@sunny: Yes - I really think she reset the bar. It's a good thing. And even after all this time, the books and the story still holds up just fine.


@Totalanimefan: lol - yes, we eat lentils. We eat a lot of different things. I make dahl with them, and lately I have been making a lentil & quinoa mix with them in the Instant Pot that's pretty hearty and balanced for an easy one-pot meal. They can be pretty versatile.

    @Wildfire: they do! In my reread, I’m finding they are just as good as I remember. Not perfect, but close enough :)

    @Totalanimefan: I haven’t been to Manchester, though I’ve wanted to go for a while. I was just starting to really take tourism seriously when COVID hit and I couldn’t go anywhere;( I should start travelling again. Have you been to Manchester? I have been to Liverpool, but never to Preston.

@sunny: That's good to know. Have you seen the movies? Sometimes, because movies do what movies do (make sh*t up!), although still fairly accurate to the books (in this case), they can "warp" the storyline just enough to mess with your memory of the actual written book. Or so it seems to me, anyway... that could be why there might be the slightest disconnect between your memory and what you're reading now, maybe...??

@Wildfire: Yep :3

@totalanimefan: Well I told myself I'll get 3 sketches done today but after finishing my 2nd one I'm pooped x.x
Maybe I'll work on the third one later tonight but I'll try to post more often here now.

@Totalanimefan: Dahl is pretty awesome, isn't it? I usually make rice with the dahl if I make it... not much a fan of most pastas, including couscous for some reason.

........mouths to feed... here, usually 3-4 of us these days... but 2-3 of these mouths are also "growing" young men. Ok... 1-2 of them are growing young men. The other one is my husband who just likes to eat whatever I cook. He's a nightmare for trying to keep leftovers around, I'm tellin' ya! XD

    @Wildfire: yeah I’ve seen the movies, quite a lot actually. They’re on TV pretty often, so I must have watched them a dozen times. They’re good movies but yeah they warp the story somewhat. I wish they would make a Netflix adaptation or something, that is more faithful to the books.

@Wildfire: it's a story heavy game, that's for sure, but it's definitely still a game. it's cute though, maybe check out some gameplay on youtube if you get the chance or if you want to.

    @Totalanimefan: I will have to add Manchester to my list of places to go. It is only a short trip on the train. Tho trains are super expensive nowadays! It’s crazy how expensive trains are these days…..

    @Totalanimefan: the bus is still the same, as far as I’ve noticed. I pay by contactless and don’t actually know how much they cost exactly. How are prices in the US?

    @Totalanimefan: I have heard that your rail network is neglected :( that’s a shame, trains are such an efficient way of travelling. I haven’t been on a train since before COVID tho.

    @Totalanimefan: that’s a good point, now that we’re able to travel people are going wild. We have a good rail network but the prices let it down :( I wonder where I should go for my first trip….

    @Totalanimefan: those are all good tips! I would have to make sure I travel off peak. I think I will visit my favourite Ice Age cave museum, which isn’t too far away. It’s near Sheffield.

    @Totalanimefan: yeah it’s a day trip. It does involve quite a bit of walking but it’s a nice walk. There’s a museum and then caves, and a cafe and a river walk as well. It’s nice :)
