Fun stuff

It's been extra bright in this room today. The snow outside is *glowing*.

Make Your Own Bayeux Tapestry! I've seen this before, but it's still fun.

paint.wtf In which you draw something prompted by... the AI? And it judges the result. My first offering was a dinosaur parked on an elephant, and for some reason it adorned me with the name Excited Kiwi.

Such is the life we lead.

My husband heard about this on the Radio 4 news this morning.

It's A Sin

To my surprise, my sister recommended to me the Channel 4 series It's A Sin. Yes, the one with an incredible number of cute boys having sex with one another.

We just finished watching it, and I still have tears. It's a heartrending show about young men in the '80s, gay and free and happy in London, and at first, taking no notice of this weird stuff about Americans dying of some disease that only affects Homosexuals. And maybe Haitians and Haemophiliacs.

My sis said it really reminded her of 'how it was' back then. I got married in 1983 and started to reproduce not very long afterwards, so it wasn't my world, but my sister didn't settle down until the 1990s. And her flatmate, while she lived in London in the '80s, was a nurse in an AIDS ward (a thing I had not known).

It's a short series, only five episodes, and yes, it's heartrending. Watch it, if you haven't. Still on Catch-up. Well, you probably have—I'm the one who's always late getting to this stuff.
