Total Recall*

Posted on by waternymph88

Stay at my cousins last night. We start watching Total Recall at about 10.20pm. At 10.30pm I go to bed. So still have never seen it.

Wake up this morning and have some porridge. My little cousin has a dreidel that is pink and when you spin it, it lights up and the light changes to different colours.

Pull The Fool from my Trippin’ Waite Tarot Deck. He stands for new beginnings and so is appropriate for the New Year.

Pull cards for my cousins too: the King Of Cups and Strength.

Uber home is very quick and then meditate and sleep. Unpack my suitcase. Need to put the washing away.

This month’s Goddess Collective module is Intuitive Exercise so I watch Mel’s video.

Finish watching You and start The Witcher.

Happy New Year 🥳 everyone!

*1990. Feature film. Stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone. Based on a short story by Philip K Dick We Can Remember It For You Wholesale. Directed by Paul Verhoeven.

Hidden Bodies*

Have a lovely walk with Dolly. We walk around Primrose Hill. Kiss and cuddle her. Love her so much.

Mum brings me back to the flat. Have lunch and do my Tarot Challenge. Today I pull the Ace Of Swords 🗡 from The Naked Heart 💓 Tarot Deck. Like all aces, this one stands for new beginnings. Happy New Year everyone.

I’m going to my aunt and uncle and from there on to my cousins. Tonight we are going to watch a film 🎥 to round off the decade. Am going to stay the night there.

Pack my tiny suitcase 🧳 and it’s at the foot of my bed. Cleaner comes today so have clean 🧼 and tidy house 🏡. Watch a couple more episodes of You. It’s so good: I don’t want it to end.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Dead Man’s Mirror*

Some photos from last night:

We have fun. It’s good to be out and wearing my Vivienne Westwood dress. We watch the fireworks at midnight from the rooftop of the club, which is good.

Get home about 1.30am but wake up at six o’clock. Read my book – The Word Is Murder. Watch Poirot in Dead Man’s Mirror whilst I wait for the gym to open.

Walk to gym. Here I am:

Do four sets of all my weights and then walk home.

Have lunch and a sleep. Wake up feeling a bit more human.

Now I’m watching Silent Witness and knitting. New scarf for Dolly’s owner is coming along well:

Hope that can finish it and give it to her before winter is over.

Happy New Year everyone!

Do Spin and Barre. See photos.

Then Dad drops me back at the flat and I watch a Silent Witness whilst knitting. Have spinach, felafel, hummus and avocado for lunch.

Bring my sequinned Rixo dress and my black boots and some tights back to the flat to wear for New Year’s Eve when I’m going to a Private Members’ Club with brother’s best friend. Am looking forward to it. Also bring my fake hair.

See my fluffy for a quick chat before heading back to the flat. I love that fluffy monster to distraction. Here he is last night:

Sleep. Wake up and have a bath.

Happy Saturday everyone!

*1960. By Agatha Christie. Title story in a short story collection. A Hercule Poirot mystery.

Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?*

Posted on by waternymph88

Have a pleasant New Year’s Eve in my warm flat, watching Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? followed by a couple of episodes of the first series of Grantchester and knitting. Am in bed by ten thirty or so.

Wake up this morning and go to Pilates, which is good. Left it out of my Resolutions I think but am aiming to attend Pilates more regularly.

Here is my fluffy monster three years ago today:

Here I am at Pilates. See also attached photo.

Have started watching Feud about the relationship between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford and am going to continue with that this afternoon and evening. It’s wonderful.

Happy New Year’s Day everyone!

New Year’s Eves Of The Past

  1. Trenton Moss’s house party with all my chums in Radlett when we were 15. Everyone was there. Best NYE ever probably.
  2. A Black Tie Company Ball Aged sixteen with many friends.
  3. Tribal Gathering aged 17 with Emily, Suzy and lots of chums at Alexandra Palace.
  4. Mount Universe aged 18 with the crew from the previous year, also at Alexandra Palace.
  5. World Dance with Dave aged 19 at Three Mills Studios.
  6. The Millenium aged 20 with Lily in Brighton – we left the party where all my chums were. It turned into a bit of a disaster but was with my bestie.
  7. Party at the parentals with my brother, Dave, Lily and loads of our friends. Wore my Karen Millen corset and my brother had to throw out some troublemakers.
  8. Safari with parentals and brother.
  9. Eilat a couple of times with family.
  10. A couple of nights in with boyfriends: one with Seb and one with a much younger manic depressive boyfriend when we watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
  11. One on own when I woke up and did loads of writing the next day.
  12. One with Wayne at a terrible Jewish party.
  13. Another terrible Jewish party.
  14. One in Amsterdam with my cousins when I was in my first year at Oxford. Think we went to the Buddha Bar.
  15. Last year with Mary and Cato, dogsitting, knitting and watching Blue Planet:

So this year I’ll be on own in the flat.

Am listening to The Kinks and drinking lemon squash.

Going to watch Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? and knit and wake up to go to Pilates tomorrow.

Here is baby fluffy monster four years ago today:

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!
