they put gas (the north sea gas kind, not the kind americans put into cars) prices up again here recently. and now my central heating is eating through money at an impressive rate. *is under blankets on the couch and wearing fingerless gloves* but i have survived a week of work avalanches. though the forecast is for more of the same next week, woe. also: snow! which means all of NI will grind to a halt should more than 1cm lie on the ground. exciting!
aviemore sled-dog rally: huskie pictures! (mainly for the_antichris) about to watch the last 25 minutes of the HCL commentary - insert EEEEEE noises here - and have nothing to say, except, as i have previously been telling helleboredoll (cuts & pastes because: lazy), i have a worrying desire to write an RPS/HCL crossover. there's been paul/fraser, right? so why not hugh/joe dick? i mean, i'm not a weirdo or anything. this is a wholly reasonable concept and in no way a freakish newfound kink on my part that came to me while i was cycling home last night and caused me sufficient distraction that i almost ran a red light. right? i demand validation! or, you know, you can call me a freak and back away slowly. it's all good!
unsurprisingly, hel (not, as it turns out, 'doll. oops. but you CAN tell us this stuff, woman!) is in favour. everyone else, i'm sorry. but i want to!
