Collateral Damage

[anteros_lmc]

Finally, finally I've got most of my work deadlines out of the way. It's been a very long end, to a very, very long year. I try not the let RL bollox spill over into this journal, which after all is for navyboys, fangirling and nonsense, but it has to be said, the last two years have been completely and utterly shit workwise. Seems like I am

Good Lord-- what is up with his hair? He looks as if he's been tumbled in the surf!

I am well. Usual intrusions from the stupid world here too.

It's his "Windswept and Interesting" look. Do you like it? Also, when I was screencapping this I realised that Archie is master of the forced smile. When he is trying to hide his feelings he adopts a most unconvincing smile. It's heartbreaking.

Good :) Btw, in amongst the chaos I managed to despatch the jolly boat, with a small parcel of silly wee things.

Stupid world is stupid. Do you still have landlord woes?

[eglantine_br]

Yes. As always

Sorry to hear about C, hope you've all recovered. It must be very distressing for everyone. No wonder you worry. Why on earth do they send a fire truck though? That's very odd! I hope you don't have to pay for the firemen :/

I thought of Archie, and wondered again how much of his acid whiplash word choice was because of that, the first way that he was defenseless
I'm quite sure, that's true.

Merry Festivities, and thank you for my card.

I'm going to try and take things easy for the next week or so. Hope you manage to do the same.

[anteros_lmc]

Taking things easy sounds grand! I have to start two new projects next week and then I'm off for a fortnight. Work has a nasty holiday of creeping into holidays but I'm determined not to work over Christmas and New Year.

Do you want to join my private detective agency? It'll be like Magnum! Only with spaniels.

[anteros_lmc]

Whit?! Since when did you have a private detective agency?!! Honestly, I go off line for a few days and this is what happens...

[esmerelda_t]

Have you not noticed a rather portly spaniel in rain mac and hat waddling about? It's bartholomew on reconnaissance!

[anteros_lmc]

Not sure I can quite see Bartholomew as an undercover detective!

[eglantine_br]

You two would be awesome private detectives! But Magnum is in Hawaii, so maybe you would have to go there for a month or so, (just to get the ambiance right.) I am sure you could teach Barty to surf...

[anteros_lmc]

Looks like Bartholomew's Detective Agency already has a Hawaiian branch! XD

[esmerelda_t]

Awwwwww look at them!

They're not going to catch many cheating spouses lying about wearing flowers though! Bartholomew's a hard task master!

[anteros_lmc]

Aren't they adorable?! Of course I now have the Hawaii Five O theme tune stuck in my head! :} I was just about to drop you a mail btw.

We, dear nodbear and I, bought a tiny christmas tree :) His name is Archie. But I think he doesn't like his purple outfit very much :) He dropped two chocolates and a glass heart already lol!

[anteros_lmc]

Hmmm....I'm not sure purple is Archie's colour. Try dressing him in blue and gold instead :)

[amaraal]

:) Maybe next year. I wasn't sure about posting a pic. It's nodbear's Archie after all. Blue and gold seconded!
