You are all being very lovely to me whilst I'm in a fairly pathetic mood. I thought I was doing well today, got through loads of my work and home to-do lists and even managed a proper supper despite note getting home till 9.15 BUT I maybe went on tumblr and maybe saw a Gale/Katniss gifset and maybe burst into tears because what?! I mean I know I ( Read more... )

Every time I think about posting the LJ at the moment I realise I could be watching the Commonwealth Games instead and so I don't (sorry ( Read more... )

So I am maybe not coping with everything right now but it's nearly Christmas and that's a cheering thought (although simultaneously a terrifying one!)

I am working through my Nuremberg photos but I took rather a lot so I need to thin them before putting them up anyway- maybe this evening in between Christmas card writing /o ( Read more... )

So I saw Catching Fire yesterday.

We'll see how long I keep that up ( Read more... )

I keep not posting about The Hunger Games because I'm still not 100% sure what I actually thought about them... I mean I liked them a LOT and read them super quick because I was desperate to know what came next BUT the moment I came into contact with the fandom and/or other people's reactions I started wondering why I was reacting in various ways ( Read more... )

It's so gorgeous and sunny outside and I want to be out there and not stuck in here! Ages ago I'd planned to take this afternoon off so I could get to Kingston in plenty of time and wander around the shops & near the river and in this weather it would have been perfect. Sadly it's E's last day in the office before she takes 3 weeks off so I have to ( Read more... )
