She limps.

I have been making a concerted effort to finish off some of the books I was reading, before starting any new ones. It's working! I've finished four books in the last five days - pretty impressive, I think you'll agree. Even more so considering that one of them was Le Morte Darthur, which I have been reading on and off for about 18 months. ( Read more... )

wearing the old coat, can't i use my wit as a pitchfork, via ljapp, randomness, we'll always have

Hey there! Thanks for letting us know you made it back from the front in one piece!

wwidsith March 28 2011, 18:55:11 UTC

Yeah - thanks. Got back, slept for about a week. And now, safely back at work..

Yes, this!

Ditto - oh, you're back! That's good... I watched for you in the background of BBC News. I'm sure you appreciate the thought.

I have a friend writing her PhD on women in Malory. That is everything I know on the subject. Useless, sorry.

So, you're still here! That's good!

In fact I believe I was in the background of a couple of Ben Brown's reports, cos when I first got there all us journos wandered around together by the border post. But after a couple of days I gave that up as BORING

Yeah, I've somehow totally lost the willpower to update recently. I think I've probably spent too long on Twitter. I still read LJ every day, I just don't do anything about it!

Did you get up to any mischief out there then?

Ah, you're on Twitter? I just joined, say hello to me -- wwidsith there too

I already knew you were alive, but it's good to see you posting again. :-)

We read Le Morte d'Arthur in tenth-grade1 English, but I guess from your perspective I count as the Internet. :-P And we read it in (mostly) modern translation, whereas I'm guessing you read it in the original?

I, too, would die before marrying a limper. Did you know that the word "lame" used to mean "awesome" until the limpers stole it? True fact.

1. I don't know how to translate this to British "years" or "forms" or whatnot, but it was the year that my classmates were mostly fifteen and sixteen.

See I would call tenth-grade "fifth form", but nowadays it's called "Year 11". So confusing..
