Champions, Strikes and Naughty Characters

 Great film at Cineworld last night. 'Champions' with Woody Harrelson. Funny and moving. Lovely film.

We watched the finale of 'The Last of Us' when I got home. I see it has a 9.0 rating on IMDB. I'm not surprised. Great dystopian series if you haven't seen it yet, although I think it's on Sky Atlantic so not available to everyone. Shame.

I'm looking forward to the new Luther film on Netflix, although I think we have 'Endeavour' to look forward to next. We are away this weekend, from Friday afternoon (70s weekend at Butlins with our neighbours Ruth and Dave - we all have outfits lol), so it might need to be Luther first because I don't want to start Endeavour and wait all weekend for the final episode.

It's a teachers' strike day today so I'm over at Nikki's looking after the boys. At this precise moment, they are playing really nicely on the PS5 (Minecraft) so I'm taking advantage and writing this. I will need to drag them out before too long, to go and get Leia and we can walk Molly and Leia together, maybe at the Rec. It's not too cold out today so that's a bonus.

I finished instalment one of the serial yesterday and edited it. There are some words that I'm not sure about - context etc - (Indian Hindu) so I asked about and someone has kindly offered to look at them for me. So kind. I'm always very worried about getting things wrong when I write about different cultures or religions. Now I need to go through and rewrite the main synopsis and character synopses because, as usual, once started, the story has had a mind of its own. One character has done something entirely unexpected and very naughty, which has given me a conflict that I hadn't envisaged. Very useful! lol

Off to cook lunch for the boys, then take everyone out for a walk. I'm out at our local AMDRAM theatre The Swan tonight, which is always absolutely brilliant. So reasonably priced and always amazing value as the actors are incredible. Tonight is 'The Hollow' by Agatha Christie, still the bestselling novelist of all time. Genius. Very excited. I go with a lovely group of ladies from the tennis club I used to play at, so it's doubly fun as I get a chance to catch-up as well.
