*lights the birthday candles*
Here in balmy NZ it has just passed midnight - it's no longer Jan 10: My darling Dad's 80th birthday - but it is now offically Jan 11, which is the birthday of the most awesome best friend a gal could ever wish to have ( Read more... ) -

I love you
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked

Squint a bit
Reading a Klaine fic that's a reworking of Legally Blonde made me want to watch the film again for the first time in about 10 years.
So we find it online and start watching and it's cute but something really bugs me about the ex-boyfriend Warner, apart from him being a massive arse for dumping Reece Witherspoon's character.

Noisy cough beast
Happy birthday to deltachild from the House of Ham!
My not-sure-if-it's-a-lurgy has moved from throat to bronchial tubes which is ace, because I know how to handle that sort of lurgy.
However, because of the lurgy yesterday's date was a bit of a wash-out. The movie was really quite dull and couldn't be bothered to get the frapp afterwards. So came home and ( Read more... ) -
Ginger Judas
Tim Minchin is going to play Judas in the new ALW version of Jesus Christ Superstar. Yes, yes, yes and again I say yes. Snarky, Australian, back-combed, ginger Judas is just my cup of tea.
And if that didn't make me giddy with piano-thumping excitement, Chris Moyles (my totally inexplicable secret crush) is going to play Herod. Ohhhhh what a pity if ( Read more... ) -
I've still got it...
...although sometimes I still doubt I ever had it.
So my day was totally made this morning when my favourite barista, whose coffee chain shop we visit maybe only two or three times a month, confirmed in the most blatant terms that yes he was flirting me.
His name is Alex, he's no more than mid-20s, he's seriously cute and he makes excellent coffee. ( Read more... ) -
That was quick
The IT guy has just wandered up stairs with the remote control for the electronic clocks and set them all forward by an hour.
This means I only have to work seven hours instead of eight.
I have to confess that I like our overnight shift (10pm to 6am for seven nights and then the next seven off) - but logistically it's a bit of a nightmare to be ( Read more... ) -

That was a week
Well, what a week that was.
There was a birth, a birthday, brownie, new boots (sadly the b's end there); plus Shropshire, a new cocktail, a new Homin fic, marathoning a most excellent new US drama and indulging in my favourite Korean rom-com thanks to a gifted boxset.
The best part of the week was that our lovely Val gave birth to the most beautiful ( Read more... )
