Sunrise late November...
Yes, still here, with a very brief roundup of the end of a very very busy manic year.
So many of these pics are so me...
Our 33rd anniversary was great. We went with amber: I gave Ken a really good piece of the gem (in a little round Indian wooden box), and he gave me a bottle of amber oil perfume -
Wonderfully blingy bottle (which I'll have to make room for in the display case when it's empty) and gorgeous fragrance.
We had lunch at the Black Castle, now a little run down (not surprising after the last few years) but the atmosphere is as warm and comforting as ever and the food wonderful! Had perfectly cooked rare rump steak with delicious cheesy chips, and their choctastic ice-cream/cream/maltesers/biscuit/chocolate dessert...
Yule...
Joke here, for anyone that remembers the effect of moonlight on Saiyajin...
One of Kai's presents, bought as a sort of calming fidjit. This is what he did with it...
Watched the Doctor Who special... Hm. Well, we thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I can't stand Catherine Tate and Donna is my least favourite companion. But the new Doctor looks like he's going to be really really good! Cheeky grin, sparkling eyes, and a wonderful compassionate, quirky, intriguing nature. The first episode (the one with the goblins) was fun and bears that first impression out nicely. Looking forwards to the series.
On the subject of Doctor Who, Kai and I found a little angel in the CLIC charity shop in Keynsham. Looks kind of sweet at first sight...
... until you see the eyes...
Shades of the Weeping Angels, anyone?
Media
We watched ALL the Star Wars films in order. No intention of watching them again, but it was good to finish them.
Sue gave me Guardians of the Galaxy 3 for Yule, which we watched and thoroughly enjoyed. It's an interesting MCU thing, strangely heart-wrenching in places, and a good way to end the phenomenon. I don't think we're likely to bother with any forthcoming MCU films, as what I've read and seen so far hasn't been terribly appealing, but we'll see.
Currently working our way through Warehouse 13: reached season 4. I only remember seasons 1 and 2, so it's all quite new and intriguing. I love the way the characters keep referring to other films and series - "allons y" anyone?
Hoping to re-watch Good Omens 1 today, as I found series 2 online and we're itching to watch it (hopefully tomorrow)
Will finish here for now. Wishing everyone a really good, happy and healthy 2024!
Catch you later.

That angel is seriously disturbing! I wasn't quite as enamoured of the Christmas Doctor Who although it was a fun romp. The new Doctor didn't quite grab me but I'm looking forward to being more convinced when the new series starts. The actor seems a very nice person from what I've seen of him. On a related note, the Imagine episode focused on RTD was very interesting.
Glad you are enjoying Warehouse 13; I found it enormous fun.
Sue
