Juste un petit coucou

Taking advantage of a very slow morning at work and being on my lonesome in the office at the moment to be sneaky and post a little something.

Hope everyone's doing well. I'm having a nice week meself. It's a week of celebrations: goddaughter's birthday, my birthday, Mother's Day. Many occasions to see family and have a good time :) That is, we're supposed to gather for Chiara's birthday on Saturday with everyone, except that what with the fuel strike and the fuel shortage in some parts of France, the family members living an hour away might not be able to come. They're thinking they'll have to stock for work as they're being rationed. So let's hope it won't come to that.

Fannish wise, we've seen X-Men: Apocalypse over the weekend and even though XMFC remains my favourite, I enjoyed that new installment. One of the things I appreciated the most was the fact that the Cherik is still strong with this one. Erik/Charles 4ever ♥ Then again, I'm totally biased, so.

We've also seen CA:CW again and I'm still trying to find the Steve/Bucky fic of my heart (or T'Challa/Bucky, I would love some T'Challa/Bucky. Or Tony/Bucky. Basically, Bucky is this fandom little black dress for me) but it's proving rather difficult.

I've started watching GoT! I've read the first four books and always thought I'd join the bandwagon and watch the adaptation then never came around to do it. But after hearing what happened at the end of season 5, I had to see for myself and I kept watching, I'm now up-to-date with season 6. I do understand why everyone's raving about the tv show, I'll admit. I mean, I love the books but the tv show is gripping too.

What else? I've downloaded the POI episodes that aired so far but haven't watched them yet so I have to get on that. Same thing with 12 Monkeys. I'm also behind on Penny Dreadful. And there's Preacher that I'd like to try.

Also, does anyone know what's happening with the new series of The Musketeers? It's been airing over at Netflix in some countries, on tv in some others and still no appearance on British screens? I don't get how it's working.

As usual, so many shows to watch, so few free hours in a day to watch them!
