This and That

[imhilien]

We had daylight saving last week with the clocks turned back an hour. The mornings are lighter again, but the suddenly darker evenings always take some getting used to. My electric blanket is being used again and so is my scarfs.

So, new Star Wars trailer. Looks interesting! The title 'Rise of Skywalker' has been debated a lot and could refer to: a) The new title of Force users, b) A  new spaceship (Sir, the Skywalker is approaching! Run away!) or c) Angry at being fridged* in 'Attack of the Clones' the ghost of Shmi Skywalker is back for vengeance.

I recently saw and enjoyed the film 'Woman at War' which is (deep breath) an Icelandic eco-thriller comedy. Featuring a middle-aged Katniss Everdeen-type character in sensible jumpers with her bow and arrow. Lovely landscape. Subtitled of course.


*When a female character is killed to further the storyline of a man. I saw this in a book trilogy once, the main character was a woman - no, sorry, she has to go because the trilogy is really about a minor male character who turns up. I didn't read the third book.

I wish we were heading back into winter rather than in to a boiling hot summer... but then I think we always want what we don't have.

Very true. ::nods::

What's the weather like there? This autumn has been wonderful here - day after day of clear, fine, sunny weather. It's getting cold at night though - I'm breaking out the Star Wars winter pyjamas tonight.

And... happy birthday! I hope there's lot of chocolate, possibly including hot.

We've got similar weather, it's great. Star Wars pjs? Hooray!

Thank you. :)

I have blue for science and Greg has red for engineering. :-D

On the other side of the world I enjoy the longer evenings, and starting to prepare my garden.

The Star Wars trailer was interesting.
Another possibility for Skywalker: Ben Solo is the last in line. Should there be redemption in the cards, it could refer to him.

All the best for your garden. :)

It could refer to Ben Solo, yes...
