ok lol
after all that i didn't actually tell myself the story of what i have to do today
you see the hubris. i was like "i have described the problem huzzah" check a thing off the list move on.
part of the thing i was describing was how lists don't work for me. so like. in the text of that post was me explaining that i had to do a thing in order to function. and then. then! i didn't do that thing.
ok so today what do i have to do! a lot of it i have already done on sheer momentum but now i have been stymied by something and have to regroup.
i have to load and run the dishwasher, check!
i have to put in a load of laundry, check!
i have to go over to my own house, bringing a number of items which i had for traveling but which should not wind up at dude's mom's house, check!
I am going to bemusedly greet the electrical inspector for the town, who was supposed to be rescheduled and not come today, and give him a little tour of the things the electrician said weren't ready to be inspected, and he's going to say oh yes, I see what he was going for, he's done a lot of stuff already, isn't this nice, well I'll be back, have him call me when he's done those two things he didn't get to, everything else looks really good. This will derail me a bit, but I will persevere.
whilst at the house, i am going to cut out fabric to make my own not-quite-floorcloth to go under the microwave, since i want to put something there before i do anything else, and i hate the paltry shelf-liner offerings actually in stock anywhere in town, and i am too decision-paralysised to actually buy anything online rn. check! (finished measurements will be 26.5x23". I found enough white canvas for this, and have soaked and ironed it in accordance with the tutorial, but i am going to paint it and then sew it to an unpainted backing, which I hope will protect the shelf surface, as I don't need this shelf to be grippy since it's just to protect the painted surface from the microwave and whatever winds up next to it. So the backing is an old mostly-polyester sheet, somewhat pilled with wear, because i know that won't be slippery but also won't scratch the surface.)
I was going to then prime this canvas, but I don't... have any primer? This is false, I know I do, but damned if I know where it would be. I have to stop by a hardware store for paint chips and polyurethane anyway, so now I guess I'll get some primer. I don't think I need art store primer for this at all.
i have terrible acrylic craft paints but i am not trying to do anything wildly sophisticated. in fact i'm not sure what i'm trying to do. actually i could get little sample pots of a couple of the colors i'm considering at the hardware store, paint smallish swatches on the wall, and then paint this cloth with the leftovers, LOL. That might actually be the thing to do???
Dude might be annoyed if I'm swatching without even having consulted with him but 1) i know what he likes and 2) he's so busy rn he won't even put his plate in the dishwasher or talk to me about what groceries to buy so like, he doesn't have the energy to care, and anyway you can just paint right back over swatches and in fact I will do so, so whatever. Possibly the swatches will just give him something to disagree with but when you are as fatigued-in-general as he is, often that is the best way to get a decision made!
(heck what if i painted the whole shelf liner cloth a gradient between two of the adjacent swatch colors and then stenciled a doily over it in metallic gold that'd be a pretty sick shelf liner pattern)
ANYWAY the story of what else i have to do today is that i also have to go to the grocery store. so if i manage both the grocery store and the hardware store before noon i'm gonna be the fucking champion of the fucking world i tell you what. but that is my goal. i should do the hardware store first so the groceries don't have to sit in the car and get warm but that feels contrary because the grocery store is more urgent. but no, i'm going to do the hardware store first because i am a little bitch and can do what i want. and i won't forget the groceries after that. (famous last words, stay tuned to see if i do)

West Wittering Beach
Tumblr media
Location
Located at the mouth of Chichester Harbour, West Wittering has an attractive sandy beach with clear waters. Although largely undeveloped, the facilities include toilets, showers, parking and a café.
West Wittering is a popular spot for bird-watching, with many waders and wildfowl visiting during the migratory season.
Facilities Include:
Cafe/restaurant
Toilets
First-aid point
Showers
Parking
There is a very large car park that runs along the edge of the beach. There are disabled parking spaces near the entrance, next to the main facilities. Parking can be pricy and is not free for blue badge holders. There's a pay machine near the entrance, but I found the easiest way to pay was by scanning the QR code on the parking signs. You can also pay via their website, up to 48 hours after you leave.
All-day parking costs, weekdays/weekends:
£3.15/£6.45 1st Nov-31st Mar
£7.30/£11 Apr-Oct
£12.40/£14 1st May-30th Sep
Accessibility
You can access the beach from many places along the carpark, so there is not a long distance needed walk. Access is fairly easy over the sand dunes, but there is limited disabled access for wheelchair users. The car park is very large, so finding a space shouldn't be an issue; you can use the car to access different places along the beach to save you walking, as well as visiting various facilities. When the tide is out, it can be a long walk to reach the seafront.
Conclusion
Overall, West Wittering Beach is a great place to visit for those who struggle to walk long distances, with parking all along the beachfront. It’s an ideal beach for sunbathing and paddling; as well as waters-ports such as surfing, windsurfing and kite-surfing, for more able visitors when conditions are right. The water is very clear and as the tide retreats, it leaves shallow lagoons of warm water - perfect for kids to splash and play.
This location may not be best for wheelchair users, but some other options along the south coast could be Brighton or Seaford.

I just wish I were brave enough to talk about the fandom stuff I want to talk about. I’m not sure why I don’t (well, ok, it’s probably the executive dysfunction and social anxiety problems). I keep thinking of posts I want to make but then I don’t write them, or when I try to write them they seem incoherent.
Also, I’m probably not brave enough to tag them with the official fandom tags, but I’d like to be able to use some sort of personal tag. I just can’t seem to think of good ones and when I finally do I forget them soon after. Why is deciding how to tag hard? Why do I have to overthink everything?
Anyway, I think I might tag my grishaverse posts גרישאווערס (or to be cute, גרישאווערס צאָרעס, bc I do have grishaverse troubles!) That will certainly keep them out of the primary fandom tags (particularly since I’m not ever sure if its a correct transliteration of grishaverse) and its appropriate since a lot of my thoughts are related to the Jewish-persecution metaphor Bardugo keeps kinda sorta admitting to in interviews (and then soft-pedalling, possibly for the same reasons I have grishaverse tsuris).

you know what? the bodysnatching in edinburgh minisode is still my favourite flashback out of them all. i know we all love bildad and 1941, but there's something about the 1827 flashback that just speaks to me more.
crowley taking aziraphale to the graveyard just because he thought he'd be amused by the statue of gabriel that just so happens to double as a romantic date? the depiction of bodysnatching in a neutral/logical way - acknowledging that it's a shitty thing, but a shitty thing that needs to be done for the advancement of medicine? getting to see aziraphale's moral compass and how he sees the world adjusting in real time? crowley dressing in the latest fashions with his hair styled in a lord byron-esque way? i love all of it so much

Foreshadowing, out of order?
In storytelling, is there a single word that means "the opposite of foreshadowing"?
WARNING: in trying to wrap my head around this, there will be wittering!!!
Wikipedia tells me that a flashback is a method of foreshadowing.
The Bullet Catch in the NZF minisode, being a flashback as well as told before the "present day" [speculated] event it sets up a clue for, well, that's what I've understood foreshadowing to mean until now, because isn't foreshadowing always presented before the event it foreshadows comes to pass?
Tumblr media
The flashback/memory minisode, A Companion To Owls, is told after the "present day" event it foreshadows. Does that still count as foreshadowing, or is it instead considered "the big reveal" because it is told after?
And is this all that is meant by various things in Good Omens 2 being "out of order"?
The Hiding Miracle and the Memory That Both Foreshadows and Reveals It?
Indeed, it was a tiny miracle - as titled in the soundtrack - that worked as planned and "barely moved the dials" (but still a miracle in which "Noone will have noticed A Thing" however tiny it was, and that "Nobody notices he's here (...) Nobody can spot him, (...) especially if they're looking for him").
I believe it was the first of three events that happened that night, which, became the main focus of this "quiet, gentle, romantic" season, but paling in comparison to the other two events. Moving on!
Returning to how A Companion to Owls isn't told until after The Hiding Miracle and clues us in as to what was actually going on: this tiny miracle was made to appear far more powerful than it actually was, with the use of showmanship:
The ceremonious setup of being positioned on the circle in the middle of the room hidden under the carpet, between Aziraphale and Crowley; he could have been standing, but instead, "Jim... Sit in this chair." And it's a beautiful chair, like a throne, but Jim being taller wouldn't have worked for the image of the 'W' (similar to the 'W' shape made with Shadwell standing between Aziraphale and Crowley at the airbase, in the book Good Omens.)
Tumblr media
ta-da!-look-at-this-very-complicated-and-powerful-miracle-that-we-are-doing
Why perform at all then, for an audience of none?
Ah, they're not alone, oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo, spooky. Go and see for yourself: check out the bottom left area of the screen when Crowley returns to the bookshop and says, "I'm BACK" (this is to do with the "framing opportunities" secret mentioned in the Gavin Finney BTS article https://britishcinematographer.co.uk/gavin-finney-bsc-good-omens-2/) Aziraphale calmly replies, "Yes, I can see that" and later gasps, reacting to something happening off-screen at 40m41s.
So this performance, not yet knowing who their audience might be, could be as a precaution, just in case.
Tumblr media
Gabriel instinctively crosses his hands and is confused when Aziraphale and Crowley uncross them - or likely because Aziraphale was even standing there at all - because he remembers, or rather, in his mind's eye, sees the shape left behind by a missing piece of furniture.
The ceremonious setup of being positioned in the centre, between Sitis and Job, this time in the background to have Bildad appear a little shorter in height for the stylized 'W', then crossing his hands. The pot containing Sitis and Job's children being the circle, hidden by the circle of carpet (robes) made as Sitis and Job embrace.
Tumblr media
ta-da!-look-at-this-very-complicated-and-powerful-miracle-that-we-are-doing
Had we seen Jim's and Crowley's conversation about memory before The Hiding Miracle instead of much later in episode 5, then it would have been foreshadowing, yes?
*temper rising* A "reveal," or "out-of-order foreshadowing"? (VBUAXNAUSX*keyboard smash*NYVIFGNOMAI) grrrrrr!
...
After the Job story is told, (save for the final scene) and Aziraphale calls for Crowley, my head-cannon used to be that Aziraphale wanted to talk about hair -
Aziraphale: Crowley, I gave you lovely long locks in my retelling of this story, how about you? Crowley: Nah, "shoulder-length bouncy 'bob'" is what I put - a "Lob" I think is what they're calling it these days.
But now I think that, to book-end Crowley's beginning with, "Your boss said that to Job, do you remember?" (imo they are so good at blending in, they can act human better than any human can act human! So, while feigning the memory span&loss&retention of a human, of course they can remember most everything. Angel stock: constitution of an Ox, memory of an Elephant.) Aziraphale may have wanted to remark on Jim's crossed hands from the night before and how similar it was to Crowley's doing so; that it was evidence of Gabriel still somehow being able to connect with images from his memory. "Crowley? You also did that thing... does Gabriel remember?"
If each minisode contains something that foreshadows or reveals what magic tricks occurred during this season's present day events, I feel that the only thing left is from "The Resurrectionists" minisode, where Crowley Goes Large (woah, woah, woah, another case for The Song Is The Clue?!?) ... or makes himself, something or someone else tiny.
"Size and shape are simply options" after all, so I do wonder about Hell's Usher, where the only time we've seen him is when he is small enough to fit in a bathtub and yet he is HUGE in the opening title sequence of season one. Behind him, Noah's Ark stranded between two damaged buildings (or one damaged building and maybe the Pleasure Cruiser Morbillo?)
Tumblr media
Something else that may be revealing of stories yet to be told of the past, while also foreshadowing a near-future event:
Tumblr media
Based on what Crowley said, this is not the first time Crowley and Aziraphale have performed a half-miracle together! Whatever biiiig miracle they're about to do (speculated event #2) could still be completely balanced and undetected, but then a plume of miraculous activity emerging from the circle gateway (privately speculated event #3) is what poor Aziraphale will appear to take the blame for.
Things being out of order may have started with the question, are season two's present day events being told out of order? There are other things appearing out of order as well, for example a change in the order of colours in the Rainbow (for "present day" episode two only I think, beginning Violet then Red, etc.) Or, in this case, narrative devices being so intertwined, one flashback-event can contain images and phrases that both foreshadow something yet to happen as well as to reveal what happened in a part of the story already told.
As always, please no asking or tagging Mr Gaiman as this blog post contains theory and speculation, thank you.
