The Rebel Badge Club

Some time ago, before my head went wonky I bought the first volume of the Rebel Badge Club book. Merit badges for adults - winner! I mean, I have a camp blanket full of my Brownie and Guide badges and there's plenty of space too. 

So I've set up this blog to keep my Rebel Badge Work separate from the other stuff I'm going on about. Especially as I'm finding I have a bit more energy these days - so I can do a bit more badge work. 

I'm not going to list everything I'm working on as I'm doing bits from a few badges - but when I complete something it'll appear here in its own post with tags. 

Let's see how I get on... fortunately I'm good at taking photos of badges. Alas, I can't remember what half of these ones are other than I chose them wisely!

I'm out of practice reviewing things and waffling coherently, so let's see how we get on with Extraordinary. Extraordinary is streaming now on Disney + - it's a story of people who get various magical powers when they turn 18 which may or may not be useful. The story centres around Jen who, in her twenties still doesn't have her power. Jen shares a flat with Carrie, Kash and finally Jizzlord, a cat who shapeshifts into a human who has no recollection of his previous life. Mainly as he has been a cat for several years.  Each episode is around the 30 minute mark, enough time for a plot, conclusion and a decent story arc running across the eight episodes. Nothing is too dragged out. I found myself laughing out loud a lot - and also feeling sympathy with some of the characters.  Some turn their powers to their advantage whereas others don't quite as much. This bodes well for Series 2 and other characters coming into the story when they find ways to use their powers.  If...

Listy McListyface

 Lists, lists, lists. I've never been very good at keeping up to date lists and this year is even worse than usual. I'm struggling with typing (long nails, no clippers) and I can't spell any more. The things I didn't have to think about I currently am and it's frustrating. Add to this I'm being pretty slow at the moment and I feel like I'm holding myself back. I try explaining it to those close to me who respond "it's okay to be slow, nobody expects it of you" which wasn't what I was saying at all. So let's try saying it's like climbing a tree but the bark is really slippy.  And very, very slooooowwwwww. Still here though....

Film Lover Badge (1)

I think I dismissed this badge as I knew I wouldn't get to the cinema, though DUH. Here we are at home with several streaming services so I think maybe I can do this badge after all? Anyway, if this doesn't apply it can sit in limbo.  Yesterday my sister and I went to the cinema to see 'The Unlikely Pilgramage of Harold Fry' - a title I was wary of as I knew the general plot. Harold Fry walks most of the country to see his old workmate and friend Queenie who is dying of cancer. With everything I'm going through at the moment I wasn't sure whether it might upset me, fortunately friends reassured me that it's part of the plot (obviously) but doesn't go into any detail. So with that information we went to check it out.  Harold Fry is a retired pensioner - he gets a letter from his old friend Queenie who lets him know she has terminal cancer. Harold replies straight away - by letter of course, and heads out to post it. At this point he meets someone who insp...
