Seaside towns always end up getting me. The trashy neon lights, the piers and, most of all, the amusement arcades. Twice now, in Brighton and Portsmouth, I have found myself change from amused observer to very serious, very involved player. It's the 2p machines - I get addicted to them. Ended up winning two chupa-chups the other night after ( Read more... )

Just having a chit-chat with flatmates around the table when this bit of info was thrown in ( Read more... )

sheafrotherdon and I joked a bit about London reactions to crises and hardships and such and I realise now that during the War the Marauders (I want to say Sirius, but I think all of them, even James and Lily, pre-pregnancy) would have been more likely down the pub discussing quidditch scores, playing some wizarding equivalent of darts and taking the piss out of ( Read more... )

And they were fantastic. For a man with a paunch Bernard can still cut some fine dance moves and Hookie and his cock rock posturing make me laugh. ( Read more... )

Good god it's hot. I thought I might have baked off half my face sitting in direct sunlight on the train, but narie assures me that everything is normal.

Yes, she is here! We had a suitably emotional reunion at Victoria Station yesterday and then went out shopping for frocks. And scored. Now she is reading personal ( Read more... )

Oh, the unexpected delights of remusxsirius. This Remus and Sirius comic makes me laugh (James even has hiddendaze-sanctioned superhero hair, hee hee). I'm ready to fangirl over this Remus.

It was very hot today but my weird cold-thing refuses to get better so I didn't venture down the stairs or out of doors in classic precious flowerinvalid fashion. Instead I read ( Read more... )

I must have made some bad choices in my life because I discovered an unknown joy last night ( Read more... )
