Yes, I know, I suck at updating, but I also suck at writing and a whole bunch of other things lately, so we are PAR FOR THE COURSE! On the happy side, in approximately two months I will be seeing Kevin Whately in the flesh on stage, and you know, this means I will also be BACK IN ENGLAND. SO EXCITED OMG. There's also a chance to see Roger Allam in a play too, but I have to think about it because we don't want to burn ourselves out completely, and the tickets are also about $50 a pop and, uh, I'm trying not to blow all my dough before I even get there. It sucks being a) middle-aged and b) not made of money. Sadly this will probably be our last UK trip for at least a couple of years, but we're really looking forward to showing our friends around and soaking up as much of London as we can. :)
I had another birthday last week and it was quite nice, improved hugely by fannish good wishes and pressies from people like
sheafrotherdon, who is as always, the loveliest, and
mrs_sweetpeach, who is as talented as she is generous. And THEN I got a notice from AO3 that I had not one, but two stories written in honour of my natal day! First, there was the adorable
Rain by
paperscribe, and then there was the sweet and hot
Phone a Friend by
wendymr! I may not be quite as active in fandom as I'd like to be, but there's still nothing like fandom people to lift your spirits. Thanks so much to all of you. <3
