A very happy Easter to all those observing it. I've had quite a busy Easter weekend, all in all.

I met up with monanotlisa on Saturday and we went to see Six Degrees of Separation (front-row centre complimentary seats, courtesy of the amazing athena25 ) which was wonderful. ( Snippety snip for review. )

I had a fab day today. I don't really post much, and when I do it's generally depression-filled, so I imagine my shock - nay, astonishment! - when I had three good days in a row. Impossible, I swear.

The weekend was blissfully quiet. athena25 was away for LARPing shenanigans, so I took the opportunity to be domestic. And by 'domestic', I don't mean that I ( Read more... )

Ah, ha, I have survived! Triumph, yes.

The last few weeks have been stupidly, hideously busy, and the next few weeks perhaps even more so - but the end is in sight! Last weekend monanotlisa came for a visit, and we had a fabulous time visiting the Moctezuma exhibit, viewing the 'Ice Worlds' show at the National Maritime Museum, afternoon tea at the Wolseley ( Read more... )

I had a lovely time on Thursday, finally having that long-delayed dinner with mizzykitty. After far too much sushi, we went back to mine to mainline B5 (she hasn't seen it! A possible new convert, hallelujah!) and geek out. It was ever so much fun, and it got me thinking.

( B5 S1 waffling )

I had a wonderful day today wandering about town with my mother. We hung out at the V&A, ate and bought hat-making equipment. Yes, it's summer, I have time off, this means I am now making hats. I have no millinery experience, so this should be interesting. But the raw materials were on sale at the V&A, and I was playing around with them and put ( Read more... )

A very happy Easter to everyone celebrating! This is technically a week before the Bulgarian Easter, but it is the Armenian and English Easters, so we decided to observe it today. It was when my Lent calendar said 40 days ended, anyway!

Today was lovely. monanotlisa and I went to church with my family - the Armenian Church in Kensington - which was tricky yo ( Read more... )

I think over-exposure to the Watchmen fandom has broken my brain. There I am, happily gorging on the good and the bad, and my subconscious comes up with this gem. ( Just realised this is mildly spoilery. )

OK, now, this is just getting ridiculous. Either I have stupid fingers or was temporarily unable to count last night, or The Berkley website is messing me about and making reservations for me for the wrong month. Neither option fills me with much joy. I am eschewing the electronic option in favour of, er, emailing in a reservation. There shall be ( Read more... )

I HELD A BABY TODAY.

One of the things I love about where I live is that it's full of families, and everyone knows everyone in the shops. My local grocers? I've watched his son grow up. The local Budgens would order in stuff for me. (And it broke my heart to find that they closed! Stupid new Tesco and credit crunch. *sulk*)

Anyway, athena25 and I were at ( Read more... )

The weekend was spent in Edinburgh, celebrating best mate E's nuptials. There was much drinking, much eating, and a ceidlih, which means my arches re in dire need of TLC. Never mind, there were also lots of gorgeous Navy guys in uniform happy to provide it. Of course, I refused to give anyone my number, much to E's eye-rolling amusement. But the ( Read more... )
