The Extreme Staycation

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown How is everyone getting on with their lockdown bucket lists? I still haven't watched Star Wars. The planted things are growing so that's good. The Humax box is hovering between 18-19% free which I'm fairly pleased with. I'm getting a "Miranda Tan" as my friends kindly call it - i.e. a slightly darker shade of white My weekly meal plans are involving fewer recipe books as I'm losing motivation to try a new recipe. However, I've baked new cookie and cake recipes which went excellently, so clearly, treats are where it's at.

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown May the 4th be with you - AKA Star Wars Day OK, I am going to admit something pretty huge - I've never seen Star Wars. Yes.  I know.  I'm sorry. Why?  Honestly, I don't know.  I think I saw some of one of the original three when I was young as I remember liking R2-D2 and C-3PO.  Then I went to see Episode 1 at the cinema with a friend in 1999 who was a big Star Wars fan and I thought it was... a bit pants. I know that it has been resolutely derided by the majority of Star Wars fans and critics as being the worst one but it really put me off. However, as a self-confessed film fan/nerd I know that I need to see them, certainly the original three, as they are such hugely important film and cultural reference points.  So, I am going to watch them before the lockdown ends, I have decided!
