The good news is that the boiler is being fixed on Saturday morning. The bad news is that to complete the fix, they need to do something to the radiators in each room in late morning/early aft, which means a) I need to tidy and that sort of thing before allowing other people entry in here, and b) I prefer to *be* here while stuff is done, which ( Read more... )

Back in Southampton after the Reading Festival. I definitely plan to make a proper post about it, but I thought I'd say hi, I survived my first festival! With, it has to be said, lots of help. More than I would have liked, lol, which is mildly embarrassing and annoying but ultimately all right, because, a) I *did* make it through, albeit with the ( Read more... )

I thought the interview today went well. I found her really easy to talk to - and to maintain eye contact with, which is almost unheard-of for me. I'm terrible about that; it is, quite seriously, one of the biggest reasons I like making friends on the Internet first, so I don't have to make any eye contact until I've already achieved a certain ( Read more... )

I can't quite remember what I wanted to post about. Aside from a bit of squee that Felipe Massa won the French Grand Prix today, anyway. :D But beyond that, I'm just headachey and feel drained. Of all the stupid things to have an unexpected, bad allergic reaction to. Pizza. *eyeroll* I suppose it's a kick in the butt to start being more careful ( Read more... )

I'm not a fast writer, alas, so I'm working through the prompts slow-ish, but if anyone still wants to play, you can try to baffle me with a line of my fic here. If I can't name which fic, or if you give me three separate examples to guess, you can have a drabble of your choice. (I'll let you know if it's a person/fandom I don't know enough about, ( Read more... )

Can't brain, have the tiiired; proper report later. Pictures also later. Barcelona is an hour ahead of GMT so I've now navigated yet another time shift - a double one this time! - and expect all progress towards achieving a regular sleep pattern has been destroyed, lol. So for now, have some bullet points ( Read more... )

looking_spiffy and I packed to the strains of American Idiot earlier (okay, so it took slightly longer than one revolution of the album :P) and barring those last-minute things to grab, we're ready to head off to Spain tomorrow. Eeeee! I'm excited. Tonnes of planning has been done about what we might go see, etc. - very little of it by me, lol. I've been oddly ( Read more... )

I feel slightly better today. Still hacking up a lung, but my head does not feel on the verge of exploding due to sinus pressure, so that's an improvement. :P I'm going to repeat the "dose, sleep" cycle shortly since tomorrow will be an early day. (There will not, however, be porn this time. Sorry ( Read more... )
