Ok. Snow I get. Thunder & Lightning I get. But... Snow, thunder and lightning at the same time? Really very weird. Also giving me a fantastically interesting headache that probably explains the dizziness earlier, maybe. Also, the pussy cat is both terrified of the thunder, and loving the fact that I'm letting her snuggle up under the blanket I ( Read more... )

My camera arrived (at ridiculous o'clock, something like 8.50pm or something, who delivers that late?!) and I charged it, and have been having fun trying to take pictures of the cat as she decides that despite (or because of...) the fact that she's just sat still for five minutes, she's going to move her head, or get up and walk out just as I get ( Read more... )

Does anyone remember the internet kerfuffle that happened about someone in a Hogwarts sorting community who was "so goth that they bartended, in the dark"? I remember it from some reference in Fandom_wank that I still occasionally go and visit. Anyway, I was hoovering today, and while I started when it was still a little light, by the time I'd ( Read more... )

And now finally, and behind the times, I have set up the new computer (actually six months old, but it's still new and exciting to me!) to use the wireless modem as a wireless modem. When I managed to set it up I actually had a "Yes, it's ALIVE, it's ALIVE!" *giggle ( Read more... )

New CSI - Next Tuesday (Vegas) & Saturday (New York). So exciting, although it looks like Catherine's going to have some problems in Tuesday's double episode. *is excited & puts it on Sky Reminder ( Read more... )

We're having Christmas in the dark!

I saw keith_hood and paranoid_blonde (albeit briefly) today. Keith_hood stayed for a warming cup of tea, and a brief magic show (show off more like!), and although paranoid_blonde was only here very briefly because we'd just started to eat dinner and she had a migrane it was nice to see them both. I showed my newly decorated Christmas cake off to Keith, and he ( Read more... )

I got Candy Canes! They're very pretty, green & red striped. Now I just have to decide if I'm going to give them away, or be a Candy Cane hog - my inner five year old is saying 'keep them' but my outer slightly more sensible 22 yr old is saying give them away. Although that will mean I have to go back and buy more & I don't have any plans to go ( Read more... )

Cookie for everyone who can tell me the title of my favourite Christmas song - the clue is in the title of the post!

Yesterday I went a-shoppin' with keith_hood. I bought baubles for the tree, and had a big search for new boots and looked for Christmas presents for the few people who I'm buying them this year. Lack of imagination scuppered that plan, and a ( Read more... )

I went in to Bromley today to do pre-Christmas reconnaissance of the shops. I have found some Christmas decorations that might make our Christmas tree look slightly more like someone with taste put it together, instead of looking like someone took the box of decorations and threw it at the tree. I also found myself a new umbrella, it's big and ( Read more... )
