I'll take 'Places I Barely Heard Of Before Going There' for a thousand, Alex.

Wife and I just returned from a long weekend at the Golden Isles (please note if you click that link: a video will start playing). Specifically, mostly Jekyll Island.

Hands up, anyone who's actually heard of Jekyll Island before this. (If you've heard of Driftwood Beach at least, that counts.)

( Went there for turtles, came back enthused about the history because HOW ARE THERE NOT A MILLION MURDER MYSTERIES SET HERE. )

In other news, I read the novel version of GOOD OMENS aloud to Wife. It had been a while since I read it, so the contrast to the series was fascinating. I'd forgotten exactly how much got changed. Yes, there's the big obvious things - the focus on Crowley and Aziraphale (who are So In Love)*, or 'let's give Aziraphale an actual character arc', or the usual pruning and rearranging when you're adapting a book to screen (a moment of silence for the Other Four Horsemen). But there's also things like 'not defaulting everyone, both main characters and background, to White (Preferably British) Male'. Next plans are to re-watch the series, so we can properly appreciate the changes.

*Which was my fannish experience of the book anyway.
