So I found a couple of petitions that I'm hoping that my Dreamwidth friends will sign and spread the word about them.

Scorpion

Lucifer

Thank you for your help, and even if you don't want to sign if you could help spread the word, I would appreciate it.

I have decided to join the Space Swap Challenge 2018, it was a last minute decision, but luckily I remembered to sign up before the deadline.

I am exhausted and looking forward to going on holiday in June; hence my countdown has started early although I have three months to go. Especially since I am so over the winter weather (it plays havoc with my sore knees).

I'm generally not a big fan of sport (apart from Rugby), but I've been watching some of the Olympics. Enjoyed watching the figure skating and hockey. Go Team GB! Lol.

My aunt started day care once a week (for 14 weeks), so it gives me some respite during the afternoon.

Haven't been able to watch much TV but did catch Everything Sucks on Netflix it was alright but still prefer Stranger Things.

So I'm really trying to keep my New Year resolutions, one is keeping up with this journal. I've decided that although I may not update it daily, I will try at least to do a weekly edition, lol.

Games

Right now I'm playing Lego Indiana Jones for the 2ds, and it's quite addictive. Finished the CSI game but will probably replay just to get 100% in all cases (currently, I'm in the 80% bracket so not to bad for my first attempt.)

Hoping to get back into playing Hidden Object games as I find those quite relaxing.

Films

Got Wonder Woman for Christmas on DVD so looking forward to watching that.

TV

Netflix UK released Friends so will probably binge watch that in the future. Can't wait until later this month when Call the Midwife starts again. Hoping to watch Black Mirror as well.

In other news got a nice start to the New Year as two people sent me kudos on a couple of my fics. Although I've only written for challenges so far, I may see if inspiration hits me and trying writing again soon.

Finally got a few moments to myself so thought I'd let you all know I'm still alive, lol.

Caught up on a few TV shows so I'm happy with myself :).

Scorpion - Thanks to Netflix UK I re-watched season 3 although we'll probably have to wait a long time for season 4.

Star Trek Discovery - Finding I like this a lot better than I thought I would, not sure about the first couple of episodes but by the end I was enjoying it a lot more (again thanks to Netflix). Can't wait until January for the new episodes to start.

Stranger Things - I had to binge watch season 1 first as I hadn't actually watched this show before. When season 2 came on Netflix I decided to give it a go. Loved the throwback to the 80's theme (especially since I was an 80's kid).

Not only still playing Hidden Object Games I have also gotten back into Conceptis puzzles such as Link-A-Pix and Dot to Dot.

Started my Christmas shopping early so hopefully will miss the big rush in December. So far have my Mum's, Gran's, Sister's and most of my Dad's presents. Of course I'll be spoiling Sami but will wait until December to get her presents (in case she tries to find them) lol.

Looks like I'll be going on holiday in June so that's something to look forward too. Dad booked a cottage for a week in Yorkshire (Pickering). I love Scarborough and the Yorkshire Moors since we started going on holiday there when I was a child so can't wait to see how much it's changed over the years.

Today I got a pleasant surprise in the post as my Scorpion season 3 DVD arrived so finally able to catch up (although it's started back in America, living in Scotland means I will have to wait a while for season 4). Also bought Lucifer season 1 & 2 for my dads Christmas as since both mum and I are hooked we think he'll enjoy it too.

It's my sisters birthday this month as do bought Red Dwarf Back to Earth for her as she has now watched all the episodes that are on Netflix and is eager to catch up.

Also bought a new laptop for myself which is lucky as my old one is almost at breaking point, lol. It turned up just in time for my new DVDs and with a 17-inch screen will allow me much better viewing than my previous 15-inch screen.

Finished working on my Femslash Exchange fic and with some editing to do should have it posted within the next couple of days, just in time for the deadline PHEW!

Today we had the Defend Dunfermline Festival which was to promote the joining of Polish and Scottish soldiers during WW2. Took my dad down to visit as he had been in the Territorial Army when I was younger and we both found it very interesting. Especially as his first uniform after he joined the TA was a WW2 era soldiers uniform.










It was nice to see the local children also getting involved and learning about the war.

I've caught up to the end of season 2 Scorpion, although Netflix UK doesn't have season 3 yet so I'll have to find it on another site or wait for the DVD coming in September, lol.

Started Christmas shopping already as I've bought my dad the combined season 1 & 2 of Lucifer as I'm sure he'll enjoy it.

Without my aunt this week as she's gone down to my uncle's house to stay for a short holiday, so hopefully I can get a bit more writing done and catch up on some chores.

My poor dog Sami has cut her paw a little, luckily it's just a scrape, but I'm putting Anti-Bacterial spray on it just in case. So she is currently being spoilt rotten and is enjoying sleeping in my room instead of her bed downstairs so that I can keep an eye on her. Doesn't seem to be bothering her much so hopefully within a week it will have healed.

Started my Christmas shopping (sort of) as I'm planning a couple of small cross stitch projects for my Aunt and Gran. I typically make them a Christmas Card or a bookmark but not decided on a pattern yet.

We're back to the lovely Scottish weather pattern of pouring rain, lol. I'm thankful in some ways as it means it's not as muggy at night.

About halfway through of Scorpion season 2 (up to episode 12) which is funny as tonight I will be watching a Christmas episode in July, lol.

Also heard about Stargate turning 20 - can't believe that it's been that many years already. Wish it was still being recorded but heard we might be getting a new series Stargate Origins so that might be worth a watch.

Spoilers ahead for those who have not heard the news about the new Doctor!


So today we found out that the new Doctor will be a woman played by Jodie Whittaker of Broadchurch fame. I never watched Broadchurch but will probably watch her in Doctor Who to give her a chance. I'm a bit behind the programme as I stopped watching it a while ago - just after David Tennant left but saw the odd show from Matt Smith and recently Peter Capaldi.

Almost finish season 1 of Scorpion will watch the last episode tonight and start season 2 tomorrow. Trying to extend my viewing until most of the programmes start back in September/October time.

Will catch up with some chores this weekend - do a pile of washing, etc. So having a quiet weekend hopefully.

Thanks to my dad I now have a new show and ship - Scorpion (Walter/Paige & Happy/Toby}. Thanks to Netflix I can watch the first two seasons but will have to wait for season 3.

Finished up my fic entry for Not For Prime Time, not started on Rare Pairs yet but hope to start this week. Another exchange has caught my eye - GenExchange so might sign up for that.

My aunt hasn't been feeling well the past couple of weeks which is why I've not been able to post recently. However she seems to be over the worst of the bug, so hopefully, things will get back to normal, lol.

Recently our town had it's local children's gala where all the local primary school children march down the high street (under their school banners) to Pittencrieff Park (AKA the Glen) which they have a picnic and play games. I just found out it is apparently the oldest in Scotland. It's nice to see the children carrying on the tradition, and I've fond memories of taking part myself.

Today I managed to finish my first draft for the Not For Prime Time Exchange, so I'll be spending the rest of the weekend editing my work.

Up to episode 9 of Orange is the New Black season 5, starting to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine, noticed a new show coming onto Netflix called Glow so might give that a try.

Trying to get back into cooking but my depression has been kicking my butt lately as well as my IBS problems once we get better weather it'll help.

I might start some of my cross stitch projects again as it will contribute to keeping my mind busy.
