Look, I know St Bernards never carried alcohol in barrels round their necks BUT seriously, if a St Bernard were to bring me a hot toddy right now that would be great. And while I was drinking it if the St Bernard could just promise not to slobber and then drape itself over me like a giant furry blanket? That would be even better.

Hubby is currently at the Channel Tunnel on his way to Barcelona with a truckful of stuff for Les Mis', which is great because it means he'll get more money at the end of the month, but also means I won't see him this week ( Read more... )

I was just leafing through some stuff online and discovered that one of the icon communities I used to participate in isn't there any more. Not just 'closed' for business, but deleted and purged. On the one hand, I left it ages ago because it was run by people who couldn't understand that some of their members didn't like to be spoiled for stuff; ( Read more... )

I was in town today - to use the post office - so I took the opportunity to visit the fabric and yarn shops while I was there. In the first one I struck up a conversation with a woman about crochet - we were standing in the yarn section at the time - which very quickly morphed into a conversation about costuming (it's her job), corsets and ( Read more... )

Thing One
I had pretty much forgotten that I even signed up for wrisomifu last year, until I just spotted the sign up post for this year on my Friends Page. So... seeing that I really need to get writing again I think I'm going to knuckle down and really try and do that pesky 10 minutes a day ( Read more... )

I had a good time over there last year, so I've just signed up to do a piece of art and a fic for tibbs_yuletide. Not that I've written anything in a lo-o-o-ong time, but there have been faint stirrings, and it is a good month away. *crosses fingers*

I have a vague plan of action concerning this year's consci_fan_mo that includes putting up last year's Master List (HUGE ( Read more... )

Aldi! I Never shop in Aldi - there's been a local store, here, for a couple of years now and I've been in it twice, but my brother really likes their tinned Yellow Fin tuna so he dragged me there last night and I found yarn! Cheap yarn. In pretty colours. Okay, so it was mostly suitable only for babies/children BUT there was also some balls of ( Read more... )

What it, and I, really need a shiny Big Finish Audio download session.

I wonder if we've any money in the bank? We might have. Though I suppose technically it should be saved to buy important stuff like, say, food ( Read more... )

1) Husband has just arrived home. *bounces*
2) I find I can no longer bear to even contemplate reading Ten/Jack.
3) Bold font in large size, for the entirety of the fic, makes my head hurt.
4) Beta brain is in overdrive. Good job I am going home without my laptop tonight, as otherwise I would be tearing my hair out very soon.

The thing that I was trying to avoid doing could not be put off ANY longer, and has now been accomplished.

Having kicked *that* into submission I can reward myself with writing meme responses tomorrow/later today. Right? If anyone wants to add a prompt, please feel free to do so *nudges you ( Read more... )
