Gaaah, I have 6 minutes left ( Read more... )

The only saving grace of my job is the view. We have patio doors in the studio that look out into a large garden with trees at the bottom. We border the park, so we get quite a lot of wildlife. Ok, mainly pigeons and magpies, but we also have a pair of jays, a green woodpecker, even deer on occasion! Not to mention a million squirrels, who keep us ( Read more... )

You know how sometimes, you've had a lovely week off work, and you go back, feeling all relaxed and refreshed, and you suddenly find yourself tipped headfirst into a bubbling cauldron of hot, boiling insanity? Yeah well... you know, just in case anyone was wondering why I haven't posted about my divine weekend with the lovely peoples. For now I ( Read more... )

Oh, I'm faffing. Off to London in a bit to meet with some of the lovely peoples. YAY! But just at the moment I don't know what to do with myself. I keep changing my outfit every time the sun goes in. I think I'll have a cup of tea ( Read more... )

I stayed at the delightful omgiwantit residence of one Ms blythely, and on the Sunday attended a sumptuous afternoon tea provided by Madam lazlet, along with the aformentioned blythe one, and the celebrated and charming ukcalico.

So, I went to London. Bus to blythely's is the 42, which would seem to confirm it as answer to life, etc etc. Blythe excellent cook and gracious hostess and generally fabulous also. We observe the wonder that is Johnny Depp in Ed Wood, followed by 'I'm not really pregnant' Scully in nostalgic X Files. Saturday, I get to use the special hobbit shower! And ( Read more... )

I forgot about beta appreciation day, which is kind of appropriate since I usually forget to get my work beta'd in the first place. But anyway, here's to hjartad, lobelia321 and shrinetolust, who were enormously helpful and fabulous on the one occasion when I did remember, and I hope will condescend to be so again in the future ( Read more... )

On Thursday last, I (along with several others) was pleased to dine at the residence of the redoubtable clara_swift and family, where I witnessed the remarkable ability of the younger Master Swift to turn his ears inside out, so resembling those of an elf. We later played parlour games, and I failed miserably at a fiendish amusement in which the players are ( Read more... )
