Flippin' heck woman, back with a bang or what? No need to ask what you've been up to, hey. Reading! LOL I think Pride might be my film of the year... it was sooooo good. And yep, I was sobbing by the end. Totally wrecked.
Oh, if only someone would pay me to read! (But honestly, I do the next best thing, so.)
Pride was excellent, wasn't it? So perfectly reminiscent of that particular period - amazing.
Hope all is well with you! Happy holidays up there in the Frozen North! (Although if you get major snow again I am so going to try and wrangle a trip up, just for the making of snowmen!)
I know! So very well done - I really loved it, and I honestly hadn't thought to look for fic. Joys of Yuletide!
Luckily, I have a friend who is seriously into Alan Garner, so whatever tiny publisher he picks we are still able to get his books...
Hope very much all is well down there - V says, disconcertingly quiet of people, but as she was running at crazy hours of the morning I am not altogether surprised!
(I seem to say this every year, but these past couple have been rather tied up elsewhere. But shall I message if I actually manage to book a flight? It'd be grand to catch up.)
Funnily enough, Garner got a mention today. I was at my brother's funeral, and it was him who introduced me to the Weirdstone at age 8 when he had to take me to the doctors for hayfever. I put that bit in to what I wrote for the funeral. I'll re-read soon in memory of him. I'm also overdue for a full re-read of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, as he was responsible for that, to.
Yes, do message me if you;re coming down. I'd love to meet up again.
I was just thinking about you this morning and that I had to email you and wave the holiday hands! Now, because I'm a stupidly lazy, very bad friend, I can leave a comment instead!
Thanks for the recs. I'll have to put them on my list, because I'm a couple of months behind on even opening posts, much less reading and commenting. Soon, though, I promise to post My Encounter with Homeland Security, or How I Discovered that I Never Would Have Made It through the Blitz. This will partially explain why I'm so behind.
Waving back, with more than a little regret - I just haven't been around to keep up with people, and I'm sorry. But I am all in favour of being lazy and very bad friends! - I think it's an archaeological thing? You know you're going to meet the same people again at some point, somewhere, (usually on the phone saying, hi, can I sleep on your sofa for the next three weeks!)and that friendship is not going to go away just because you don't speak for a couple of years!
But - I am so intrigued. My Encounter with Homeland Security???!!! - is bail required? I have not yet orchestrated a prison break out, but would be perfectly willing to give it a try (provided no death is involved) should it be necessary?
Yuletide has been the first time I felt things were getting back to normal - but every time I say that I discover I have lied through my teeth! Fingers crossed for the new year.
Hope so much all is well with you, and that you too had an excellent yuletide - I have been thinking of you these past few weeks, for obvious reasons!
