This is what I see when I go out of the house, and it makes me so positively dizzy with joy I am in danger of picking up and floating away.
Secondly, first episode of the series 6 of Doctor Who = scary snappy flirty perfection in Utah desert. I hope the ending does not mean what I think it means but OMG. Also, in the first scene Eleven says "You know, this isn't nearly as bad as it looks" - i.e. goes for the obvious awkward filler phrase that is obviously going to fall flat - PROOF that Eleven is indeed Aziraphale.
Which brings me to my next point, which has to do with Good Omens (that I finished rereading and have now promised to the Irish boy in whatever hopes i don't know, and I need to come up with a brilliant inscription). Also Crowley and Aziraphale are incredible. In the spirit of surviving Doomsday and being human and yes, well, Resurrection, and with great thanks to
irisbleufic for giving me a chance to discover those two again through her brilliant stories, I give you a fanmix, loosely based on the trilogy of
A Better Place,
The Walls, the Wainscot and the Mouse,
What to Do When the Clock Just Stops, and
Creature Comforts (in order of release). In short, the angel, the demon, and a home in South Downs where there is perfect cocoa and you can see France on a clear day. The title is a direct quote form the second story, as you will probably guess. The whole thing is pretty vanilla, so I apologize..? (Not really.)
