Summary:
Langdon catches her as she’s coming out of North 2, popping up like an oversize jack-in-the-box, his sudden appearance jolting Samira out of thoughts of what tests she needs to run for David Armitage, 53, chest pains.
“Hey. You doing anything after work?”
It takes a second for his words to connect and then she eyes him warily. “Why are you asking me this?” It’s definitely the first time he’s ever inquired about her life outside the E.D. and she can’t even begin to guess why he’s asking.
“I want to talk through our plan of attack,” he says. Off her blank look, he adds, “For our R4.” She still doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and it must show on her face, because he sighs and makes an impatient gesture. “You know, what we talked about last week in the break room.”
I have one of those machines that cut grass with plastic string. I call it the "weed wacker" for convenience sake, though it's not that really. So, anyway, the string seemed to be stuck and was very short and wouldn't put out anymore. I thought, well, I'll have to fix it.
It was a titan struggle. I looked on several YT videos and I made the job much harder than it had to be as I learned what to do. The manufacturers do try to make these things idiot proof but we find a way to complicate things. After about an hour and half of struggling with it and drenched in flop sweat, I got the string wound back on the machine and I think it's fixed.
In other news, I voted.
I've ordered the new Murderbot book.

I've been enjoying learning about the 1845 Franklin Expedition (we recently watched season 1 of The Terror, right now I'm reading The Man Who Ate His Boots, and May We Be Spared to Meet on Earth just shipped) so I was delighted to see that the Franklin Expedition is back in the news! The remains of four members of the crew have been identified through DNA! (This study is specifically about the three members of the Erebus, the article about the sailor from the Terror will be published soon.)
Edit: The second article is out now!

Past R.E.P.O.R.T posts are in this tag :) CW: More food pics, I'm so sorry. There are like, 5 images and 1 video embed so the post is pretty dang stretched out.
Sorry for the late update! I mean, it's not like I'm obligated to make these posts or anything, but I guess I'm sorry it's so late into the week that I'm updating today and then the next update will (hopefully) be at the same day as usual, which is rather soon?
I accidentally messed up my sleep schedule to the point where I was crashing after work and sleeping for over 12 hours so I didn't really have time to do anything on my laptop. Oops.

One of the great things about Murder She Wrote is all of the actors doing terrible Maine accents. It never fails to amuse.

Changing to the official English spellings of the names I guesss.
Chapter 6: Agott is still being cruel to Coco but I understand some of what she's attempting to say, but she's also not giving Coco a chance.
Very lovely moment between Tetia and Coco. I love Tetia's clouds.
Chapter 7: It's sweet that Coco used Tetia's clouds to lure the dragon in. X'D
"That's Agreat!" 😂
She gets to watch them work their magic up close. :P
The Dragon-Stupefying Cushion haha it's so cute.
The one who gave Coco the book has hold of her. "Let me teach you everything Qifrey won't. And when the time comes you'll..." So these challenges are going to be a regular thing. But what was she supposed to learn from this one? He gave her something but what?
Chapter 8: Brushbug really likes Richeh (and the others), it's adorbs.
Oh, Olruggio's first appearance! Poor Coco got a scare. He doesn't want anything to do with the Brimhats.
Chapter 9: Tetia's poofy hair. 🤣
Olruggio is the 'watchful eye' for Qifrey's atelier. They make sure nothing untoward happens. He's also busy making magical items.
The Order of the Council of Magic Security would've erased Coco's memory in an instant if they knew about her because all they care about is the law, even if she would lead them to the Brimhats.
Coco winning Olruggio over with her love of his magic. :')
Chapter 10: Qifrey is worried how Agott is fixated on the stuff she doesn't know yet instead of on what she can accomplish. Instead of taking Olruggio's advice to heart gets even more impatient.
Agott is working so hard to earn the approval of the people of those who've looked down on her. "I had such high hopes for you, Agott... I'm disappointed." "I can't believe she's her daughter." etc
The leader(?) of the Council of Magic Security is Lord Estheath.
Chapter 11: Coco and Agott are working hard together to save the boy who fell, alone Agott might've stayed paralyzed but Coco kept her moving.
Coco learned from Richeh and Agott and now Agott os learning by watching Coco even if she doesn't want to admit it.
Whatever the Brimhat gave Coco made her spell too strong and now she's in trouble with Magic Security. 😭
