On going on holiday and other thoughts
We go on holiday on Sunday (hooray!), being picked up at 7.10am (rather less hooray). And obviously I'm busy for the three evenings before that. So if you don't hear from me until Saturday week, I'm not ignoring you, or being more incompetent than usual, but just not here - physically as well as mentally ;)
We're going to Bruges for one night. Last time we went to Bruges it was March and it was bitterly cold and snowed. I'm hoping for better weather this time. From there we go to Cochem on the Moselle River in Germany. We've not been there before, and have only visited Germany for an afternoon, when we went to Trier - we have a day trip to Trier this time too, so hopefully we'll see more of the town than we did last time. It poured with rain then. If anyone would like a postcard then please PM me your address - and also your name unless you want your LJ name available for the postman to read.
I found out why I wasn't getting any email notifications for new posts on LJ - it turned out that all the tick boxes for notifications had been unticked. Also, my icons are now working again - yey!
I am extremely unimpressed that Lewis aired in the States before it did over here. But at least thirdbird_fic wrote me a lovely ficlet, which I want to recommend Rescued.
The daughter thing phoned the other day. She has her Christmas hours. She's volunteered to work a long day on Christmas Day and will either come home straight afterwards or first thing on Boxing Day. Because we need to maintain the family tradition of me taking her to the Matalan sale.
