Belated Birthday and Rogue One

[beccaelizabeth]

Today my mum and my brother could visit
so we ate birthday cake that is Free From everything one of us can't eat
and I got an extra card and shiny present

and then me and brother watched a movie

Rogue One

... I realise everyone else has watched it but I heard it would make me cry
and indeed it did a bit
like it's brilliant, but, that's... that's a difficult ending.

I'm all for hope
but
ow.

Chirrut and Baze are indeed excellent
and I liked Jyn
though it's weird having like five women in that sea of men

since when does any room look like that?


But it was very boom and argh and wow.



... also my brother has a near magical ability to make maximum mess
so we paused a couple times to deal with messes
and the paper tablecloth did its job
but now I can't get a replacement the same colors
until xmas goes gold again.

turns out table is wobbly enough that really enthusiastic writing can spill drinks.
might want to poke it and see if I can fix that.
or it might be a design flaw.



I suspect I shall be visiting Ao3 for fixit fic or happily ever after AUs.

That is a very intense movie.

For the table, if it's there are thin pieces of metal called "mending plates" that have holes for screwing into wood. Depending on where the table is wobbling, angle braces might also be good. If the wobbly leg is screwed into the table, it might just need tightening. If it's wobbly because the floor is uneven, you can get small wedges or plastic circles to level out the high leg.

If it's a metal table, once you tighten the screws I don't have other suggestions, unless you want to use superglue to stick on angle braces or mending plates.

The table is this one

so it's wood but not simple legs.

could just be it expects to be folded out for use, but we don't need it to except for christmas.

I think mending plates would do it then, you can unscrew them if you have to fold out the table.
