Holiday day

I had today off as annual leave (as I realised quite late that I had several hours left to use before end of August and thus needed to spread them out) which has been nice though fairly uneventful. 

• Did some laundry
• Washed dishes
• Had a smear test (ouch, but the nurse was very nice and quick)
• Mended some clothes
• Re-organised my jewellery and perfumes
• Went to see Men in Black International at the cinema. Was entertained, though not overly impressed. I liked the dynamic between H and M, and Emma Thompson as O was excellent.
• Skyped with mum
• Been idly writing a Good Omens ficlet, though I think it may turn into a longer thing, we'll see
• Watching Atomic Blonde on Netflix

I'm wondering whether making some kind of 'summer to do' list would make me feel better or not. Pros: lists always make me feel better. Cons: depressing to see all the things I should do and then not achieving them. Pros: soothing. Cons: will get overly ambitious. Pros: feeling organised. Cons: displacement activity.  

I'm also wondering what to post about for the rest of the month. I mean...

• Ficlets as I write them, yes
• Writing updates re my two longer fandomtrumpshate projects (currently at 1k on the first one, which is SGA McKay/Lorne)
• Photos once I get to Finland
• Oh, maybe actual photos of my new house? As I'm going to tidy it up a bit before leaving anyway
• Fic recs. May do another round of Kat Recs All The Things, it's been several years and I've read a lot of good shit
• Something else? Suggestions on a postcard...

Glad you had a nice day off! Is Atomic Blonde worth a look? I sae it came on Netflix the other day

Yeah I felt the same with the to do list

Ohh those all sound like good ideas 🖤

Thank you, it was good.

Yes, I'd say so, although it is very violent and ending wasn't quite to my liking. I have a few more thoughts on the movie in today's post.

I used to do monthly lists on LJ a few years ago, and I use Trello a lot at the moment but... we'll see.

Ohh I’ll give it a read

I started to do monthly to do lists this year... they lasted two months cause I got hardly anything done

I would welcome fic recs :D :D

Your McKay/Lorne fic will certainly be read by me when you post!

How about a small Finland travel post? As in places you think are worth seeing and things worth experiencing.

Excellent, I think I will definitely do a week of fic recs, perhaps next week. There's tons of old stuff under the relevant tag btw.

Thanks! Need to write it first, this is also on the 'to do' list...

That's a cool idea, I was just giving some recommendations to a friend who was in Finland. I'll have a think.
