Weather is crappy, so we did not have a family picnic in the park as was semi-planned. Mourn.
We had one in the kitchen instead. Which essentially meant lots of plates of everything everywhere and people tripping over each other attempting to get to these plates and minor knife skirmishes, but it was tasty mm, and fun. Many people are here. Katie and dad and mum and Jack and Jack's father and grandma. And the dog. Close quarters. I escape to my room whenever possible.
Am taking a break at the moment from Harry Potter, because I cannot read entire books in one go, and I cannot understand people who do. Perhaps if it is a short story and there is a chance of finishing it, but big books? No. Especially not children's books. The words just blur together! And the characters go all two-dimensional and things keep happening but I forget to care. I need time between chapters - not a lot, but some, to process and think and consider and give it all layers, you know? Anywho. I would watch episodes of Angel, but for some reason right now I can only do that after dark. Perhaps I am channelling Angel. I don't know. Also I am slightly worried because I am approaching the episodes with Lindsey now, and there aren't that many, and as soon as I do they will be over! And I won't really be able to rewatch them again and again because I should probably get out of the house into that sunlight thing before I sort of shrivel. This was a lot easier when the sun was actually shining and outside was pretty. Hmph.
