No not mine - you lot!

I've been mostly absent from LJ the last two weeks and there's been a creativity explosion on my flist. Vids from Vividcon and Art and such. What a busy lot you've been. It'll take me a while to look at them all though.

Busy blowing up the washing machine with the holiday washing. My creativity will have to wait.

So we're back briefly from our 4 days of Culture in London. We stayed with a niece who has a place in East Croydon - only 15 minutes from London Bridge and it was perfect for zipping in and out. They've both lived/studied  in London for some years and her fiance Niro knows the transport system inside out. I'm a bit rusty on anything outside of the ( Read more... )

I've spent the entire day doing laundry in the wake of the holiday.  The kittehs were pleased to see us and there was little destruction which was a pleasant surprise ( Read more... )

So we're off in about 2hrs. We're stopping overnight at Mum's as she is nearer the tunnel,  then this is the itinerary ( Read more... )

It's amazing how much for granted I took living near London.  A 20 minute train ride and you'd be there. Now we have to jaunt to the rellies and stay over night. This Easter El nagged us to go to London - she's been several times before but remembers little of it, so we have to revisit some places.  Top of her list was Madame Tussauds. Then Science ( Read more... )

It's taken a while what with conventions and all taking my time but awards are now posted. Congratulations to all the winners, it was one hell of a round, seriously. Go here to check them out.

I'm also bouncing an idea for a 'Fandom Face Off' special round in the summer. There's a poll to gauge interest here.

Now I'm off to Cornwall for a week on ( Read more... )

I'm back.

Wonderful holiday, lots of lazing in the sun by the pool (melt! ) a sprinkling of wandering around medieval tuscan towns and cities,  and some much needed one on one time with my dear friend.   She really had an annus horribilus in 2008 and I found myself wishing that I wasn't so remote, so I could be more supportive. I think she has ( Read more... )

So I'm back from the holiday across the pond.  TStorm Fay did just about everything she could to make us feel well at home with the torrential rain and high winds. Bit like being on a Cornish beach in August. We were lucky though much of Florida was flooded.  But on a serious note I see that Gustav is threatening New Orleans area and my thoughts ( Read more... )

I think I threatened to post some pics last year and for whatever reason it never happened. This year, my flist, you get a sneaky peak at the delights of Tuscany :D

As it was unbelievably hot this year (43 deg C)  and in Florence twice as busy we limited the amount of sightseeing - We revisited Florence and the Uffizi, found a less busy  Medieval  ( Read more... )

So like a sheep I did the test that bradcpu did. ( Check these weird results out.... )
