Tour of Bogachiel
It was quite the full and sociable weekend. Here's the short version:

Friday evening: a visit from muzzybee, and then from colitis, whom I persuaded to stay for dinner (mmm, nachos). We introduced him to Daria, that wonderful ironic 90's cartoon ( Read more... )

It looks like it's going to be a great weekend!

Shopping
I'm off to the Dunkley's Craft Show this afternoon with Firecracker, which we've both been looking forward to for ages. It was after the Craft Show this time last year that she seduced me, so it holds a special place in my groin heart. Plus it's good for the Giftmas shopping bargains, and ( Read more... )

The house smells delicious at the moment. In the kitchen there's a large pot of grapefruit and lemons merrily boiling away - I am making Marmalade for the first time, courtesy of the grapefruit tree in our front yard, Edmond's Cookbook, and personal inclination ( Read more... )

Socialisation appears to have hit an all-time high since getting hitched - possibly coincidental, possibly not. The many and varied housewarmings are almost certainly coincidental, but invites to dinner? Random 'come and hang out with us' invitations? It's all good. Although I'm not getting a heck of a lot of 'Deb time' for myself. Ah well ( Read more... )

My moods are swinging madly at the moment. I've start taking electrolytes with my morning pills - it tastes like Raro - to help keep all my minerals in balance. The damned humidity has made me sweat like a pig perspire femininely, and it's just been adding to the tiredness. The electrolytes, though, are more effective than V! I bounce around ( Read more... )

Silly, Silly Bastard
Hmm. Arriving at work this morning we found that expletives directed at the warehouse manager had been graffitied on the exterior cafeteria walls. Charming. Looks like Lancelot pissed someone off ... and if we can prove who it was (we know who it probably was, but proving it's another thing entirely) they're going to be in ( Read more... )

The last five days have been both good and bad (with the bad tipping the scales), and it's made me not want to write. Or rather, to write, but about things that I don't want to think about. Confused? So am I.

So I'm going to look at the good: The Housewarming Party that we threw on Saturday to welcome theunshaven and AnttheAussie to our abode, and to ( Read more... )

Clickety click
My latest Awake too Early column at TwoHeadedCat is now up. This week I talk about how grief can affect you physically. (If you're not reading 2HC, you really should be. Fortnightly columns from the likes of murnkay, namfle, mightywombat, marlowe1, vidicon, notsosilent, kiia, culloden, and fabulous cartoons from zerogenius. Um ... I've probably forgotten someone. *grovels*)

newbabel pimped, and it was good ( Read more... )

Where did the weekend go? I meant to update on Saturday, and then yesterday, and forgot/was distracted both times. So now I've got no excuse, and should hurry to appease the slavering masses out there ( Read more... )
