I can hear a fucking peacock outside somewhere

Of course they are so bloody loud that there's no way of knowing where the bastard thing is.

How To write Gay Characters In Your Mainstream Fiction: A Guide For A Friend. Slightly tongue-in-cheek in places, as the title should hopefully imply

Interesting blog post, and I agree with it completely. I'm reading (sort of) a vampire series where one of the characters if gay and very little is made of the fact, which is quite nice. It's House of Night and it'll be in the children's section.

Also, I'll be in London at some point in February (definitely the 27th but possibly the 8th too), we must meet for tea and cake!

Well that sounds good! As does hanging out for cake. I should hopefully be a wage slave again by that point, but evening is perfectly fine and I'm sure we'll find somewhere open for tea and cake-having. :D

I hope not to be in London come evening. The last bus home is at 6pm and I'm not going to make that, so it'll be a lift from my mum, and she won't want to play taxi too late. :/ I will be free from 11am until 2pm though, so maybe lunch?

Depending on whether I'm working from home or from the office that should be possible!

[angelofsith]

It's definitely the 8th and the 27th now. I'll be free on the 8th from 11am and I have an appointment at 2:45pm on the 27th.

Any news on the lunch/mid-day cake situation? I'll be checking my email when I can but sending a text message might be best if you can make it.

So far, no job, so I'm around (and in town to meet someone else, so theoretically no problem at all).

[angelofsith]

Can you send me text message to say where to meet you? My train home is at 3:50-ish. Not sure how long I'll be waiting at the hospital for though.

Shall do, love. <3
