Eurostar and Lille and sekkrit trip sounds like it should be awesome - I'm glad it was! Yay!

Did anyone break anything?

(That's my own hysterical laughter you hear) If only that were not literally true.

Although it breaking caused me to make another stupid mistake with more lasting fallout that is far from sorted. But at least I have no one to blame but myself, I suppose. I'm so sorry about the burglary trauma. ::hugs and blankets::

I actually groomed my LJ reading list to try to protect myself from TW spoilers. It's extreme, but I don't need *that* stress too!

Why is stuff that's good for us so tiring?

That is such a good question! And yeah, I was afraid the break-in sounded like the kind of thing that might sneak up on a person later as well. ::passes the tea::


::goes to look:: Oscar is there! Squee. Pretty animals.

I got your postcard from Manchester! It brightened up an otherwise stinky week and made me squee a lot.

Welcome home!

If your f-list is anything like mine, it has been very quiet. All the Americans were gone for the Fourth of July weekend and are just now staggering back in, dazed, sunburned and overfed.

I still need your address so I can send Oscar your direction. :-)

And on that note I must be going; getting ready to begin that new mural job today.

*hugs* Glad you had a fun time!

Nothing terribly exciting has happened in my neck of the woods, although I (being a baby writer) am learning that herding plot bunnies is rather like herding cats. I have a feeling that this realisation gets me a pat on the had and an 'isn't she cute' from everyone else in the world but hey, it's news to me.

I did spend maybe fifteen minutes after I nominally went to bed writing down an idea in my notebook for one of the stories that is actually on my 'active' list. And whilst scribbling madly I was struck that it really is quite amazing to watch words form on the page in response to my pen. Isn't it neat!

I do need a prompt from you :)

Thank you very kindly for your offer! I do appreciate it! I don't think I need anything right now, although I will let you know if that changes. I do very much appreciate your reading and responding and letting me ramble at you (although how I think you could stop me when I was rambling in a comment pane in a computer which is not in your physical presence I don't actually know, but I appreciate it nonetheless!). Take as long to reply as you will-- or don't reply if that's the way of it-- 'tis all good. (Plus, I'm not sure how much is *replyable* versus just 'yes I did read you')

Any road, I did just put up another massive tl;dr post, this time on how I accidentally wrote a first draft of a prompt that isn't even on the Big List O' Cliches but still manages to meet the prompt it should have been (four times over, even) even though the prompt I was writing to is one I thought I couldn't. I'm not positive that sentence makes sense but that's probably because I'm not sure it actually makes sense in the first place. Anyway, I think the entire post is terribly funny. And I am pleased that I do have words of some sort down. So life is reasonably happy.

*hugs* Hey, hon! Glad you had a good time, you deserved a nice weekend away. Lille sounds lovely, I can't wait to hear all about it.

I still owe you a weekend away as well, if I recall correctly.

*pokes diary* November looks good to me. Any preferences? It might be nice to do something a little more structured than wombling around in search of coffee shops :) Theatre, concert, museum, Madame Tussauds, shopping, theme park . . . ? My treat.
