HELLO 2012. This post has been sitting in a draft in Word for over a week whilst I wrote my reaction post to Sherlock 2x01 at such a shockingly slow pace that the series overtook me and now it seems A BIT POINTLESS. Maybe I’ll just save all my thoughts and feelings on the new series till the finale this Sunday and then let all of my Sherlock-y ( Read more... )

I hope everyone's had a happy Christmas/a good weekend! Mine has been surprisingly pleasant. Strange and sad and new though it was to not have my nan with us, there were undeniably less arguments without her ( Read more... )
