and hope Isreal don’t get through.

Yesterday ended up being a town trip, but ugh beforehand was so stressful. Mum started an argument and we missed two of the earlier buses which was annoying and I almost didn’t go.

The trip was mostly to use a voucher at Lindt at the outlet store and we did that, getting some of the raspberry (which I’ve not tried) and pistachio boxes (plus two discounted things). But can someone explain what the deal is with ‘Dubai chocolate’ like what is that and why’s a bar of it twice the price (£10 compared to £4.50) of other bars?

The outlet other than that was a bit eh, I was unfocussed from the argument (and there’s not much there anyway) but at least we got churros. (And on the bus I started last months read Christie, the seven dials mystery.)

In town I got SFX from Morrisons (it’s a halfway to Halloween special) and the Lego Plum Blossom from B and M (which looks so pretty) and some cans of Stranegr Things drink which I’ll have when I (finally) finish season 4. (I promise I’ll get there!)

I came back, built some of the blossom, then went back to town for the cinema to see Sinners. (Thoughts under the cut)

On the way back I spotted that there’s gonna be a horror market thing in town and I’m so intriguing but at the same time the timing is so bad. Like why’s it on a Sunday and in a few weeks? Apparently there is another one later in the year but not till just before my birthday. Maybe I’ll go visit it.

When I got back I just flopped and listened to a Who audio (The Carrionite Curse which was pretty good and all about using the power of a paradox to cause trouble) and then just flopped.

Today we went to see the ducks and while there were only three ducklings about (and one coot) there were new baby geese! There were five of them and they got really close and they were so smol and fluffy. Pics of the cuties are here

Then there was the last Andor eps and… damn. While it felt a tad subdued (theres no massacre or great space battle or anything) it did feel like a fitting culmination of the season and the series as a whole. So many people meet their fates and so much is set in motion for the events of Rogue One (which I’ll be watching again this weekend!)

And damn those last scenes…

I’m just glad some of my favs made it to the end and there weee so many amazing performances. I really hope it wins all the awards. (It has to win costume and actress awards surely)

(And I’m glad the black series Vel I got arrived in time for it. But now I do kinda want the new u-wing at some point.)

Now though I’m gonna flop a bit cause I’m tired for being out all day yesterday.
