the force awakens

I had never seen a Star Wars film before. These were my thoughts during The Force Awakens:

10/01/2016 by Charlotte Leave a Comment

Star Tours - Disneyland Tokyo1. I am going to read every word as it flies towards me during this intro. That is the least I can do.

2. This is actually so much easier than reading text going straight down a page. These guys clearly know what they’re doing; I am optimistic about the rest of the film.

3. Is the guy from Inside Llewyn Davis Luke Skywalker? If he is, I’ve found him.

4. I really like the Storm Troopers’ outfits. They look so smooth. I’d really like to clean one.

5. Is that Darth Vader? I don’t think so but he does look a lot like him. He just doesn’t sound as ‘I’m breathing underwater whilst wearing a snorkel’ as I think he should…

6. Everything about this desert makes me feel stressed. Where are we going for supplies here? The odds of there being a Starbucks feel very low.

7. Oh no, Finn, that does not look like drinking water. If you manage to get through this without a stomach upset then you have much stronger insides than I do.

8. I like this little beepy football with a head, he seems friendly.

9. Looking at the food on offer, I reckon it would be hard to live on Jakku with a wheat intolerance.

10. I also really like the way the Storm Troopers sound when they run. Like it’s a brand new floor beneath them. (Note to self: They’re baddies. I don’t think I’m meant to like them at all).

11. I like this girl, she doesn’t put up with sexism in the workplace.

12. Also, is she spelling Ray like Charles or Rey like Lane Del? I need to google this.

13. Only in a film would a person (Han Solo) stop mid-crossfire to comment that he is enjoying using this particular gun. We’ll talk about it later, Han!

14. I’m laughing at a joke in a Star Wars film! (BB8’s flame thumbs up). I didn’t think there would be jokes!

15. I could go from nought to Chewbacca with just one can of hairspray.

16. If I was Poe, I would want that jacket back. Leather is NOT cheap.

17. Hang on, is that a lightsaber in that box? Where’s the rest of it?

18. Oh no look, he’s definitely not Darth Vader because that’s Darth Vader’s melted mask thing. Well done Charlotte, you’re practically an expert already.

19. Ooh it’s Adam from Girls! He must have been hot in that hat.

20. I did not realise that (Not Darth Vader) had a boss. I thought he was the boss. Perhaps this explains why he’s always so angry.

21. Oh my gosh, you press that little button to turn the lightsaber on! That is so clever.

22. Princess Leia’s hair must take HOURS.

23. I think the golden robot is C-3P0. Or is it SeethreepeeOH?

24. Ooh, they’re doing a lightsaber fight. I wonder if this will give me a headache – strip lights always do.

25. Now that I know that having The Force means that you can tell people what to do, I WANT IT.

I just took my child to Clarks to buy her first pa I just took my child to Clarks to buy her first pair of school shoes. I am officially a grown up.
It's happened. We've reached the stage where I can It's happened. We've reached the stage where I can take Isla to a café and she'll do some drawing while I do some writing. Only a little bit of course and with plenty of breaks for me to attempt to sketch unicorns (which to be clear I very much enjoyed) but it's a start. How nice to suddenly find ourselves here. ❤️

I took this picture to remind me of what's been on I took this picture to remind me of what's been one of my absolute favourite parts of maternity leave, with both babies - killing time in the late afternoon watching episodes of Friends I've seen 4 billion times. ❤️

I'm experiencing all of the feelings at the moment because maternity leave is coming to an end for me very soon and Joseph is about to turn 1. I've attempted to process all this by writing what is essentially a diary entry about it. You can read it at nothinggoodrhymeswithcharlotte.com

Any tips/(kind) views/words of wisdom/large tubs of biscuits very welcome. 

Much love 💛

I had an idea a few months ago to write something I had an idea a few months ago to write something about all the thoughts and feelings I have about having two children. Like a diary entry I can look back on and even show Isla and Joseph in years to come. Of course the main thing to say is: You don't get a lot of free time when you have two small people to look after. So it's taken me a while to get this done. But now that I have my sense of achievement is HIGH  so I'm here to share it. You can read it if you wish at nothinggoodrhymeswithcharlotte.com
Much love x
